Wim Hof method
Wim Hof History
Wim Hof lived and experienced the element to become more aware of the body and mind. Nature has always been his teacher. He found that breathing, as well as overall mindset, works more efficiently under extreme weather conditions which, in turn, results in I greater endurance. Throughout the years, Wim has further designed and perfected his techniques by consistently expanding his boundaries. His stunts landed him a great deal of exposure and the nickname “The Iceman”, holder of numerous Guinness World Records, including:
• Climbing Mount Everest past death zone (7500 meters) wearing nothing but shorts and shoes.
• Completing a full marathon in temperatures close to -20C above the polar circle in Finland
• Taking the longest ice bath (1 hour 53 minutes)
• Running a full marathon in the desert of Namibia without drinking
Everything changed when the method was put under scientific scrutiny. There has been scientific breakthrough after scientific breakthrough to discover not only can Wim influence his body and mind in ways we never thought were possible, that in fact, with dedication anyone could benefit from this method and has formed a simplistic and structured method accessible to everyone of us, known as the Wim Hof Method (WHM).
It’s super important when practicing we distinguish between Wim and his capabilities and the Wim Hof method. They should not be compared and no one should try and attempt what Wim does. It’s supposed to be fun, but lets make sure we all play safe.
If you want to take a closer look at the science, I often post updates in my newsletter but the Wim Hof Method website is a great resource
