Wim Hof! Is amazing.
In terms of his charisma, and some of the things he teaches/has discovered.
He demonstrates his breathing technique with Joe.
Wim Hof Breathing Technique
This involves breathing in, as deeply as possible, and breathing out-but just letting go
So you breathe in, more than you breathe out.
After 30 breaths, hold your breath for as long as possible. Then after you breathe out, breathe in once more and hold for ten seconds.
You have just done 1 round!
Complete for 3 if possible
The aim of the breathing is to oxygenate the blood, and increase pH.
The ‘Wim Hof Technique’- involves cold-therapy.
I believe the process/course looks like this:
week 1 – 30 second cold showers at the end of a normal shower
week 2 – 30 seconds cold at the start, and then at the end
Week 3 – 1 minute at the start and at the end
Week 4 – 5 minutes
Week 5 – 7 minutes cold shower
Week 6 – 10 minutes
To get the exact specifications, you need to sign up for Wim’s course. Unfortunately. Guy’s gotta make a living tho.
There’s a good week by week diary here though – http://www.timvandervliet.com/wim-hof-method-week-5-recap-week-4/
I’ve been doing cold showers and breathing techniques every morning now.
I’ve also starting drinking a small amount of baking soda in water to further alkalise the body.
There’s a tonic you can make with Apple Cider Vinegar and a pinch of baking soda here.
- A glass of warm or hot water, because cold water could be harmful to the liver.
- A tablespoon of apple cider vinegar.
- A pinch of baking soda
