The one where Courteney Cox cooled off.
The Friends alum recently shared a carousel of photos and videos on Instagram, including a candid look at her latest wellness practice: Taking an icy cold plunge. In the Feb. 5 post, Courteney donned an itty-bitty blue string bikini before dipping into the water.
Although the 59-year-old didn't post footage of herself once she did the cold plunge, she wanted to know if wetsuit booties were acceptable to wear. "Is this cheating," she said, pointing to the socks in the short clip, "'cause your feet get really f--king cold."
A cold plunge is exactly what it sounds like—a dip into an ice bath or ice water. This practice is often used to help relieve muscle pain and reduce inflammation, according to Cleveland Clinic.
Naturally, Courteney's fans reassured her in the comments section, with one Instagram user writing, "It's not cheating! I do it too!!!!"
Another follower replied, "My feet are always really cold...i think i need to invest in whatever those sock things are," while someone else added, "Body goals."

And although the Scream star's wellness practice may have seemed extreme, she's no stranger to experimenting with treatments.
Last year, she opened up about her past experience with facial fillers and how she felt pressured to look more youthful.
"Thinking I was getting older when I was really young, that's just a bummer, a waste of time," Courteney said in March 2023 on the Gloss Angeles podcast. "It's a domino effect, it's like you don't realize that you look a little off, so then you keep doing more 'cause you look normal to yourself."
She continued, "You look in the mirror and go, 'Oh, that looks good,' and you don't realize what it looks like to the outside."
Courteney explained that once she realized she went too far, she stopped getting the cosmetic injectables.
"Thank god they are removable," she noted. "I think I messed up a lot and now, luckily, I was able to reverse most of that. Now, I'm actually just older."
Courteney isn't the only celebrity to share insight into her beauty treatments. Keep reading to see all of the procedures and practices other stars practice.

"I was going to this strip mall in Chicago in the back…Everybody was like, 'You are a nut job.'...I'm telling you, I wasn't exactly in the best frame of mind, and I would smoke a bunch of joints and have some drinks and I would be like, 'Oh, let's go see my girl' and we would drive to this strip mall and I would get shot up with a bunch of whatever, Juvéderm, and then leave."
She continued, "Now all the stuff is gone. Before I shot the 'Applause' video, [a photographer friend] was like, 'Gaga, I love you but if you don't stop injecting s--t in your face I'm going to just kill you.'"
