    If that's your thing, by all means. There is some science that supports taking an ice bath after an endurance event, but if you like a cold shower, go for it.

    Did you get some stretching in while muscles were warm? Sure.

    You absolutely MUST NOT shower with cold water. Only hot. If you want to use cold, it must be a bath. But no cold showers! It destroys your metabolism!

    You can, sure. After mowing a lawn I like a cold shower and a beer. Specifically, drinking the beer in the shower... you will be fine :D

    Sure, and if spin and sing a song while showering, you'll lose 5 pounds.

    No of course not you can only have a cold shower before a workout. It has to be a hot one afterward but you need to make sure you are facing North east.

    I have actually read before that a cold shower after a workout can shock the system or some crap, maybe that's where this is coming from. I do it now and then and I'm fine...
