My showers in Canada are getting colder! Thanks Wim, healing cancer naturally and doing great! Did my first Polar Plunge Jan 1 2020, Jan 30 they gave me 6 months.. I am still here, NO DRUGS NO SURGERY!! Universe is there for me..
Wow!!! Thank you for sharing ✨🙏💖

You have the power of the Universe within you! Go Norma!!! Thank you for having the courage to take a different path than drugs and surgery. Blessings to you
I’m so proud of you thank you for being such a positive person and example for others. You’re doing fantastic keep it up ❤️❤️💯
Wim Hof saved my well-being, this time last year I was at the lowest point in my life suicidal, mental health issues ect but I’ve been doing the method for just under a year and it’s the greatest thing I’ve discovered!
Thankyou Wim. 🥳
Just listen to x and talk with everyone
I meant xxxtentacion
stay strong !
@@sandudeedits2950 that stupid music isn't gonna bring u anywhere
Could you expand, Mykael? What have the benefits been?
First thing. Not thinking. I raise in the morning, and immediately cold shower. Not thinking, no hesitation, no procrastination, go!
Two minutes plus. Woke up and fully alive!
Te amo Wim hof, pero uffff , con el invierno le di a la pausa, pero con tus palabras, le doy al play. ( mientas lo escribo me encojo) jjj
Pensaré en tin💚😘❤️
Same. Great way to start the day and I can say such a simple thing as a cold shower changes my outlook on the day, completely
Lol I don't want to be that awake . But I will try 🙂
Do you just immediately go into a cold shower on rising or do you have a warm shower first and then finish with a 2 minute cold shower?
@@greenkitty82 I found that its easier to jump right into the cold in the morning. If I start with a hot shower, my brain can't stop trying to cancel the cold shower because it's too comfortable in the hot water.
"the cold is your warm friend" - wim, best line ever
"Let the winter be your summer." Powerful words! And a great idea. So I moved from Europe to Australia...
I realized that my anxiety is like cold water (it causes stress on my body) so I started to perceive anxiety as something external to me, and when I feel it I imagine it's just cold water...this helps me to don't identify me with my anxiety which therefore disappears quickly! I can handle it like a cold shower..hope this is helpful for someone else :)
Be Water, my Friend! 😊
@@RyanONeill86 Bruce lee
I have a personal opinion on the cold water. I think only those of us, addicted to endorphins or something like that, will do the cold water daily. I have been an amateur endurance athlete my whole life, and I’m 62, and I just can’t do the things I used to. Knees and hips and shoulders hurt. But I can ride the exercise bike and do the breathing exercises, and cold shower or plunge. I like the plunge better than the shower. The shower never hits all the body at once. Also people battling anxiety, depression, and mental illness will be regulars. But to try to get normal, happy people to do it, good luck! I think the sooner we all admit we are an odd bunch, in a good way. The more we can understand each other, and the reason we do this. We are people trying to get high on our own supply. And we probably make up very few of the overall population. Thanks Wim I’m going in the cold plunge now, right after I’m done with the breathing exercises. Then I will either ride the bike or swim. I have been doing the w h m twice daily for 2 months now, I like it so much. It was once a day but I wanted more!
Just another day of trying to get high on my own supply, for over 55 years.
P s .. this is purely a mental and spiritual thing for me. I pray during the breath hold. And I pray the entire time in the cold water. it took me too long to understand the meaning of life is.. unconditional love
Love to you, man. We can all understand and love one another, helping each other to stay strong and healthy.
Think of all the miserable drug addicts and people getting high on cannabis and alcohol, I suspect the market is way bigger than you think. WHM certainly makes me high, used cannabis over 40 years, now use much less (2 tokes a day) and get much higher, working out and breathwork while high.
Well done, good luck and health!
@@richardweiss4167 I just meant to say, I have been doing w h m for 2 years. I discovered it by accident. I was a long distance swimmer. And I was swimming in 60 degree water for 60 minutes hard . I had never been in such cold water for so long. So I looked up online how long is safe at that temperature, and stumbled on w h m . The cold water is merciless, like Wim says.. you are only going to do it, if you desperately need it. Much like Wim did with the tragedy of his wife. Normal, happy people are not going to subject themselves to the cold water daily. I do it because I need it. And doing it in winter is much harder than doing it in summer for me too. But I do it daily and twice daily sometimes. I used to run 5-10 miles a day as a younger man. Then I got into bodybuilding and 3 mile jogs. Then as the joint pain set in ..long distance swimming 10 years ago. I need to get high on my own supply. 98 percent of the people in the world, don’t need or crave or lack endorphins. Or whatever we produce when we push ourselves in a physical way. The breathing exercises and cold water trigger a similar response.
Bless you my friend, your comment was fascinating and insightful, keep up the good work!
Boy this hit home for me, and he is not wrong. Up in Minnesota, USA, it is cold. Embracing it this morning and doing it was so rewarding. Thank you Wim for everything. All the love, all the peace!
And windy!! In treeless North Dakota. 😉 ✌
@@danam2584 A pretty girl behind every tree!
@@simoncameron4355 haha
Moisty cold enough in Holland to...only thinking of taking that cold shower makes me go brrrrrrrr
@@simoncameron4355 LOL!!
been taking cold showers daily for the last 13 months, i''m currently the only person at my work who does this and the breathing, everyone keeps getting ill and i feel untouchable. i think they see me as either mad or inspiring but i say i'm doing this for myself. best thing i ever started, i feel like a brand new man and feel super strong in mind and body. you're my hero Wim, the world needs more people like you
I've been taking cold showers for 2 months now and haven't missed a day, never felt better in my life, the energy levels are off the charts, the beginning was painful and it is still sth I would rather not do but once I get through the first 30 seconds the cold becomes a non-factor, after I am done I feel a sense of achievement and my day just rolls with it, although I feel like I got used to cold showers (5-6 mins usually) it is still sth I dread doing in the morning, it is the feeling after I enjoy the most
How did you start if you don’t mind me asking? Like a minute then built up or what?
@@Braddug just get in it and do it, you're gonna feel better after 20secs and will be able to maintain it
@@Braddug yes, the first couple of weeks were just survival mode, 1-2 mins tops, starting with relatively warm water and then slowly lowering the temp of water, I don't think I even got to the coldest range for the first two weeks
How cold is your guys water though? Mine is 46f or 6c. On cold days I have to leave my water running or it will freeze
@@Braddug Yes...i have same question.....i noticed that my back much more sensitive then my torso area...is this normal?
He is right. I can't believe that I'm taking cold showers as the degrees have dropped.
Its insane but I'm so happy.
Did you start with hot showers first or you went straight cold ?
@@Nsowill2 i went straight cold and its amost my 1 year anniversary of taking it everyday
We both were motivated by this then!
I used to get sick at least three times at a year. After doing the Wim Hof method for 2 years and cold expousure every day, I never got sick anymore.
I have noticed that since I started cold showers I'm not getting my twice a year colds anymore. I think there is great truth in the cold boosting the immune system (which we all need in this time) and that gives me the motivation to do it. I know it is doing my body really good.
Are you sure it’s not because we have been wearing masks for 2 years and have had less social interaction? Not saying this doesn’t help but I haven’t been sick in 2 years either and I take really hot showers lol.
how many minutes did you do?
@@RyanDaMannn I think he's refering to before the pandemic but he doesnt say whether its the last 2 years or before that. I've been taking cold showers since 2012 and saw a difference in the severity of sickness each year so I keep doing it. It makes you feel very calm! I used to do 30 seconds but I can now do a 2 minute cold shower as the body adapts to the cold. Some do 7 minutes!
my family got flu, cold, corona several times, i was the only who never got sick or showed any symptoms among us and i am the only one who takes cold showers. I can’t think any other reason but that
I have done cold dips since I was a kid. My dad showed us and brothers and sisters and now nieces and nephews all do it still. Not every day but a few times a week. I used to sit and think about the cold which I'm sure can help some people. Now I use a David Goggins inspired quote. "Don't think just go." I say that to myself and just get in the water. For me it is the mind that holds me back. My body is capable of dealing with the cold. I love that Wim Hof has made this so popular. I don't feel like a weirdo anymore. Much love for WIM!
Wim, I have been doing cold showers and breathing for about a week now. I just wanted to thank you. I have suffered from anxiety and panic attacks for years, but can finally feel myself again. You truly changed my life. I am forever grateful 💓
Jessica, Has it really helped that much? In need of anxiety relief myself. Thank you
@@blakemoore666 yes. Especially when I'm consistent with it. There's nothing to lose, promise.
@@Jessica-wy8cv willing to try about anything! Gotta be hard to get used to a cold shower 😳
@@blakemoore666 U can allow your re-active Self to Soften itself & surrender progressively to cold showers & Breathing techniques . U Have that Power in the Soul / Mind / Body . If u need more support , I can help u out as a Yoga Instructor .
@@BlueHopi144 thanks for your support! I know so much of it is in the mind!! I’ve got to work on it 😀
I love my daily cold shower. Colder the better. Perfect way to start every day.
Mind always doesn't want to make itself uncomfortable and feel that pain from the cold, but as soon as you did it it's such a relief and energy burst! Happens ever time🤣 Thank you Wim for your wisdom!🙏😁
Thank you Wim. I am a better husband, father, Provider then I was three years ago before I found you. I truly understand the discipline of breathing, working out and taking a cold bath every morning and the benefits. Before I leave my house my day has already been won. I could’ve never said that three years ago. You’re an amazing human being and you’ll have given much more than you’ll ever understand. Thank you brother
Towards the end of 2019 I discovered Wim and I immediately started to follow his method, every morning three rounds of breathing and then cold shower for 3 to 5 minutes, today I am almost 72 years old and, after two years without having missed a single day I can really say that the results are exceptional, as I have four grandchildren who regularly stay with us I often catch coughs and colds in winter but since following Wim's method I haven't caught anything.
Isn't 3 to 5 minutes way too long? I used to think Wim gave advice about starting with 30 seconds for neophytes up to two minutes.
I also started with 30 to 40 seconds and then adding few seconds every day, I think that the important thing is to break out of the ‘comfort zone’ we are used to live in. Anyhow take it easy, it’s mot a competition, just feel your body and stay as long as you feel good!
No motivation for cold shower?
Wim- “JUST TAKE THE DAMN COLD SHOWER!”
1:14
Yep! Truer words never spoken. I have historically HATED the cold in all its forms. But after doing a lot of research on Wim Hof and his teachings, I began the WHM back in February 2021, just 9 short months ago. 3-4 rounds of his breathing exercise plus a cold shower. Had to train myself in the cold showers with only 30 seconds of mildly-chilly water at the very end of a hot shower and worked my way to just jumping into a straight cold shower with no warmth whatsoever. Today, it's really cold and drafty in my house and I feel somewhat chilly and lethargic in my body, but you know what's actually going to charge me up and warm up my core? Taking a cold shower! After those initial 10-15 seconds of "HOLY SHIT" the freezing water wraps you in a warm blanket and I just can't explain the feeling of warmth and energy when you step out. Plus, like Wim said, getting sick is just not something I experience much anymore. I used to get sick 3-4 times a year, but the health benefits to the cardiovascular system when taking a cold shower, as well as the overall ability to dissolve stress and boost white and red blood cells that comes from the controlled hyperventilation and retention are real! Try it for yourself...and to boot, there are no products to buy or sell here...it's all from within and all FREE! Much love & good health to you all!
Wow. You write very well. I’m with you! I started my journey in February too. 👍
Yes!!!!! I love these "holy shit" seconds!!!!!
GRACIAS, TODO EL AMOR Y TODO EL PODER 🙏
100 % yes!!!
@@CrueLoaf Hey, thank you! I’m a writer, so that’s the highest compliment you can give me! 😄 Glad to hear you’re on the WHM journey too!
I’ve been doing cold showers for years. Sometimes I still have mental resistance, but I view overcoming that as part of the training; it is never as bad as I fear, and if I stay calm then once I have adapted it can actually be quite pleasant. I’ve only recently discovered Wim Hof, and he’s inspired me to push my body and mind further, and I am always amazed to discover how powerful they both are. It is an amazing feeling of strength and resilience to find yourself doing with ease what seemed impossible!
My tip for enjoying a cold shower is to play Queen don't stop me now.
Straight in no mucking about it last about three and a half minutes but you will want to stay longer.
After the recent cold sand the temp got down to 6c but avarge about 8c.
Every morning shower after 100 crunches 100 scissor
100 reverse crunch
Various yoga positions and weights. Breathing every night before bed and I go straight off.
Diagnosed with bladder cancer 4.5 years ago but getting through it also developed generally anxiety disorder 24/ 7 which was a killer but with routine and help from a good friend, Whim and Claire Weeks ok now. Thought I was indestructible before all that as most men do.
At 67 I am still learning every day.
Stay strong and positive.
its been a whole year for me taking cold shower every day, from 20 pushups to 100 in one go ! there is no fucking way im stopping cold showers my friend, this is reality, this is life
Can u seriously do 100 pushups.. that’s awsome. I can do about 45… none stop.
I’m only jus starting to take mild cold showers.. not so cold but moderate??
Any helpful advice my helper?? 😎🙏
@@gabybayeh2307 i do 46-56 push ups with no air, then i take in one breath, do another 20 after that i do another 20-40 with regular breathing. 3 minute cold shower is my goal. good luck with those pushups and remmember what Wim is saying "cold is my warm friend" it is man
@@dzimidzimo thanks for your honest reply.. Yes this will help me to try & follow ur guidance as a way to keep going forward.
Good luck with your progression & good health
Going swimming today with whm!!! ♥️ from the cold capital 🇨🇦
Yes!! The way is...no think! Just do it!! After you will be so happy! Every thing is possible after that! Thank's Wim Hof!
The experience and taste of exhilaration and energy one enjoys after a harsh and painful cold shower in winter compels you to go through the same painful ritual every morning. It's worth giving your body and mind the pain again and again. By the way it's not only bitter to swallow in winter but also sweetest too.
I literally just got out of an ice cold shower and this was the 1st thing I see when I open my phone. Love ya Wim!
He is so amazing :) I am on Day 5 of cold showers during winters and while it is scary initially, I love the silence that pervades the mind soon after. I am hoping to train my body enough to not be scared of the cold anymore.
I'm gonna take it on...now that the rivers in Colorado are getting colder, I'm going to change my perspective and embrace the winter cold and even colder rivers with excitement and enthusiasm. Thanks Wim! ☺
Confronting/EMBRACING the cold has helped me to change SO much, SO quickly. You are a special human.💕🙏
I couldn't subscribe to cold showers without your motivation Wim!
Wim is simply one of my favorite people in the World to listen to. He is so inspiring!!! For me, I actually get excited as the Winter comes, because the cold water coming out of my shower get much colder. When I tell my friends this, they think I'm crazy! :-)
next level is to take a cold bath outside! >.< people will questioning even more! x) but thats my goal in jan-feb to take a cold bath outside!
Ik ben een Nederlander al 44 jaar in NYC. I have been taking short cold showers my whole life, following in my father’s (Holocaust survivor) footsteps. Since September I’ve been going cold shower only, and I’m embracing it (and dancing with it) daily. Thanks for your encouragement. When you’re in NYC, I’d gladly bike tour you around, that’s what I do for a living at age 68). I’m embracing the cold instead of battling it this year!
It is a heavenly cold shower I’m finally starting to embrace the practice a year after my friend suggested it. Thank you for the motivation and your hollowed out wooden shower looks so amazing!
I started this back in February of this year and my motivation was this one, just what Wim says in the video, and it became a challenge but at the same time addictive because I knew that my temperature would stabilize within a minute or 2 by breathing, and since I haven't stopped doing it. It's been a life changing routine that I will never leave and I encourage people to do it in your own time and possibilities, ALL THE LOVE; ALL THE POWER. Thanks Wim, receive this virtual hug all the way from Mexico.
You just awake me up again, thanks for reminding!
Thank you so much Wim Hof. I just recently started following your guides and already I'm noticing changes with my anxiety. I was at a point where going to work would get me so anxious, but now I'm doing your breathing exercises before work and I feel amazing! Again thanks so much. I wish you all well.
Man! I have no idea how it happened but I am right along in this madness of cold shower in the winter! 🥶💙
I’ve started with 10 days cold shower challenge and now it become a daily routine.. not a 15-20 seconds… I am brave!! My best time was 20:22 singing and dancing in the shower in the coldest setting! I must be crazy!
Dancing helps me too! 😂
Maverick Souls are always seen as crazy . I have experienced one tsunami back in December 2004 & i am now into cold showers & more breathing meditative practices to cleanse the lower vehicles of the soul .
Cold showers changed my energy, health and life, and continue to do so every day now. Thank you Wim 😌🙏
I am motivated. I'm gonna go to the beach tomorrow. The water is 45f/7c. I need that cold water its like food for my soul.
Thank you Wim Hof. 5 years ago I heard about you and watched a video and it changed my life 10000%. No more thyroid problems, no more allergies. I feel healthier than ever.
Did you do the breathing exercise along with the cold showers to heal your thyroid?
@@paigeharleyzoey3 Yeah. Everyday I do the breathing exercises and cold showers.
Love you Wim. I started your breathing 7 years ago after watching a Vice video on you. I only started the cold showers when my friend died. I've learned how to be fully present and now some insane stuff started happening. I mean crazy. And I love it. My life has turned to gold. Thank you so much.
Wim Hof you’re an amazing person. I started 6 months ago and it is a total game changer. We need this so much in these strange times. Take back the control over your body, your health, your well-being!
Waking up at 35 degrees and my morning routine is still Wim's breathing exercise for beginners and the cold shower. Sometimes I cheat and start with hot water before switching to cold though lol.
The more I do cold showers, the better i feel afterwards and during them because my mind is saying how much I love it the more I do them. So at first, I'm telling myself how much it hurts but overtime, i start telling myself how good it feels. So it's all about mindset. My depression disappears, switches to fight or flight and I feel more alive. This teaches me that if I do more things that are uncomfortable, I'll be less depressed, but doing more comfortable things like warm showers, ill be more depressed and seeking comfort more often.
This is my story, 3 years ago at age 65 I was diagnosed with copd after a few years of my breathing getting worse, I was given inhalers and flu jabs to protect me. I got a bad flu 2 xmasses on the trot one of which developed into pneumonia. I found Wims breathing tutorial by accident and have been doing it nearly 2 years coupled with a 3 min cold shower, I can tell you now I feel great, I can hold my breath much longer, walk further and rarely get ill. Thanks Wim you have improved my life no end , I wish you all the very best
Thank you Wim for your constant encouragement, it really motivates the cold showers in winter. It reminds me of when I lived in Alaska and the temps would drop to zero. Just stepping outside made me feel so alive!! Now the cold showers are just as energizing! 💖
Ha! Got this on the day I skipped the cold shower. Time to get back on that waggon. Thank you Wim for the inspiration once again
Winter is perfect for cold showers!! Thank you for the motivation Wim!! 🌬❄
I can't even put it in words how much you have helped me Wim
Given the exorbitant rises in the cost of energy Wim Hof's advice could be useful for everyone this winter.
I just started. It’s incredible. The first few times is a challenge. But I feel so much better throughout the day. 10-11 minutes guided breathing and an ice cold shower 2x a day.
Cold shower is actually more difficult than cold bath cos water is running so no subtle insulation layer can form around body
Although that's true whenever I get the chance to fully submerge into an ice lake or ice bath it feels much harder because I don't get to do it that often. Ice cold shower I do everyday.
"THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING"
@@yobabybubba I’m doing a cold shower now for a month and loving it. It was hard at the start but now I actually enjoy it. Just starting to get colder now as well here in Ireland..😜
B Illzer I try and imagine the cold water is like a holy water just washing over me, empowering me and boosting my spirit and wellbeing. I think visualisation like that is a very powerful motivator and that's why I do it. To be washed in mother earth's sacred goodness!
@@billzer9102 cool, good for you.
Hoi,
I just want to say thank you.
I have taken cold showers for a year and cold baths for half a year. My body has got in such good balance. I have lost weight and got in real good shape.
Thank you ❤❤❤
Wim is utterly amazing, he is a true gift to the world......
Just the inspiration I needed as winter approaches. Thank you Wim! I have been doing your Method for 3 years and haven’t been sick once during that time. All the Love and All the Power!
It’s strange as I’m more motivated in the winter than the summer!!
Same, Always felt I was getting more out of it. The shower is definitely getting colder.
Yes yes yes summertime was getting boring I started in January and could not wait for the bone chilling ice cold showers of the Mountain winters... they make me feel amazing everyday! ☮️
COLD SHOWERS HAVE GREATLY REDUCED OUR ARTHRITIC INFLAMMATION AND ANXIETY !!!!!!!! THANKS WIM !!!!!!!!!!
I remember one day in the Winter going outside with no hat and I got a cold that lasted me a week. I don't believe this method is for me but I appreciate its value as it may have helped many people live better lives.
Maybe it's because your hair was wet whilst outside, and probably windy Which would of resulted you in getting a cold.
Wife and daughter have covid 19
Myself tested negative
Don't know if it's the press ups and cold showers daily but as of now feeling completely fine.
I even look forward to my body glowing red I call it a cold tan.
Thanks Wim
hope your family has a quick recovery! not an easy thing to go through
@@everjust23 all doing fine Dan
Playing connect 4 with the wife
Daughter just chillin 👍
Thanks for thinking of us.
I guess that the love in the Wim community
Meeting the Iceman himself two weeks ago and spending a whole weekend with him was really a highlight for me. What a guy… No excuse for me anymore: cold exposure every day!
The sky isn't the limit... The mind is !!! Awesome !!
You have to admit the dude is an inspiration, Thanks Wim!!!
cold showers changed my life
Make a video about it
Mine too ! I learned how I approach things most of the time . Like entering slowly and retreating quickly !! And only by mentally preparing for a sudden plunge can I overcome.
how did cold showers change your life James?
Easy tutorial for beginners:
Option A:
1) Shower with 1 hand, and with the other hold the shower head (so you can control the exposure)
2) Start with a shoulder/arm, switch to the other, then take a deep breath and pour on chest and back. At this point, doing legs and crotch should be the easiest part.
2.5) Along the above point, rub/soap intensively where/as the water hits (this warms the skin and makes it bearable)
3) DON'T SHOWER YOUR HEAD (this could give you serious head-aches as a beginer) ... if u need to wash hair, do it separately (after) with warm water.
Option B:
Wash first with hot water, after you are done, just crank it to cold water. End shower.
I just took my first cold shower. Made it two full minutes breathing through the whole thing. Thank you Wim!
Winter's the best time for WHM, you get the most benefits and most joy!
Blessings! 🕉️❣️
Motivate yourself,there is a weird echo chamber effect to me with having people do something. We as an individual can only hope to influence someone to do better or more but truth is it comes down to them. We can show how something works and can help but that alone will not make someone change or try it. Focus on your will power people and build yourself up. You can do it no one else can for you.
I agree. Sometimes I remind myself that I don't have to do this, no one is making me. I want to do this to be healthy.
@@martinobanassa It is a good hill to walk over,you give yourself purpose with upholding a standard. People with low or no standards i tend to correlate with being un happy possibly lazy. Stay positive and support yourself.
@@zeze3305 Thanks. I'm sending you good vibes right back!
I live in Ohio it’s 35 degrees right now hit a 10 minute ice bath earlier today outside. Not a better feeling. The faster you submit to the cold & let go, the quicker the benefits. “NO EGO, WE GO”.🙏🏼
Chardon Ohio is a great place
Wim is so pure and authentic❤
Wim is wonderful. Explaining it would take many books, but it works for me.
I'm begginer so it's a bit hard to take a cold shower in winter but i'm gonna try my best anyway. Love u Wim
I started taking cold showers after listening a podcast with a physiologist about recovery methods. From this time I take only cold showers daily and after each training session (except when I'm on the swimming pool and there are no thermo regulation) and I see real benefits! First of all I don't feel sleepy after the training and I have an energy to proceed next daily tasks and of course I feel better.
Which podcast did you hear may i ask?
Ik ben 86 jaren iedere morgen neem ik een ijskoude douche zing er 2 liedjes bij, en vertel mij zelf hoe heerlijk het is. Ik voel mij super gezond, word nooit meer verkouden Dank je wel Wim!!!
2 years I did the breathing and didn’t want to do the showers, now I started with the showers and I love it !!!
It took me about 100 days of cold showers to the point where it doesn't feel really hard to do anymore. I now just do it. 10 minute pure cold shower, every day.
I got this really simple thought that works for me, it goes like this. Whenever there is any doubt or excuses coming up, I think this:
"What am I?"
"A man"
"Is a man affraid of some cold water?"
"No."
That's it, into the cold this man goes. It may sound silly but this really works for me.
Other tips:
- Buy a shower speaker. I bought a ue wonderboom and it's great for more cold shower motivation.
- Buy a shower timer. It's much better when you can focus on yourself, your breath, etc, and you don't have to watch the time.
- On really weak moments, you could start off with 5 minutes of warm shower, then turn it full cold. This is easier than starting off cold. This way you can take a cold shower even on your weakest moments.
thanks!
@@eliaspkay your welcome, I hope you succeed!
Here in Minnesota we are having waterline repairs, so our lines are above ground and exposed to freezing Temps, so the shower is just barely above freezing! I need to take a hot shower first to get motivated, then blast the cold haha. I still get a good thermogenesis effect, with my skin red and numb when I am done :)
Wim , you are the best 😊 just 2 minutes of you talking and everybody is motivated
i do cold swimming since October and i reached actually today 4,8 degrees water temperature while the air had 0 degrees Celsius. Its a success for me!
It's crazy how most people were brought up to think that if you get cold you get a cold/flu. Why was this?
if you read his book it explains it better than i can.
but basically it’s because since birth we’ve been adapted to the current state of civilization.
your mother tells you to dress warm or your catch a cold, the whole reason you get sick in the first place is due to how utterly weak the average cardiovascular system is in a human at our current state. cardio vascular diseases are the number one issue with health problems.
simply put, we’ve adapted to the unnatural way of life
In addition: you feel less cold after cold showers. I now turn my heater lower which also saves costs. And it still feels comfortable
Gospodine Wim vi polako ali sigurno mijenjate moj život , puno vam hvala .P.S.nemam problema sa hladnim tuširanjem . HVALA VAM
Love his energy sooooo much. We need more people like Wim 🥰❤️🙌🏼
It will be easier for some if they start with hot first, then go cold.
This guy is Amazing and I love the breathing exercises, the cold showers are very challenging and I need to step up to them. Thanks for the drive as always Mr. Hof, keep pushing us as I know it's very beneficial.
WIM HOF je kent mij niet maar wij zijn zo ongelooflijk blij met jouw uitleg en voorbeelden op youtube en we zijn nu in week zeven wat betreft onze andere voeding en koude douches elke dag elke ochtend...de adem oefening...en werkelijk onze lichamen veranderen en we voelen ons beter en beter...en je hebt zo gelijk....Fuck it DOE HET!!!!!! Ik vind je humor heerlijk en je openheid en plezier in wat je uitdraagt Dikke vette complimenten en lieve groeten en een dikke knuffel op de koop toe...Liefs lien*

Entire video in a nutshell 1:14
Haha!
You can't fail to love Wims lust for life. Have had covid the past few days - mild cold symptoms. No vaccine for personal reasons. Have been doing Wims deep breath holding exercises every morning for past six months and cold showers for past four months. Haven't missed a cold shower even in present circumstances. Thanks Wim.
This dude does not take himself too seriously. I love that!
This man changed my life and made me super human. Thank you Wim. I love you brother.
my problem is when i skip one day. then it takes me a couple weeks before i find the courage to restart XD
Never miss a day. If you miss today it will be twice as hard to do it tomorrow. Really - if you are sitting here reading comments to get motivated you are wasting the time that you will spend motivated. Every second here is a second you could have been closer to being done. Just get in the damn shower I tell you ! Peace brothers and sisters
Love it❤
Yeah 💯
Every video i watch ur behavior makes me smile such a enlighted mood
Honestly this truly motivated me to take cold showers in the winter and I love your passion!
Nice shower you have there wim :)
Hi, I’ve had an extreme sensitivity to cold for many years. My hands and feet become so painful, and I’m also sensitive to cool wind. Is cold therapy you are describing appropriate for me?
I DREAD the cold…but I’m willing to learn, and willing to change. I want this pattern of my body’s response to cool/cold to be permanently changed and healed. Thank you!!🙏
Good luck Rachel. Yes, im so much like this also.. I’ve always been the warm comfort approached being.. & live in a warm city like in Sydney Australia. I’ve trialed some cold showers before my morning bootcamp training & felt very energised & can do more than I normally do..!
Hope We Both Succeed 😎🙏😊
@@gabybayeh2307 did you succeed?! I love warmth too!
I tried a warm to cold showers and my 🐾 don't get freezing cold in the store. They heat up, like little heaters in my shoes! I need to work on my hands some more. Time for the happy ice bucket. (This is painful, but fun.) Edited in: I don't know why my comment posted with animal paws.
Best thing I ever done, cold showers and breathing, love you wim x
Development at every level comes more from what is difficult & challenging than from what is comfortable & easy
