Not Wim Hof, but during the pandemic I've switched from swimming indoors to outside in a local lake which is a open water swimming spot managed by the council. I switched in the height of the northern summer - so no need for a wetsuit when I started, water was up to 26degC. As the weather has worsened though, the water temperature has gradually declined and I've just kept swimming. Down thorugh 22, 20, 18, 16 and on to 13.8 the other day. I'm finally going to put my wetsuit on, as the other day was VERY intense, but the benefits of being in cold water are incredible. I am an absolute convert. The high is comparable to certain A class drugs, it's the best thing I've done in years, and you get to stay fit as well. |
