I'm doing the Wim Hof Method again!

in fitness •  6 years ago 

This was my workout spot yesterday. :)


Today I had a nice mile run to the gym, worked out a bit, and did my Wym Hof breathing, meditation, stretches, headstand, backbend, cold shower and more. The funny thing is, the cold shower doesn't work all that well here because it's always so warm!

I have no complaints though. Since moving to Puerto Rico, I've been loving the opportunity to exercise and meditate in this beautiful climate. Here's a short little video from our neighborhood I took a couple days ago (I was wet because part of my run involved rain):

The other day I tried my first ice bath, but I put in the ice too quickly, and it melted before I could fill up the tub. Heheh.

As you can see here, I've been consistent so far every day:

I have to be careful with the headstands/backbends though. Today I almost lost my gate key:

Cool to see the results you are having with. Wim Hof is a really well known Dutchy dude who is doing super good in spreading his knowledge currently with his ice bath seminars. Breathing is key, and damn we forget it so often!

When you are around in Holland do take one of those seminars for the extra deal! And heheh I am familiar with the amount of ice that would need to chill your tub...the caribbean water that comes out of the pipes will need looooads of ice before it is really really cold haha

Thanks for that Luke, I was just about to call it a night and now I'm going to spend the next hour or so googling Wim Hof and reading. I'd really never heard of this before, if there is any mention of getting enough sleep, I am already an epic failure due to your good self!
But seriously, isn't this why Steem is so bloody brilliant, and the reason I joined up because there is such diversity in subject matter and opinion here!
Best wishes to you and your family fella :-)

I've been thinking of doing this. recommend?

Only if it works for you. :)

Everyone is different. Trying something new just to try it out is usually worth, ya know, trying. :)

The iPhone app is a good place to start. It has videos explaining things and such. You don't even have to pay for the full thing (which is only $1.99).

f yeah brathaaaa!!! resteemed, ofc ;)
