Why do we shiver..?

One thing about the rains... they are awesome.. the greenery looks amazing with new sprouted leaves. We went for tea, walking all the way in rain, jumping the flowing water. It's cold and i started shivering. And I started thinking about it..

We can decrease the heat loss from our body by bringing our hands and legs close by reducing the surface area. But beyond that..? that's where shivering could help. I think shivering is like minuscule exercise. This generates some heat inside the body.
