Jade admitted in her post caption: “I’m terrible with cold (I don’t sleep with air-conditioning and don’t actually even need a fan most nights in Singapore), and get grouchy on winter trips (unless snowboarding) or when too cold in air-conditioned spaces, so this was really a stretch for me.” 

She added: “To be really honest, I don’t know what that actually meant, but as a sportsperson and someone veering a little type A, I set a goal, and it was to stay in that ice for 2.5 minutes, the recommended time to get the benefits of ice bathing.”

She encouraged everyone to try it as well and declared that she slept like a baby afterwards.

One IG user stated: “I find this so hard. Good job! I can barely get through a cold shower”, which gained a reply from Jade saying: “I literally never do cold showers, girl! Even on the hottest days. Hahaha this was mad out of my comfort zone.”
