An alternating hot/cold shower is a great therapy to get your body to feel better after a hard
training session. I always start with about 3 minute hot shower and
alternate with 3 minutes cold shower. I will usually do about 3 cycles and
end with cold shower. If I am feeling banged up, I may do this up to three times
per day. I can't think of anything else that will leave you feeling refreshed,
energized, and make you feel 10 years younger in less than 10 minutes.
Here is a good article that has references to studies that demonstrate
the efficacy of the hot/cold treatment.
