Picture of the day: Julie Gichuru and her husband take a 25 minute cold bath together

Julie Gichuru and her hubby sure know how to spend quality time together, they decided to test their endurance by taking cold bath together.

Cold bath improves emotional resilience, reduces stress, increases alertness and in sports it’s used in therapy to speed up recovery; the reason why world best football player Cristiano Ronaldo always takes ice baths at 3am.

Julie Gichuru and her husband Anthony Gichuru also decided to try the ice bath therapy. The two lovebirds stripped down to boxer and bikini before they got in a special bathtub which had freezing water and ice.

The former Citizen TV anchor claimed her hubby and her stayed in the freezing bathtub for a record 25 minutes. She cautioned her fans against trying it without professional advice.

“Ice bath #Brrrrrrr #Us ? Mr G can go up to one hour ??? I am up to 25 minutes. (please don’t try it without professional advice),” Julie Gichuru wrote.
