Excellent, warm shower first, then turn it cold. Get your arms and legs covered then move to shoulders etc before the whole body.
Wim hof says start at 20s and add 5s a day till you can do a few minutes.
For the breathing to control it better, breath out as you get in the cold. Also doubling the exhale to inhale time can help as a focus until you get used to it. Then you don’t need to think about it
I used the do this but for some reason this time I just got in the cold then had a warm shower. Did my legs then head and then just got under. I’m sure I can get much better at this lol. Back and backs of arms is harsh and this was on a hot day haha.
You will get better within a few weeks you will stop feeling it as cold and your body will cope without issue.
My problem was my head, I could get my whole body under but my head just gave me pins and needles. Took a few weeks of very gradually upping the time from a few seconds up, until it was fine like the rest of the body.
“Icing the area for 30-60 minutes a day for a few months may increase sperm count by up to approximately 100%. This has become common enough where there are products that you can purchase to aid in this process.”
I’ve been feeling nauseous and have had a number of hot flushes just from reading this thread. I’m pregnant! I have an expensive lifestyle and expect to be kept in the manor to which I have become accustomed.
They are all discussing this on the wimhof groups this morning now. Does seem to be that she pushed it too far too early, it’s why I started with the cold showers first.
This lady who is in to wimhof seems to be doing alright
Personally I’m now moving away from wimhof the brand as everything has gone money related. You have to pay for the app now, the courses are stupid money and yet always on sale. Doesn’t appeal. The breathing and cold work are great though and wim put them out in an easy to understand way.
So I can’t see myself stopping anytime soon, just won’t be using their apps/products.
Maybe that other woman didn’t do the breathing. I haven’t been and this morning I got in the shower before getting it hot, I managed my feet and when I got under on my back I was like fuck this
I think the breathing should come first so that it’s what you do in the cold. Maybe she did though, I don’t know.
