My favourite procedure right now is to warm up briefly and then finish off with cold water for about 5 minutes. Wim holds 26 world records, and has numerous. Because both hot and cold showers have their advantages. This method has been the first to scientifically prove the ability to actively influence the innate immune system and the autonomic nervous system. A few weeks ago, towards the end of my final (4th) round (sitting) the doorbell rang. Im a 47 year old athlete and have never fainted in my life. Recently I had the realization that there is no need for black and white thinking. Wim is an extreme athlete from the Netherlands, and his extensive training enables him to control his breathing rate and blood circulation and to withstand extreme temperatures. I was fairly new to the practice (few weeks in) and was not respecting the power of breath retentions. Hof’s ability to withstand long exposure to cold has been researched and is partially explained because he has.
The cold exposure is the most visible part of the method, especially when people step into bathtubs filled with ice cubes.
Before this challange I was sick about 2-3 times a year! That was my major motivation to start taking cold showers, because being sick very often disturbed my fitness ambitions. The Wim Hof Method is a combination of three things: exposure to cold, breathing techniques and meditation. I've been sick once in the last two years. However, in the first place, you get sick extremely rarely and in the second place you recover more quickly.
