LeBron James posts IG story taking a cold plunge before taking part in “festivities”

What has allowed LA Lakers forward LeBron James to maintain his superstar status is his dedication to remaining healthy. He employs a strict regimen for keeping his body in tip-top shape, and it seems this isn’t limited to game days as seen in his latest Instagram story.

The four-time champion took the time to go for a “Cold Plunge” as seen in his story, but it wasn’t to get ready for a game as the Lakers aren’t scheduled to play. Instead, he did it before “festivities,” which can be assumed as something he was doing before partaking in the St. Patrick’s Day celebrations.

Taking a dip in cold water or taking an ice bath can help athletes in a practice that helps in recovery. Anyone who participates in workouts or strenuous activities can take an ice bath to reduce muscle soreness.

This practice has been a mainstay for athletes for years and has been a regular part of LeBron’s routine. This isn’t the first time that fans have seen him do it as he has posted himself taking ice baths before.

After his ice bath, he posted a follow-up story showing he and his wife, Savannah, presumably on the way to the festivities he referred to.
