Kristen Bellis feeling frozen with cryotherapy!
In anInstagram Storyshared on Wednesday, the 40-year-old actress gave the popular treatment a try at Pause Studio in Los Angeles on Thursday. Bell showed off her abs in a lavender bikini, bundling up in a white headband, face mask, mittens, socks and slippers for her session.
TheGood Placestar seemed to be a bit apprehensive before entering the -169 degree chamber, but husbandDax Shepardcracked her up before she braved the cold.
“You look like a Bond villain girl? One of the two,” the 46-year-old actor said behind the camera. “Like, you’re in Sweden skiing after James, but for some reason you’re in a bathing suit and wearing your mittens?”

Bell laughed, and jumped around like she was skiing, captioning the Instagram Story with the text “cryo character work.”
“Typical babe in an action movie,” she joked. “We don’t need no armor.”
Dancing during her session in the subzero chamber, playfully captioning the clip “I’m only here for the health benefits,” theFrozenstar effortlessly exited when her time was up.
“I think I’m ready to graduate to intermediate,” she told Shepard with a smile.
Cryotherapy is an increasingly popular treatment in which patients expose their bodies to sub-freezing temperatures, according toMedical News Today. Its benefits include pain relief, muscle healing, weight loss, reduced inflammation, reducing anxiety and depression, among others.
“I said, ‘I really would like to experience this. And I don’t want to, I’m not going to party with it, but I want to know what this feels like. And I want to talk while I’m doing it, and I want you to talk to me,'” she revealed on theHypochondriactorpodcast in May. “And he [Shepard] took me on a walk around the neighborhood and it was so lovely.”
Vocal about how therapy keeps their marriage strong, the couple – who share daughters Lincoln, 8, and Delta, 6 – had a “little therapy brush-up” in at the start of the pandemic in 2020, which theHello Belloco-founders found “incredibly helpful.”
“We’ve learned everything about each other because we haven’t been able to leave!” Bell toldPEOPLE. “The main thing I’ve learned is something Ilearned from Glennon Doyle, which is that we just need to give each other grace under circumstances.”

In a difficult year, “everyone’s proclivities are kind of bubbling over because we’re all caged in with each other,” she continued. “Dax and I, when we started this pandemic, were at a point in our marriage where we definitelyneeded a little therapy brush-up.”
Vocal about the benefits of therapy, the actress added that putting the work into their marriagehas been crucialto their success as a couple.
“Every couple of years, we’re like, ‘We’re being very antagonistic towards each other,’ and we don’t want that,” she says. “We go back to therapy and figure out what I’m not doing that’s best for you and what you’re not doing that’s best for me, and how we can serve this team goal better. It’sbeen incredibly helpful.”
