Hey, everybody, it's Marielle.
You ever heard of a polar bear plunge?
That's when a bunch of people get together sometimes as a New Year's Day tradition, and jump into the freezing ocean.
Ready, guys?
Oh, yeah.
Walk in.
Walk in with intention.
Wow.
People are now doing this all year round.
It's called cold plunging.
Ready?
Go.
1230.
That was good.
That feels good.
And cold plunging is exactly what it sounds like.
You submerge yourself in cold water, and it doesn't have to be the ocean.
This could be in a tub in the backyard.
It could be in a frozen lake.
