I find that 60 seconds is the perfect amount of time for me. Wim Hof breathing when I wake up and a cold shower genuinely sets me up for a great day. It’s amazing how much more energised I feel after a cold shower. And of course a great mood boost.
Hi I have a question, I have either first to take a regular warm shower and then do 60 seconds with cold water, or I have to do only 60 seconds with cold water?
@@Gaming-inthezone I personally think that it is good starting with a warm shower and then go to cold water. Mentally prepare yourself and then start to focus on the breath in the cold water. Just try and stay relaxed throughout and then feel great! The wim hof method app also includes a timer to countdown and then you can do the 60 seconds.
I appreciate his goal with this was to help, obviously a cold shower is nothing to him, but he makes it fun and calls it a work out for the people just starting. It takes a deeply compassionate person to think that way.
Yes but if you think about it, it truly IS a workout--a mental workout. At least for me it is, because when I get in it takes ALL my concentration. I cannot think about anything else but slowing and controlling my breathing, turning to expose all of the skin. I can't think about everything I have to get done, everything I haven't gotten done, my bills, my child's or my husband's problems, my elderly parents, nothing. It's just me and my will to remain in that cold water breathing and turning. For me that's a mental workout.
67 years of age and taken cold showers every morning about 4 minutes Its life saving I can tell cause feel difference have had vane problems and now feel so good Thank You Wim for waking us up Do also the breathing technics
Cold showers have changed my life. We’ll truly wim hof changed my life. I’m blessed to be able to stand strong for 1 min now in cold shower. ❤I suffer mental health and past addictions. It’s truly such a blessing to have the knowledge you’ve lived and created.
And that’s exactly what his calling is he didn’t receive it in the easiest of ways. No, probably the harshest ways someone can get it. But that motivates him more to do it all so all the power and love to Wim
i been taking 4 min freezing cold showers as its been -15 degrees celcius in Toronto and i started 14 days ago, right after i wake up. Best free drug i've discovered!! First time i did it i felt like i became a super saiyan like a beast awoke inside me or i took 4 espresso shots. I've found more focus, able to have more clear conversations, i believe it has helped with anxiety, the feeling of getting through something so tough does something to you. We sure do need some healthy stress on our body, I would highly recommend.
lol who told you? In 13 days it will be a year of me doing that every single day and i haven't felt better, it's the only way i can get up now because of how i feel after. @@dereckderr
I find the first two mins are the most stimulating but I stay in for five mins. I’ve been amazed at just how good I feel afterwards and how much better I sleep if I do this when I wake up and before I go to bed. After years of feeling tired at work and not sleeping that well, these cold showers have turned things around for me ❤
@@dagwoodtrizzle2693 I have trouble sleeping and the cold shower before bed was fantastic. As other people have posted you get so cold and as your energy levels are lower than in the morning when u warm up by getting pj's on dressing gown etc when u get into bed and ur warming up you just want to go to sleep really works.
I accidentally discovered listening to music when I was looking for a way to time my cold shower. Now it’s part of the experience and I look forward to it soooooo much. I literally leap out of bed in the morning to get downstairs and get the kettle on, then it’s the outdoor cold shower to music.
@@chrisr3688 well it depends! Sometimes it is The Doors, or Happy by Pharell Williams or Watermelon Sugar by Harry Styles. I now have a shower playlist of songs of different length so I don’t need to watch the stopwatch!
I do the same after a song is done I know I've been in for about 2-3 min and sometimes il go through a couple songs. Once you've gotten in it's not that bad, very enjoyable. I'ma have to put some of the doors music on great band.
On year 3. I used to start warm and gradually move to cold. Now mornings are straight cold and I can't live without them. Evenings are more gradually still. But love it so much. COLD showers have changed my life.
@@Joka96 you know, I really can't remember. I think in the middle of the summer. Now that it's winter, I've been doing gradual again. But where I am it literally just jumped from winter to summer within a day. I'll prob go straight cold today after a workout. But gradual is always okay. Don't do anything that doesn't feel comfortable. :) Enjoy and dance in the shower as well. :)
@@Joka96 Different for everyone, i always start hot/warm and go straight to the cold and not gradually which will make more of an impact given the fact that your body is hotter. I used to do it gradually for a month or 2. But i’m sure you can already do it
Been doing cold showers and breathing technique for nearly 7 years now wim. I honestly would not contemplate a warm shower anymore. I have ms and since my first relapse witnessed by multiple lesions on an mri machine I started your techniques after buying the course. I have since then to date shown no further lesions or progression of existing lesions. Long may that continue and I believe in the cold and breathing. I think this should be taught in school if I am honest. I think it would save a lot of lives and reduce autoimmume disease, stress, inflammations and bring joy to generations moving forward. Thank you wim for everything you have taught me. Take care!
I always start the first half of my shower warm, then go to the cold to make it have even more impact on my body and challenging me more rather than preparing to go into the cold shower. Giving pre adaptability
@@enlightenedwriter everyone has their own way I have found. But now I do not have a shock factor going straight into the cold on cold mornings. Getting the muscles shivering a little as I dry off I find to be part of an addiction in a way. My body now feels the want to feel that way each day. I find it helps with dexterity in my hands and feet the most which was an issue for me before. Take care and all the best enlightened!
@@sup2730 Yea that’s why i suggest starting hot and then going into the cold for the shock. If you don’t get it there, you’re quite a bit further into the cold training than i am 😅
Just had my first cold shower in over 20 years and I gradually went from hot to cold. I only stayed cold for maybe 10 seconds but it’s a start and I will continue this journey! Thank you, Wim for your exceptional knowledge! ✨🙏🏾😌🌬❄️
I cold shower every day outside no matter what the weather,it's a great way to calm my anxiety to start my day. Coupled with the breathing it's wonderful. Thank you Wim.❤😊
I spend a minimum of a minute in the cold, cold water at the end of my showers every morning for quite awhile now and I'm really loving it! And if it's painful I go ahead and yell out..I go ahead and make sounds but I really feel like it's a natural thing..just makes sense to me and I feel much better and more awake and alert and energized and healthy and I haven't been sick in ages.
Been doing cold showers for months now and it literally prevents me from getting sore after working meaning I recovered better and can train more often, plus my body just feels a lot better and I'm more resistant to cold.
@@philiphenriksen5208 I'm sorry but there's a study that says cold showers, unlike cold water immersion, shows absolutely no influence on muscle hypertrophy no matter when they are taken. So take your short cold showers whenever you want except before bedtime, of course. ☺️
The cold showers helped me recover from some symptoms after a concussion. I was applying the method intuitively. Following your breathing exercises made it more systematic and increased a lot the duration of the showers(3min really cold here in Canada). The symptoms went away(numbness, headaches). Thanks a lot!
I have been doing cold showers and ice baths since June after Mel Robbins talked about you. I use your app and I do a 3.10 min shower every morning and an ice bath at night sometimes! Love it and I feel incredible
I can see how this whole "60 for 60" thing is a trick....a trick to get us to do it for life!!! That's the way its trending. I have been loving my 60 seconds!!!
I do about 2-4 minutes every night before bed. It does help alleviate stress and I’m able to think a little clearer while I’m in there. Also, it’s getting colder where I’m at and I feel as if I’m able to withstand more of the cold better than I used to. Cold showers are better than I thought.
I have been having cold showers for last 2 months about, I noticed how good I feel and it even lightens my mood. It helps me sleep at night too and helps me calm, I never knew the effect it could have inside and out but now I’m obsessed…
I live in southern US so we don’t have frozen lakes so I’ve been doing cold showers for years after discovering your method! Some days I just can’t do it but 90% of my showers are cold, I feel energized and pumped up afterwards but definitely a head game beforehand, just gotta jump in before I convince myself not to and focus on breathing. Also like someone else said, it’s ok to build up to this. I did that for a while until I could take the cold shock without any buffer. Push yourselves but also go at your own pace, find the balance that works for you!
I actually love cold showers! I love the shock, the energy, and it just feels good. Gonna take one tomorrow AM, I forgot about doing them for awhile after I fell pregnant and have a newborn now.
60 seconds should get you most of the physiological benefits. But the building resilience. It get s stronger the more time you are in, the the more you push yourself to do exactly what you don’t want to do. Stay longer. Let your skin get blood red like happens if you are in the north east US at least. I won’t get out until it’s not cold at all and the cold doesn’t affect my breathing anymore. I now am up to taking ad long of shower as ky water bill will let me, usually 6-7 minutes and take cold to ice baths every day I can feel like my wife won’t be annoyed with the water bill lol. My favorite I’ve added running our cold water baths and adding just enough ice that there will be a little left when I’m done. And I’m taking a 12 minute bath. It’s hard to feel any prouder than that!
@@johnromero3320 okay so why else do you do it? I mean, it helps some people with sickness regardless. I feel 10x better when I take a full cold shower. I still feel good if I only end my shower cold.
@@kizzyrichards593 I feel like it helps me manage my anxiety and stress. The cold showers / ice baths and breathing exercises are what helped me get off of medication for anxiety. I may benefit from not getting sick, but not the reason that I personally practice this.
@@enlightenedwriter a person who has good level of self-control is a chad. A person who acts on impulses is a threat to society and their existence must be eliminated if necessary. Self-improvement communities have created this stereotype that if you have six packs, you disrespect women, you are a playboy then you are chad. It's deviating from the original purpose of the movement, and these youtubers are spreading conservative propaganda, some are spreading islamic propaganda. So it's obvious that they will see women in a low position and try to show dominance.
Well it's quite a relief I'm not the only one who dances and makes these noises after freezin' myself out, Wim! Resonance in the shower is top notch, too. (h)OOOOOMMMMM(e). 🤟🧙♂️
😄 Those dance moves. Showers are getting colder here in Barcelona getting closer to the winter. appartements are very cold during winter here but more the challenge then. 🚿❄️💯😄
Yup. Same here, close to Toronto, Canada. I can feel the water temperature dropping. But it’s easy to walk around a cold apartment after a cold shower.
I'm a month and a couple days of cold showers. I do 2 miles hit a cold shower then begin weight lifting. The cold shower is the hardest mentally but once your in it's pure joy. I look forward to it every morning but it is hard when your about to get in.
I’ve been taking cold showers for 6 months now, they’re great. In the morning it is difficult to get into at first but becomes routine. It wakes you up so much and feels awesome after
I've been having cold showers for a year and a half now - I've gotten to the point where I take as long as I did with hot showers - they are amazing after the first minute of pain - then it's all downhill - such is the key to life - take the first minute of pain willingly - and then it's all downhill
The 60 seconds pouring water on the body is quite well! On the head is not so good! I start to seeing stars after 20 seconds! I do not know whether I should proceed, I am cautious! Thanks for your answer, Marc 🙏
This is my third time doing cold shower in the morning , Im from Quebec canada and its below 0 degree everyday , water is cold as hell it freeze my brain after a little bit more then 1min so far I lasted 1min25 trying to get to 2min! I need to practice not only for the benefit on health but also because spearfishing season in quebec is very cold , 30/35 degree water in the spring!
Yeah this morning again. Nice and calm. Deep breath. You come so aware of your body; its 100 times stronger than the warm one. And Hey, breathing is easy, right? You're doing it every moment 💪
I was at like 30 seconds then I said let me try 40 now I’m at 90 seconds. I def think the longer you can sustain it the more durable your system is. Winter cold showers are a blessing in disguise gotta love the stimulation
I do weightless squats and 45 lb. dumbbell flat bench presses for fitness. I enjoyed training my mind(and I guess my jaw muscles lol like when eating)for 47 seconds today! I celebrated the day after my 47th birthday by having my face in a bowl of cold water for that long! My thermometer said it was 58 degrees Fahrenheit! Obviously breathing would've been bad so I was holding my bref! Next week I'll add 3 or 6 ice cubes before the 47 seconds! Every week after that I'll keep adding ice cubes until the temperature is... what do you think is good?.... 35-ish Fahrenheit?! :P
Nederlanders noemde me vroeger gek omdat ik dit af en toe doe. Tnx voor het op je nemen van de faam nu hoef ik die mensen niet uit te leggen hoe dom ze altijd geweest zijn+10 rep (begin bij de hersenstam daar komt gevoel vandaan)
The coldest shower i ever had without adding ice to my bath was in the mountains of switzerland in zermatt. The everlasting ice up there and the always cold pipes brought a cold shower to a whole different level. It was like needles coming out the shower..i loved to start my day like that. Now i am based in the philippines. Now the coldest shower is just luke warm.
for me cold plunges in the river were easier than cold showers. i had to begin that way. cold showers were making me almost agressive how hard it was for me. river taught me to calm the f**k down. hahahah....
Here in Colorado it's easy in the summertime because it's hot outside and the water isn't very cold - but in the winter it can be freezing outside and the water is a lot colder. I'm at a place where even in the dead of winter on a freezing cold day, I look forward to my cold shower and I'm thankful for the "ideal conditions" on those days.
I’m turning 16 in about 2.5 weeks. My first time ever doing a ice bath will be that day. I’ve been taking cold showers since 2 days ago, and tomorrow I’m going to take a cold bath of about 67 degrees F. Because I don’t want to shock the body, I will do a breathing session before, and I will jump right in the bath tub. Then the next day I’ll do 64 degrees then 60 degrees then 57,55,then I’ll do 53 degrees F till my birthday, and on my birthday ima make the water 50 degrees F and be in there for 16 minutes. And I actually think I’m going to start doing cold showers everyday because I actually like it a lot better than warm showers as it makes me feel tired and just makes me want to sleep and be lazy
Cold showers are amazing. Make sure it's as cold as you can stand it. I'm going to try contrasting temperature showers this week. Hot 2 mins. Cold 1 min. 3-5 cycles
I wish I could actually have a shower that was 60 seconds long! I’m in Australia and fully on tank water. Now just ain’t the time but the 22 sec shower I have is always cold cold cold! Thanks Mr Hof 😘 do 4 rounds of breathing every day 👍🏽 blessings snd love
Idk why everyone is always so calm going into the cold. I can't stop myself from singing and dancing like a monkey on LSD.
ahaha
I prefer monkeys
If i woulda wanted to be frozen
I would have came here
As a pop tart
🤣❄️❄️❄️🐣
Same
As long as I breath deeeep in and out about 15x and fully succumb to the cold I find it pretty easy. It really helps.
Grow up

As Wim once said-Cold shower a day,keeps your doctor away:).Thank you Wim for your wisdom!
I got sick after doing cold showers for 2 months straight…
@@Dro1o1
you were probably sick going into the shower and your immune response was weaker.
@@Dro1o1If you get sick, start with a quick shower and work gradually up to a minute. Its not a competion.
Stay strong brothers. Cold showers improve self control. Not just that but also improves skin quantity, makes us feel fresh and energetic.
And you also itch like hell after taking one
@@idkactually8565 you should visit a skin doctor. Because this isn't normal, seems like you have a particular skin condition.
Finally someone who doesn’t say Chad=going to the gym. And knows that there are other good or better ways to gain humility, strength, wisdom etc.
@@enlightenedwriter a person who has good level of self-control is a chad. A person who acts on impulses is a threat to society and their existence must be eliminated if necessary. Self-improvement communities have created this stereotype that if you have six packs, you disrespect women, you are a playboy then you are chad. It's deviating from the original purpose of the movement, and these youtubers are spreading conservative propaganda, some are spreading islamic propaganda. So it's obvious that they will see women in a low position and try to show dominance.
I'm 63 and have been cold showering everyday for 21 months, I find last thing before bed having a cold shower relaxes me so much. I love them! ❤
Well it's quite a relief I'm not the only one who dances and makes these noises after freezin' myself out, Wim! Resonance in the shower is top notch, too. (h)OOOOOMMMMM(e). 🤟🧙♂️
Прекраснейший человек и Великий Учитель.
он как Бог и славянских сказок!)
Dude your attitude is awesome 💪😁
😄 Those dance moves. Showers are getting colder here in Barcelona getting closer to the winter. appartements are very cold during winter here but more the challenge then. 🚿❄️💯😄
Yup. Same here, close to Toronto, Canada.
I can feel the water temperature dropping.
But it’s easy to walk around a cold apartment after a cold shower.
Hello Wim! Thank you very much for subtitling your videos. You are big!
I LOVE my spirit animal 🥰,,
Thanks for being so AWESOME
I'm a month and a couple days of cold showers. I do 2 miles hit a cold shower then begin weight lifting. The cold shower is the hardest mentally but once your in it's pure joy. I look forward to it every morning but it is hard when your about to get in.
Me and my twin brother are going for swims in our lake ! ITS AWESOME THANKS WIM
Cool. I went swimming in Georgian bay, Ontario, Canada last week.
Wish it was in my backyard but it’s an hour and a half away.
Right on, Wim Hoffman. Thank you for this knowledge
I love you Wim! Your the best! You inspire me!!!🙏🏼😇
Love his attitude ❤
Wim Hof is the real deal!
Doing the 60 day 60 sec challenge thank you!!!
Best of luck man!
Try 5 minute ice cold showers, much better
Thanks Wim. Needed This Today!! 🙏🏽
3 years of cold shower. Thanks Wim!
You’re awesome!! I’m frightened of the cold, kind of burns.
I’ve been taking cold showers for 6 months now, they’re great. In the morning it is difficult to get into at first but becomes routine. It wakes you up so much and feels awesome after
The cold almost always feels good. It's so refreshing.
What 60 seconds. I've been showering for maybe 10 days and I'm already at 10 min with enjoyment. Thank you Wim Hof you crazy one ✌️🤘
I've been having cold showers for a year and a half now - I've gotten to the point where I take as long as I did with hot showers - they are amazing after the first minute of pain - then it's all downhill - such is the key to life - take the first minute of pain willingly - and then it's all downhill
Yaaas! That lil dance is so how I feel afterward, PUMPED UP 🙌
The 60 seconds pouring water on the body is quite well! On the head is not so good! I start to seeing stars after 20 seconds! I do not know whether I should proceed, I am cautious!
Thanks for your answer, Marc 🙏
You are biggest motivation in this age
Спасибо, Вим! Ты вдохновляешь, бро!
Excelente Dr gracias por la información y por la información
This video is exactly what I want to see to start my day! BETTER THAN COFFEE ☕
Love his energy!
This is my third time doing cold shower in the morning , Im from Quebec canada and its below 0 degree everyday , water is cold as hell it freeze my brain after a little bit more then 1min so far I lasted 1min25 trying to get to 2min! I need to practice not only for the benefit on health but also because spearfishing season in quebec is very cold , 30/35 degree water in the spring!
Yeah this morning again. Nice and calm. Deep breath. You come so aware of your body; its 100 times stronger than the warm one. And Hey, breathing is easy, right? You're doing it every moment 💪
I was at like 30 seconds then I said let me try 40 now I’m at 90 seconds. I def think the longer you can sustain it the more durable your system is. Winter cold showers are a blessing in disguise gotta love the stimulation
YOU ARE LIVING LEGEND SIR
i really love you man ❤️❤️
Gracias querido Wim, por inspirarnos!
I need more of this. ❤❤thank you God
LOVE YOU WIM THANK YOU
Jajaja sólo de ver esto se me eriza la piel, pero este hombre está bárbaro.😄👌
Love you man!!
I love his energy 😂❤
One of my favourite activities, cold showers, it's on par with cold sea swimming.
Will be doing this! Thank you Wim!!🎉🎉🎉
I do weightless squats and 45 lb. dumbbell flat bench presses for fitness. I enjoyed training my mind(and I guess my jaw muscles lol like when eating)for 47 seconds today! I celebrated the day after my 47th birthday by having my face in a bowl of cold water for that long! My thermometer said it was 58 degrees Fahrenheit! Obviously breathing would've been bad so I was holding my bref! Next week I'll add 3 or 6 ice cubes before the 47 seconds! Every week after that I'll keep adding ice cubes until the temperature is... what do you think is good?.... 35-ish Fahrenheit?! :P
The dance at the end. I love it. Going to do this nightly now but for 2 minutes like i seen him say on another video for optimal time.
Wow. Boss. You the Patron. Great
I always find myself dancing after the cold shower too :D
Hey HEEEY!!😁💖
Gotta' love it when BUSTS OUT those MOVES!!👍👍
Thank you sir, yo changed my life 😁😁😄. And I have a habit for taking shower more than a hour 😁
Hot shower 😁😁😂😂
@@joedrumer9029 no cold shower for 60 min
Nederlanders noemde me vroeger gek omdat ik dit af en toe doe.
Tnx voor het op je nemen van de faam nu hoef ik die mensen niet uit te leggen hoe dom ze altijd geweest zijn+10 rep
(begin bij de hersenstam daar komt gevoel vandaan)
Мое почтение и восхищение, маэстро!!! 🎉😊
The coldest shower i ever had without adding ice to my bath was in the mountains of switzerland in zermatt. The everlasting ice up there and the always cold pipes brought a cold shower to a whole different level.
It was like needles coming out the shower..i loved to start my day like that. Now i am based in the philippines. Now the coldest shower is just luke warm.
for me cold plunges in the river were easier than cold showers. i had to begin that way. cold showers were making me almost agressive how hard it was for me. river taught me to calm the f**k down. hahahah....
Here in Colorado it's easy in the summertime because it's hot outside and the water isn't very cold - but in the winter it can be freezing outside and the water is a lot colder. I'm at a place where even in the dead of winter on a freezing cold day, I look forward to my cold shower and I'm thankful for the "ideal conditions" on those days.
I’m turning 16 in about 2.5 weeks. My first time ever doing a ice bath will be that day. I’ve been taking cold showers since 2 days ago, and tomorrow I’m going to take a cold bath of about 67 degrees F. Because I don’t want to shock the body, I will do a breathing session before, and I will jump right in the bath tub. Then the next day I’ll do 64 degrees then 60 degrees then 57,55,then I’ll do 53 degrees F till my birthday, and on my birthday ima make the water 50 degrees F and be in there for 16 minutes. And I actually think I’m going to start doing cold showers everyday because I actually like it a lot better than warm showers as it makes me feel tired and just makes me want to sleep and be lazy
I take such a cold shower every morning❤I love it!!!
Cold showers are amazing. Make sure it's as cold as you can stand it. I'm going to try contrasting temperature showers this week. Hot 2 mins. Cold 1 min. 3-5 cycles
I wish I could actually have a shower that was 60 seconds long! I’m in Australia and fully on tank water. Now just ain’t the time but the 22 sec shower I have is always cold cold cold! Thanks Mr Hof 😘 do 4 rounds of breathing every day 👍🏽 blessings snd love
