After feeling a bit fatigued, I decided to have a day off yesterday.
I had to be in the bar pretty earlier to get a place to watch the fight this morning, so I just finished my excercises a couple minutes ago.
Round 2 : 1 min 11.89 sec
Round 3 : 1 min 12.09 sec
Round 4 : 1 min 14.32 sec
I actually planned to get into week 6 today but I will be gone for 2 days and spend a lot of time in a bus, so I will jump into week 6 on wednsday.
For new readers I want to explain what I am actually doing here: The Wim Hof Method consists of 3 pillars
breathing : you breathe in very deeply and exhale. But you dont exhale all the air so you kind of "charge" yourself. You do 30-40 breathe cycles and then exhale all the air out in your lunge and withhold your breath as long as possible.
cold exposure: you start taking showers or jump into an ice bath and the lenght is increasing as you progress through the course
some physical excercise : mostly some Yoga but also push-ups. What is special about the push-ups is, that you do one breahting round before them and also exhale, so you do the push ups with an empty lung.
The pictures usually show Wim Hof himself.
Gestern habe ich frei gemacht, da ich mich etwas erschöpft gefühlt hatte.
Da ich einen Sitzplatz für den Kampf heute haben wollte, bin ich heute etwas früher aufgestanden und habe meine Übungen eben erst beendet.
Runde 2 : 1 min 11.89 sek
Runde 3 : 1 min 12.09 sek
Runde 4 : 1 min 14.32 sek
Eigentlich wollte ich heute mit Woche 6 anfangen. Ich verbringe allerdings die nächsten 2 Tage viel Zeit in einem Bus, daher habe ich das auf Mitwoche verschoben.
Für neue Leser möchte ich kurz zusammenfassen um was es hier überhaupt geht: Die Wim Hof Methode setzt sich aus 3 Pfeilern zusammen.
Atmung : Man atmet tief ein aber nicht ganz wieder aus. So "lädt man sich auf". Dies macht man 30-40 Atemrunden. Bei der letzten atmet man alles aus und hält die Luft solange wie möglich an, also auf leere Lunge.
Kälte : Man fängt an mit kurzen kalten Duschen ( 30 Sekunden). Die Zeit verlängert sich je weiter man im Kurs schreitet.
Sport : Vor allem sind es ein paar Yoga-Übungen und Liegestütze. Bei den Liegestützen ist anzumerken, das man davor auch eine Runde der Atemübungen macht und die Liegstütze auf leere Lunge durchführt.
Die Bilder zeigen normalerweise nicht mich, sondern Wim Hof.

Full 100% and resteemed :-)

Thats Nice ! So i am guessing you have spent many years in Thailand ! Where in Thailand do you like it the best ?

No, I was living in germany for the most part but traveled to thailand a couple of times to train.
For training phuket is imo the best place you can go.

Haha yea the number of chinese tourists really have increased a lot in Thailand. The first time I went to Thailand I went with my family and we went to KATA beach. I remember there being so many Swedish people. Some of the tailors there even could speak some Swedish with me. Last time I went there though it was a lot of Chinese as well

Das klingt sehr interessant - ich verfolge es nicht von Anfang an, kannst du mir kurz erklären, wofür das gut ist?

Beworben wird es mit nie wieder krank sein und mehr Gesundheit und Kontrolle über sich selbst.
Krank war ich jedoch schon also das stimmt so nicht ganz :-)
Jedoch habe ich das Gefühl das ich schon gesünder bin und etwas weniger anfällig.
Meine Laune ist auf jeden Fall besser.
Was mich allerdings am meisten bei der Stange hält ist das Gefühl der Kontrolle und der wachsenden Willenskraft.
Kontrolle des Geistes über den Körper. Die Atemübungne haben auch eine sehr meditative Wirkung auf mich.
Die Reportage über Wim Hof ist sehr intressant und ich kann sie nur empfehlen, da wird alles etwas besser erklärt.

wow, that's so impressive, @flipstar! Was it hard to start doing cold exposure?

Yes and no.
The first couple of seconds were hard but then you get used to it.
But even after over 3 months I have days were I find it extremly hard to get started but always happy if I did it.

I can't believe this guy! He even climbed Mount Everest in only shorts! I gotta try that too and see what changes :) Do you feel any different?
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
Yes, but to be fair I had a lot of positive lifestyle changes also in the last couple of months.
So I cant tie all to his method.
But most of the time I feel very good, especially after the breathing.
If you havent I can only recomned giving it a try for a month or so.
