The Way of the Ice Man

Introduction

• • • The Wim Hof Method combines breathing exercises, cold training and commitment. The autonomic nervous system regulates things like body temperature, heart rate, blood pressure, breathing and determines whether blood vessels dilate or contract. Everything that automatically happens in the body.

• • To rediscover our physical potential to control the autonomic nervous system, we only need to do two things: breathing exercises and cold training. To do these two things properly, we will need to make a resolute commitment. Breathing exercises, cold training and commitment constitute the Wim Hof Method.
