During the video, Coach Prime's youngest child, daughter Shelomi Sanders, 21, tried to coax the NFL Hall of Famer into an ice bath on the family's patio outside their Texas ranch.
Wearing a pair of grey sweat shorts and a red hoodie with a money symbol on the front, Deion was hesitant to get in at first, but eventually climbed into the ice-cold bathtub.
He stayed in the water for about 30 seconds before jumping out and telling his daughter that it's too cold and he needs "toe covers."
He then told his daughter, "You know I'm still going through something."
"I aint all the way recovered," he added.
Despite whatever medical condition Deion's battling, he was still very active and remained in good spirits during the video with his kids.
