We all embraced the snow during Storm Emma - we made snow angels, snowmen, igloos, and some of us even went for a jog in the white stuff.

But did you run naked?! We're guessing the answer to that question is a resounding 'no', right?

Well, perhaps you should have as a Ukrainian woman is making headlines due to her claims that jogging naked in the snow is the secret to looking young.

Inna Vladimirskaya says that for the past nine years she's been running and swimming in sub-zero conditions.

Every weekend, the 32 year old’s strips off on the banks of the Dnieper river in Kiev.

Speaking to the Metro, Inna said: "Every week I take a run in the snow and then plunge into the water. Immersion in cold water makes the blood rush to the internal organs, activating their circulation, which helps break down fat and improve muscle tone."

"The walrus looks much younger than its actual age, because it spends so much time in cold water. Humans can reap the same benefits if they are prepared to put the hard work in. I just make sure I don’t stay in the water too long, and as soon as I am out I dry myself and go straight to my warm car."

There's a status yellow cold weather warning in place for Leinster, Cavan, Monaghan and Waterford this weekend...will you be stripping off?!
