Wim Hof | It Takes Only 2 Days! 

For those of you who didn't get it, that's because this video never says what you do for 2 days. Actually you do it for the rest of your life. He says it takes 2 days of doing it to get the effects. That's odd since most people who do this get immediate effects. So here is what you need to do. I got this information from a yt video made by someone. I'm just sharing it here. Do this every morning b4 you eat and as many times as you want during the day, but do it on an empty stomach, so b4 dinner and bed are good times. First relax and focus your mind. Next, take about 5-10 slow deep breaths, fully in and fully out, to warm up your lungs. Then do some dynamic stretching for a couple minutes. Now, lie down or sit down and take 30 deep breaths. Breathe in fully and just let it go. Exhale naturally. Don't breathe fully out. Fully in and just let it go, normal exhale. No pause between the exhale and inhale. On the 30th breathe after the exhale, hold your breath for as long as you can. During this time you want to relax. During this time you'll feel tingling in your hands and feet and maybe even your head. When you need to breathe, breathe in fully and hold your breath for 15 seconds. For added benefit tighten your stomach muscles during these 15 seconds and squeeze the oxygen into your head. Don't force. Do it gently at first and increase based on how you feel. That was 1 round. First time you can just do 1 round or 2 or 3 rounds. Go with how you feel. Next day you can do 3 rounds. Some end up doing 4 or 5 rounds or even more, but it's not a competition. You decide how much you do based on how you feel. Each round you'll be able to hold your breath longer and your breath holds will increase with time, but some days they'll decrease. Don't worry. This is normal. My breath holds suck right now, and some days I don't do any, which is unfortunate, but it happens, but one time I held my breath for almost 3 minutes. Some can hold it that long or longer right away, but that's not the point. If you do this every day, it will, over time, increase and you'll feel good. After breathing, do some more dynamic stretching and then take a cold shower or gradual cold shower each morning. Start warm and slowly turn it colder. In about a week, you'll notice a difference in how much cold water your body can tolerate and after about a month, even more, but even with cold showers sometimes you might need to step back and kinda start over. Don't worry. Everyone is different. Wim has a free app, but just about everything on that app is now also on RU-vid, including his Guided Breathing Session, which is really good. There's also plenty of videos on here and testimonials. Everyone should do the Wim Hof method at least once a day. As Wim says, a cold shower a day keeps the doctor away, but no cold shower if you're sick. Take care everyone. Stay well. I'm very glad that my comments here have helped some people. That feels good. One of my dreams now is to meet and train with Wim. If that ever happens, I'm so going to make a video of it : ) Edit 1/23/21 I just now realized I should've mentioned that I got some of this info from a yt channel called 'Code of Life' She put out a series of videos on the Wim Hof Method 'Step by Step'. I should also mention that I don't always do the warmups. Often I just lie down and do the breathing exercises and sometimes follow up with a cold shower, though lately I've been lazy and haven't done anything for like 4 days, so I challenged myself today and took a full ice bath. By full, I mean the tub was full of ice, not partially full. Somehow I managed to stay in for 4 minutes. YIKES! LOL. Don't do more than 1 or 2 minutes the first time you take an ice bath. I only lasted 20 seconds the first time I tried it, lol

Taking a cold shower is a great thing to do not only will it wake your body up but it will get your mind to withstand being uncomfortable. It’s easy to take a warm shower you feel more relaxed and comfortable. People are scared to be uncomfortable these days. People are scared to take risks. Little things like a simple cold shower can improve your confidence, improve your attitude, improve your life. It teaches you I don’t need to take the shortcut or do something the easy way. I’m going to challenge myself with every opportunity I get put in front of me. Hope all of you make your dreams a reality. God Bless you all.

Ive been smoking weed all my life, ive been on suboxone(opiate maintenance med thats harder to get off than heroin) After 24 days i have little to no desire to smoke weed. After day 24 i had forgotten to take my suboxone for 6 days, it took six days to feel the withdrawals. I am now able to cut down easy! Im almost free. Im a much happier person, i actually have confidence now. I thank god that i came across this man! Thank you Wim Hoff

I used to smoke 3-4 cigarettes per day. I started doing WHM about a week ago and I don't have the need to smoke. I am serious.

Two years ago I was so depressed and felt very lost in many ways. And all it took was taking cold showers in whichever the season or the weather, also swimming nearly everyday in the sea in winter. I found peace, bravery and happiness, It helped me tidy up my jumbled mind and pushed me to be a better version of myself. Once you START doing something good, the next thing that you need in your life will come, it is an uncontrollable beautiful succession.

Give this man a Nobel Prize for medicine! He promotes health, sanity, and personal responsibility.

Wim Hof is the greatest personality of 21th century. His method is so simple, but the most ingenious thing you can do in and with your life.

Wim Hof you just made me cry. I needed to hear this today. You are an absolute godsend. Thankyou for saving me and for making me feel alive again.

I started this breathing 2 years ago and haven't been ill since.

I believe singing has a similar effect on your brain. Notice how when you jump in cold water, you can easily let out high pitches. As an experienced classical singer and voice teacher, we use this ice-water feeling sometimes to help people engage breathing muscles on their highest notes. Basic breathing for singing involves taking a yawny breath, and gently trying to keep that position while you sing. You imagine you're still inhaling to sing. Singing is also primal and good for you mentally and physically. Sing! 🎶

This guy is a true reminder about the connection we have with our body. A connection we tend to ignore but which is more important than most of the things in life.

This method is changing my life! I'm only two days in and I'm happier than ever! His breathing method actually obliterated any anxiety and depression I was experiencing!! All I can say is wow! I will recommend this to everyone I can! There is hope for mental health naturally 🙂

‘A man is not able to endure 30 years of mockery without this belief’. You are so appreciated. I am with you on this journey every day. I have some pain free periods every day thanks to your breathwork/cold exposure teaching. With deep gratitude 🙏

I am a man of 71 and accidentally found your video and started practicing it for safety sake in these times of covid.To my surprise it improved my oxygen level and after less than a fortnight of doing it I can hold my breath for more than one minute that seemed impossible before.My next stop is cold showers.Thanks a lot.

The HEART already knows EVERYTHING....It’s our heads that trip us up...

for me the WIM HOF method is really wonderful, but the real meaning of life is to know our creator and love our neighbor as ourselves! Be thankful !

I tried this yesterday, all of the swelling in my fingers from psoriatic arthritis is gone. I can wear a ring we should only go over top part of my finger. No swelling in my fingers whatsoever amazing.

It looks similar with Ancient Indian Transcendental Yogic Meditation !! Happy to see people like him reinventing it and helping mankind finding real happiness.

Wim hoff ideas helped me forever leave all cravings for intoxicating substances. Thank you Wim!

This man saved my life 💯. Cannot send enough blessings his way ❤️❤️❤️

I think the premise is to embrace discomfort, physically and mentally. This discomfort wakes us up.

Yoguis have been saying this for thousands of years. This breathing technique is called Bhastrika, and Yoguis have been doing this and other more advanced breathing techniques in the Himalayas living in ice-cold weather year-round almost without clothing.....thousands of years ago....but Wim Hof is to be congratulated by bringing this to the light of science. What he teaches is not new, but submitting himself to tests and studies is bold, courageous and a great service to humanity.

Wanna know what is happiness ? No or little debt! Good sleep, a meal at the end of the day, someone to talk to that cares whether it be a spouse, mom, gramma a friend. Being content with what you have. Maintaining good health for as long as possible but accepting that eventually we will get sick and pass. All this defines happiness to me.

i feel vibrations when i listen to him speak along to this music. i feel as if im on the precipice of connecting with what we are all ment to connect to connect to. My conviction was weak... but these past few days ive found the strength that I was missing. i wish all of you, my brothers and sisters the best of luck on this Journey were all sharing. when you feel as if you have nothing more to give remember i am there. you may have all the energy you need. we are infinite.

“You are the book, you gotta open up... “ Wim Hof

"You can not find it in the books. You are the book. You got to open up and begin to read, to be conscious of what you have inside you..." so beautiful.

I dig this guy. Everyday we get further away from feeling and knowing our own bodies and mind. That is why society is in shambles.... people are puppets to what’s all around us.. go into the forest and walk bare foot and just sit down and breath and listen and feel.... touch the ground and the rocks ... we weren’t meant to live like this... it’s a lonely life

20 mins.... my allergies! My anxiety! GONE! OMG! I did it! I own my new life to one GREAT! MR. Will Huf... I can't thank this guy enuf....

1:35 I balled my eyes out, all my emotions I’ve been suppressing surfaced. We are born and that means we are complete, you are entitled to life and happiness.

This guy saved my life ....I wish I had discovered him decades ago ....this will change your life for the better I promise you

We already have all the answers, we just need to listen closely to our deeper self. This is only one of the things our body's toolbox have, we just need to have the thirst of getting to know better this complex machine we use every day and sometimes forget about or ignore, which is sad. Let's stop accepting everything we think we know, and simply explore and enjoy this journey with every aspect that comes with. PS: imagine your body as something that you received as a rental, and that you will need to take care of it, daily (love it, respect it, then washing, meditating, keeping the stress as low as possible, staying happy, taking care of your health etc.) but yet you enjoy it, so again, take care of it, it's precious.

Who else practices his method daily .. i started just for fun and now I am addicted. I can hold my breath for 2 mins easily now and My focus has improved.. my workout has improved.. I don’t get angry .. I observe deeply .. do it.. it’s on his channel.

Had heart surgery 3 years ago. My arteries were clogged and my 02 level was dangerously low. Wim's method came to my attention. I started it and can tell you it works and I've been doing it single day since twice a day.

This man is the key for us to get back to who were supposed to be

How can you turn a true raw informative interview into a dreamy drippy hollywood kind of video shit with marketing clips and “epic” music as a background. It is a plague on youtube these days

Proof of how much we limit ourselves with what’s “”possible”” and “”impossible””

"You cannot find it in a book, you are the book, you must open up"

Only been doing the breathing techniques for three days with warm to cold showers. I do the breathing techniques 3 times a day for 3 rounds each time. On the third day I had done my normal breathing exercise and went straight under the shower, I started a bit warm then after washing myself I put on the cold water without hesitation. This time I didn’t feel so cold and I didn’t get that shock when the cold water hit me, I felt at peace but also confused as normally I would hyperventilate and not be able to cope. I suffered a lot from anxiety and depression for many years trying to figure out how to fix it with multi vitamins, cbd oils and nootropics but they never worked for me. Doing wim hof and regular exercise is only thing that has changed me for the better, also make sure to stay hydrated and eat good food! This is the only thing that’s worked so far and I recommend everyone to put this into practice. I’ll carry on doing this for the rest of my life!

I'm so happy he shared his story and taught us this ! It will be one year in December I've been doing his breathing method and cold showers every morning and I've never been more happy and healthier before ! I will do this for the rest of my life , thanks Wim hoff

i wish i could run away from society and learn from him (just for a while) on the soul searching path

I have to admit. I just did 3 cycles of his breathing so that I was holding my breath for 2.5 minutes by the last cycle. On the first cycle, I hated it. Now, however, I feel so very good. Like all my burdens are easier to bear. I am very surprised. This feeling is addictive. I actually have to stop myself from going to do it all again.

I started the breathing a couple of days ago, apparently my husband said I am now doing deep breathing in my sleep and my dreams have become very lucid, where I am travelling through space, it seemed so real, yet I knew it was a dream, very strange.

You are most inspirational guy Mr. Wof. Tq for inspiring the world, the intellectuals, the enthusiasts.

Keep pushing never quit! Yeah it’s easy to say but the only way to the other side is pushing and never giving up!

I quit heavy doses of 3 medications and JUUL in 3 weeks using WHM. I am finally free of my addictions for the first time in six years.

Hey I'm a huge skeptic okay. But this is my experience so far. Tried it 2 days ago after watching Win Hof on the Joe Rogen Experience Podcast. Had no idea of it "taking only two days" I actually expected it to take years but... First day I was a little uncomfortable because I hate the feeling of blood rushing in my body I guess. Always hated blood pressure machines, holding my breath that type of stuff. But. I did it. And then yesterday I did it with a cold shower. And now today I feeeeeel great much more positive, better energy overall. I can't explain it. Then I just saw this video of him saying it takes two days and I was like wow its dead on. So idk imma keep doing it we'll see how it goes...

To me books changed my whole perspective of life,including his books too.

Love This Thank You!!

Listening to Wim. What he is saying is so real "in with positivity, out with negativity" your some man 👍🙌🌟

I started breathing 28 years ago and haven’t died since

Anybody with questions, just look into Wim Hof breathing and cold therapy. It will change u if u actually do it! Enjoy! And thank you Wim Hof and this channel for spreading the word.

Conor Mcgreggor looks so much older after his fight with khabib damn.

It's for a breathing technique it says it at the end of the video " link in description " if you don't listen you won't hear, stay awake people.

Great vid,been doing this 4 2yrs,and i am happy healthy vibrantly alive fr,thnx wim!!!

"A man is not able to endure 30 years of mockery if he hasn't got this belief you know..." That words, man... NOW WE KNOW how harsh has been his journey and I feel soooo grateful of him not giving up!

"Its time we take this intelligence and we go within." this is such an important concept everyone should know put into one sentence.

Breath. Read, that’s his conviction. Oh and shower in cold water !

This man is amazing telling us the reality.

This is called real motivation...🙏

This guy and David Goggins are very similar. They found and experienced the mind-body connection. Looking up to such people and living their experience with ourselves truly makes life worth living. Thank you.

“You cannot find it in the book, you are the book, so open up and read” that boew my mind 🤯🤯

I've already been bathing in cold water on purpose before watching this video and it's quite helpful to maintain longer focus when I study.

I am lying here in a ice cold bath after doing 17 minutes of breathing & breath hold, so 20 minutes now. Snow ice & Not shivering, trying the to fix my broken brain (& not throw myself off a cliff either) . I think Won Hof might b able to save me, help change my life. Started only this year - going to do it for a half hour a day (breathing) not the ice - my toes are starting to hurt lol

God bless you,Wim!Thank you for everything!

Thank you with all my heart i am so grateful to have found you. I was diagnosed with Functional Neurological Disorder manifesting in seizures partial paralysis and the list goes on. I luckily started this and i have truly started to feel amazing........many are in wheelchairs with this condition. .........again thank you :)

I’ve been doing the cold shower thing in and off for years an art instructor in college told me about it, then just this week this guy pops up in my recommended and I laid down and did the breathing as he instructed along with him, and I got the most insane body high and was astonished at how long I could go without breathing. There were colors I was seeing on my eyelids and a very very strange (to me) sense of absolute relaxation and body awareness I didn’t think possible. And it was my first go at it. I was skeptical but it worked so well that when I came out of it I felt in touch with myself like never before. This guy has shown me something so simple yet so amazing that I can do. I struggled to hold breath for 50 seconds before and doing this I hit almost 2 minutes in what felt like 20 seconds. This shit takes you somewhere. Genius.

Just watched this brilliant man on the Aubrey Marcus Podcast! What a rare soul❤️❤️❤️

Basically do the Wim Hof breathing technique Exhale (not all the way, just get some oxygen out) Inhale a breath that fills your belly, then your chest, then your head with oxygen Rinse and repeat 20-30-40 times each set and try to do it for a few sets Then take cold showers Start by lowering the cold in your shower gradually if you're taking hot showers, then go to finishing your showers fully cold, then try to go to coldish to cold, then fully cold There you go , saved your precious time, now feel free to do what I said with that time =]

Respect to this man !!!!!!!

Wim Hof is a legend. He pushes boundries for what we think human bodies can do

This man is an Amazing person.

I think I missed it somewhere but do what for 2 days? Edit: just googled it. Thanks guys!

Pranayam or deep breathing techniques have been taught and practiced in India since 3000 years. You tune yourself in with the cosmos, like a radio. It's must be pretty good to last that long.

London Real interviews are great

I LOVE YOU WIN HOF , BEST METHOD

4:00 is how I normally think. We're literally drowning in information yet have so little knowledge.

I have strong feeling the majority is never going to know who Wim Hof is and his techniques. However in a few generations everyone will know him great dead people are known today. And his techniques will elevate mankind into a new tier

You're the best !! I will make it my mission today to think that way..going within... you're a God send. Thank you.

one of his best speaks ever. This Vid will survive a looooong time and will help a lot of people to find the right way...Thx WIM

Brilliant edit. Your best work yet. I am going to share this with my family.

Plz don't stop Making videos they really help

Worth watching!

“What is the real purpose of life, you can not read it in a book, you are the book, you have to open it up” Wow! What a great quote

I feel exactly what he is saying. These are the real heros of my world.

Thank you Wim.

They say when plotting revenge: built two coffins.

This channel, along with other video motivational advice channels make my day, day by day. Keep it up! 😁 😃

This guy looks like he could be the voice of that guy that says "DRAGON BORN" *cues Skyrim music*

This man chokes me up as much as Alan Watts, I avoided Wim for years because i hated the cold, but it turns out he's saying everything I ever wanted. Therefore, it's archetypal that I wanted to avoid it so much, and so I have no choice but to do it

Wim Hof thank you so much

I have been practicing his techniques for a while and I love it and recommend to people all the time :) thanks for sharing. Peace

4:16 I actually felt deeply sad when he said this. Since I've been seriously ill (6months now) I neglected technology. The smarthphone, the computers, TV, suddenly all of it had so little meaning to me! I even broke my smartphone because of of my agressive nature and I barely miss it. I use a regular Phone now with which I can only SMS and call and play snake. I almost shed a tear when I saw those images of lifting and running, two things I loved to do but can't anymore. Doing all I can to get better again and technology will never get a hold of me again. It's time to dump this shit and travel within. Time to go back to nature.

my life is beginning to change and its thanks to wim

That was amazing! Thoroughly enjoyed that. Thanks🤘

Naziha Ikan Kippenvel🥶 Prachtige woorden❤ Dankjewel Wim🙏

This is Conor Mcgreggor speaking 15 years from now, finally a humbled and reflective man.

He simply made PRANAYAMA & MEDITATION into his own Wim hof's breathing technique 🤷‍♀️.

No doubt that this man has digested some of the books from Indian origin.🇮🇳 We , Indians have been practising these from ages for more than many thousands of years by cycles of breathing techniques, yoga and meditation 🧘‍♂️ As westerners think, yoga is not just physical exercise, it has a meditative and spiritual core. 🙏🏻

Superior things itself can not be described simply by words. People usually find it easier to choose side: good or bad; black or white; right of left ... but it is never that simple. Blessed are those who can comprehend that simple thing

if you find in yourself, what it means to be human, that is all that we need. We were not meant to be superhuman. It has only been society that tells us that we ‘need’ to be more, have more, so that they can sell us more stuff and products. The answer is inside of us, each one of us. As Dr Gabor Maté says, when we can look compassionately at our own pain, and how our lives have developed to cope with it, then we can begin to let it go.
