Brief Deliberate Cold Exposure Could Aid in Weight Loss
A new study explored the impact of brief deliberate cold exposure, both through immersion in cold water and cold showers, on weight loss. The study found that just two minutes of water immersion and 30 seconds of cold shower exposure, five times a week, led to substantial fat loss, especially around the abdomen.

Summary
Cold exposure, whether via cold showers or immersing the body up to the neck in cold or ice water, can block some of the strength and hypertrophy gains from training for up to 4-6 hours post-exposure. The effects vary depending on the temperature and duration of the cold exposure.
