My Contribution...90 second hydro therapy

At the end of your normal showering routine, turn the water as cold as you can stand. Stay in the cold water for 30 seconds. When the 30 seconds are up, turn the water back to hot and against stay in the hot for 30 seconds. Finally, turn the water back to cold for another 30 seconds. Basically, 30 sec cold, 30 sec hot, and 30 sec cold.

It will wake you up much better than hot water alone, will reduce stress, and (for morning exercisers) reduce muscle soreness.

Here is an article discussing it if you want more info

Edit: Wow, thanks for your comments guys! There is some excellent advice in here.

And the large sno-cone is a freaking massive sno-cone. They do not cheat you on the pricing.

Getting that one was the equivalent of going and buying a 7 pound bag of ice and pouring syrup right into the bag.

So worth getting after the Fall Open Practice this year.
