I read the Eye of Revelation as saying one should not chill the body *right after* the workout, during the shower (if one chose to take one then) - not "at all, ever". As one of the hot-then-cold-water-is-awesome types, should I avoid the Five Rites entirely, then, and do something else? I rather liked them, and though I took a frigid shower in the morning and did the five rites in the afternoon, I can't say anything felt amiss. Then again, they didn't feel "significantly different" either, and the two may indeed have been cancelling each other out. I don't know. For me, the cold water is more important than the Five Rites, so I'll happily substitute the Judson exercises and a decent ordinary workout, or something else, if that's useful, but if it is indeed simply a matter of sequence and timing, I'd like to continue the Five Rites if it's not counterproductive.
