NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Have you heard of those trendy post-workout ice bath tubs? Well, one man took the opportunity to DIY with all the snow Friday.
We found Cody Eckman cooling off in a frigid Percy Priest Lake in Donelson — and enjoying every minute of it.
By day, Cody is a maintenance tech at Nashville International Airport. But by snow day, Cody says there’s no better place to be than in the middle of Percy Priest Lake.
Cody says he's a fitness guy, who doesn't have one of those trendy cold plunge tubs; on a day like today, he doesn’t need one.
And safe to say, before you try something like this, you'd probably want to get your doctor's advice first. But for the rest of us these next few days, Cody has some advice of his own.
“Go outside, be in the snow, have fun, don't be inside on your phones the whole time,” Cody said.
Cody says with more wintery conditions in the forecast, he'll be back out again.
This is a story I immediately went home and showed my boys - young athletes with big dreams. The Vanderbilt football team's success has stolen the spotlight - what I love about Steve Layman's story is he reveals the individual hardships it took to get there. As Clark Lea says, "we all have scuff marks." This team proves perseverance pays off!
