I got off the bus from Penang about an hour agoand I am back in Thailand again with a fresh 60 day tourist visa.
It is pretty late already so I just did the breathing.
Tomorrow I will start with week 6 but today I did not feel like watching a video
Round 2 : 1 min 07.27sec
Round 3 : 1 min 11.67sec
Round 4 : 1 min 09.39sec
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.
Vor etwa einer Stunde bin ich wieder in Thailand angekommen mit einem neuem 60 Tage Visum.
Es ist schon rcht spät und ich hatte keine Lust mehr mir noch das Video für Woche 6 anzuschauen weshalb ich erst morgen mit Woche 6 anfange.
Runde 2 : 1min 07.27sek
Runde 3 : 1min 11.67sek
Runde 4 : 1min 09.39sek
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.
The cold picture looks sick

oh, I see. Some cameras have HDR function that basically allows making a more even image, without too bright or too dark areas, and this photo looked a bit like that :)

Du bist zu beneiden! Alles Gute in Thailand!
Wollte kurz Bericht erstatten, dass ich seit dem letzten Kontakt nahezu jeden Tag am Ende der Dusche den Regler komplett auf kalt stelle und es tut mit jedem Mal richtig gut! Die Angst davor ist nahezu komplett weg. Auch wenn der Respekt noch da ist. Ich zähle immer noch 1-2-3 bevor ich mich 15-20 Sekunden da drunter stelle.
Deine Übungen werde ich demnächst angehen.
Danke dir!

Super! Weiter so!
Ich finde es nach den Atemübungen geht es nochmal leichter.
Und das mit dem runter zählen mache ich auch immer noch ;-) vor allem beim Eisbad beim Duschen nicht so sehr da die Dusche selten wirklich kalt ist, da es in Thailand halt nie wirklich kalt ist :-)

Hi @flipstar would you like a personalized emoji like my one. It's free to my frequent supporters such as you.
All I need to know is which country flag/flags you want. If more than one then which one will be the one you would like to be shown first etc.

Hi Flipstar I've spent hours googling an ice cube and haven't found a suitable free one to use. It would be a great help if you sent me one that you liked and I will do the rest.

Guter Fortschritt. Ich habe es geschafft, wieder mit den kalten Duschen anzufangen nach längerer Pause. Glücklicherweise ging es total leicht. Das scheint sich der Körper gemerkt zu haben. 👍

ahhh no worries! It's a weird thing, people don't believe me because it sounds bizarre to get an allergic reaction from the cold. BUT, I would love to get rid of it if I could. I want to be able to swim in a cold river all day with all the other kiddos! hehe. Well allergy pills work for now. :)
