I was a child of many abuses. I get depressed very often, and I already wanted to kill myself, but your technique saved my life. I never thought that ice would take away so much pain and thank you and God. I personally thank you, Angel.

Heyy👋🏼 same here and recovering with his breathing method every morning before I get up plus trying to get friendly with ice cold water❤ bless you❤
I just did 5 second increments at the very beginning. 5 seconds of all cold. Each day I told myself, "surely you can last 5 more seconds". Now I do 6 minutes plus with no problem now. Wim is the man!

I have been trying 1 to 2 mins of cold showers at the end of my routine ... I have to say my body has adapted nicely over the past year of doing this and over the course of summer in Finland I was the only one to be able to easily swim in the really chilling lakes (even in summer) while my friends called me a crazy ... and last time I manged a good 1 hour of swimming and relaxing alrough I was numb after a few mins lol ... Thanks Wim for sharing this with me
Peace and love Wim. To you and your family. You will never appreciate the full implications of your discoveries because science is finding more and more health benefits every day!
It only took a couple of days to get to 2 minutes for the cold shower. The pool water is very cool now, and I do not have issue staying there for no less than one hour. I can feel the sun on one side on the raft and then I turn to the other side and repeat. This is so wonderful and I know I can do this because of Wim, thank you.

I've been doing 4-6 min freezing cold showers almost every morning for a month and can't wait to take it to the next level! Now to incorporate the breathing method before!

Im at the cold shower part. I do 5mins.......i dont have a tub setup for ice baths yet but I will!!!!
Breath & just chill M.F'r!
I need to start with ice baths.
Hello! Do I always have to start with a warm shower before taking a cold shower? I have been taking a cold shower for two weeks without using a warm shower for 2 minutes straight.
What do you think about face plunging
I never do cold showers and I started with the cold plunge right away , you just do it

@WimHof1 how cold does the ice bath need to be for your first one (I'm also younger so will it need to be warmer?)
To the ones struggling with cold plunges, i found a hack! I tried go straight to cold showers and it shocked my system so bad, i thought i m gonna have a heart attack, couldnt to it... I was thinking, your body has to acclimate to the cold, so then i went outside our backyard, being winter, its like -1/-5 outside and its like a slo mo getting used to the cold, in shorts for 10 minutes, then straight hopped in the shower, tap water is like 10 degree celsius and it was a walk in the park compared to going straight, no prep work. So try it this way, being outside in cold air, or perhaps empty cold freezer and get your body acclimated to it for a couple of minutes, then the cold plunge. Stay icy!
So for ice bathing you basically do the WHM but backwards? Like when you do the breathing as wim says you breathe in fully and then let go not all the way out just fully in let go for the end and so on... So with the ice bath you do fully out and normal breath in??
Where can we buy good quality bags for ice baths? Thank you!! Wim hof you are the best..I do breathing and cold showers for more than 6 months❤

How do you feel doing the breathing and cold showers? Just started his method
What's longest? I reach point where over 10min is very comfortable for me. Feeling relaxed, comfortable.. but worried is there damage I can do by overstaying. If I felt too cold would get out but I don't
😂😂😂😂😂😂 T as oublié de rappeler ton RIB

If I ever needed to jump off of a mountain into a lake I would like to know wim Hoff was up for it 😂
Every day cold shower 2min end briading ❤🙏
At what temperature
i dont like cold showers just bought i icebath first time 4 degrees celcius 7 min and day after 5 min breathing is normal no problems with it
Two minutes actually goes by fast
Currently sitting in a bath and adding ice wanna see what eould happen
Might be worth it if you’re doing the polar plunge. Other than that… not necessary
How cold should the shower be? Like normal cold or full Blown as cold as it can Go?

Cold showers are the worst, cold lake or ice bath is much easier to control the mind. Save cold showers for when you need an ultra challenge. Even cold hikes up mountains is easier than a cold shower lol.

You have to just do it. You stand there looking at the cold shower pouring down then you mentally tell yourself to just go in. No backing out and then long out breathes. You will adapt. It will get easier.

I think that it is because you have to pay attention to standing up when in a cold shower where as in an ice bath you can totally focus on your body and breathing.

Cold showers while repeating Outloud “ I love cold water on my neck, I love cold water on my neck…” repeat that phrase four times. By the fourth time the body believes it to be true. And embraces the cold. I’m 120 lbs and 78 yrs old. Preparing for the cold water plunge.
I STAY 15 MIN IN ICE BATH BUT AFTER THAT I need 1 hour and 30 min to regulate my body temperature and warm my body

You should get started on fruit only. More healing an more effective at everything wim hof method does. But way easier haha 😂 ive been fruit only for years an i have no latic threshold. I dont need the wim hof method anymore an i never get tired. Always infinite. I can easily hold my breath for 10 mins without any rounds of this technique. Sure i used to use it. But theres such a thing called eating your species specific diet. An you wouldnt believe the power. Im like golden freeza. Lmao 🤣 how the body was meant to function. I feel like that guy from ong-bak. Literally unstoppable

I can go into a lake in winter or submerge myself in a cold tub, but cold showers? Never ! 🫣
