But to be honest I am not sure where I should start now.
Just pick up where I left? Go back 1 or 2 weeks? Start the whole course over?
Today I just did 3 rounds of breathing the push ups and took a cold shower for 5 minutes. Since it is raining like crazy the last days the shower was really cold.
My times and push-ups went down a lot but this was expected but the feeling of beeing charged was fully there again which I enjoyed a lot.
Round 2 : 51.82 sec
Round 3 : 1min 01.33 sec
43 push-ups
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.
I just read a bit about wim Hof, he is like a Dutch real life Chuck Norris! How long can you stay in ice water ?

That is very impressive. What about the first time you tried, approximately how long could you stay in ? I wonder if I could last 30 seconds ...

I started with cold showers and 30 seconds were hard.
My first ice bath I did not time but I guess something around 1 minute or so.

I have known about Wim Hof for a long time, being a Dutch guy, it's pretty hard to not have heard him being mentioned somewhere. At some point I started to look him up, listen to his Joe Rogan episode and I through this podcast I was introduced to this breathing technique and since then I have been doing the breathing for 3 rounds and then 2 rounds of pushups for quite a while and I must say, it is amazing.
Just like Steemit, I just dropped the breathing exercises for a long while, for some reason. Actually I dropped them without any reason. It was just laziness, a disease that holds us back from the infinite potential each and every one of us has.

yes, I have bought his course around 2 years now ago I think and made it into week 4. Then I dropped it and jst kept doing the breathing like 2 or 3 times a week.
This was actually the reason to open this diary ere. To keep going and hold my self somewhat accoutnable. Since I feel so much better doing it regular.

I would suggest starting with cold showers first and leave out the head.
30 seconds are fine to start. For myself it feels way easier after I have done the breathing.
Beware dont do the breathing while in water.
There is a great documentary on youtube from vice about wim hof. Also some videos where he is guiding people through the breathing.
