Shape Up: Tuesday's Tip #13


There's nothing like holding a solid, hard icepack to your throbbing ankle or hurting head  - in those scenarios, a bag of frozen veggies seems the better alternative to trying to balance a block of ice on yourself! But I found an even better alternative while searching the World Wide Web. How to make your own shapeable icepack:

- Mix 1 part rubbing alcohol with 3 parts water in a ziploc bag and put in the freezer. 
(The alcohol will prevent the water from freezing completely.)
- When it’s frozen, wrap with a towel or cloth of some sort and apply.


Now, relax while you R.I.C.E (rest, ice, compress, elevate) away your injury!
