Michael Phelps has been considered a beast in the history of Olympic swimming. In his time in the pool, the 23-time Olympic gold medalist has accomplished everything. He has created dazzling world records with his remarkable victories. However, the legendary figure retired in 2016, making his fans downhearted.

However, from time to time, he has surprised his admirers with his incredible workouts. This time he has garnished his workout regime with lots of crushed ice to bring the best version of himself. Undoubtedly, being the greatest swimmer of all time needs a balanced amount of dedication and workout plans. While even after seven years of retirement, he has shown dedication to making his body fit.

Michael Phelps’ ice bath routine

Recently, a Twitter handle named PGA Tour shared a video of Michael with professional golfer Justin Thomas. They discussed the fastest ways to recover after a competition. The Baltimore bullet can be seen filling the huge tubs with ice. The video was captioned, “Compete like a pro, Recover like a pro @JustinThomas34 and @MichaelPhelps discuss recovery routines with a post-round ice bath.”

In the video, Phelps described how icy baths are the easiest way to recover, benefiting the muscles. He said, “Now that I’m retired, I still do this all the time. I think this is one of the best and easiest ways to recover, and it’s so good for your muscles.” Michael added, “Came out a little faster than I thought. (pouring the ice) I guess I’ll fill the rest in mine.”

As they both jumped into the tub and started shivering, the Olympic gold medalist added, “For me, I have to workout every single day. So if I’m lifting three days a week, or cardio four days a week, that’s me being my best self.”
