I immediately understood my friend’s enthusiasm for freezing morning swims in the ocean just out his front door. Wim Hof Training & Day Three ResultsĪfter our second breathing session, my friend sat us down to watch the 40 minute VICE documentary on Wim Hof. So holding with the lungs on the empty side is very important! Otherwise it may be harder to enter a deep state of hypoventilation. *I learned from this amazing book on breathing that a huge part of the benefits of Wim Hof breathing come from the hypoventilation (underbreathing for this short stretch).
While holding, I also felt like someone had rubbed menthol inside my skin – this amazing, cool, tingling feeling. I didn’t feel like I needed to breathe at all. I discovered, to my great surprise, that holding was effortless. I felt dizzy at the end of each of my 30-40 breaths in. fully exhale, squeeze every last drop of air from the body.breathe deeply in and hold 10-15 seconds.When we released the air from our lungs, we were supposed to breathe out until we couldn’t breathe out anymore, squeezing every last morsel of air from our bodies. Once we could no longer resist inhaling, we were to inhale deeply and hold the fresh air in our lungs for 10 – 15 seconds. On the final exhale, we were to breathe comfortably out and then try not to inhale for as long as possible. He told us to breathe in deeply and exhale quickly 30- 40 times. I originally heard about it from a friend I went to visit who told me (in his cute Australian way) that he’d been spending time doing “ a breathing technique that’s from a guy called Wim Hof and I have found it to be really really responsive for improving myself.” My First Time Wim Hof BreathingĪ few days into our visit, I found myself sitting a hundred yards from the ocean on a warm, breezy Australian afternoon while kind of hyperventilating with my friend and a few of his neighbors. Just the basics I could learn from reading about it on the internet.
Like any self-experimenter worth their salt, I couldn’t wait to give the Wim Hof methoda try.
