Some people are normal... They prefer spending their weekends hanging out with friends or getting some household tasks done. Others are a little crazier. They like hopping in their car and driving for hours on end to no particular destination. And then others are flat-out psychotic. They find it fun to run barefoot for miles in sub-zero weather on ice and snow before diving into Arctic waters to see how long they can hold their breath for. Wim Hof is one of these people. Known as The Iceman, Hof is a Dutch extreme athlete known for performing crazy stunts like climbing a 20,000-foot-high mountain in shorts. He also used to hold the Guinness World Record for swimming under ice and for holding his entire body against ice for the longest uninterrupted period of time. So yeah... This guy is pretty crazy. But he attributes most of his insane feats to mastering one simple thing that that we all do constantly: Breathing. He calls it the Wim Hof Method. Here's the Sparknotes version of it: If you can master breathing techniques and mental focus, your mind will become capable of superhuman accomplishments. We know. It Sounds too good to be true. So here's lesson #1. Breathe through your nose. Hof says breathing through your mouth puts additional stress on your body by limiting your oxygen intake while also filling your lungs with too much air. The result? Your body starts to seize up. It's like mini paralysis. And it's why your body hates you after a night of mouth breathing. So if you want to start breaking Guinness World Records for extreme cold endurance, don't start training by taking ice baths and sitting naked in the snow. It's way simpler than that. Just try breathing through your nose consistently. And you'll already be a padawan of the Wim Hof Method. Become superhuman. Start nose-breathing with Hostage Tape.
