Self-Healing & Cold Training
Wim Hof is a resident of Holland, who forthe ability to withstand extreme cold is commonly called The Iceman, or "Iceman." He was born on April 20, 1959 in the city of Sittard. In addition to him, the family had eight more children:
six boys and two girls. Now Wim Hof has five children: four from the first marriage and born in 2003
a son from his current wife.
By the time Wim had reached transitional age, he was already running without any special discomfort barefoot in the snow. This was the beginning of a large series of confrontations with the cold, in which each time new limits
of human capabilities were set, surprising the whole world. The longest stay in the ice is not the only record set by Wim Hof. "Ice Man" has 26 Guinness World Records in the most amazing areas.
Thanks to exercises and training, he achieved the following:
In 2007, Wim climbed 6.7 km along the slope of Mount Everest, dressed only in shorts and boots.
To get to the top did not work because of the aggravated old leg injury.
In 2008, he broke his previous world record and hit the Guinness World Records,
having spent 1 hour and 13 minutes and 48 seconds in the ice bath.
In February 2009, Hof in one shorts reached the top of the Kilimanjaro mountain in two days.
In the same year at a temperature close to -20 ° C, Hof completely ran a marathon distance of 42,195 km long,
passing beyond the Arctic Circle in Finland. Dressed only in shorts, he took 5 hours and 25 minutes.
During the test, the operators working for such TV channels as BBC, Channel 4 and National Geographic watched him.
In 2010 and 2011, Hof again broke his own records in the ice bath, his last time: 1 hour 52 minutes and 42 seconds.
In September 2011, Hof completely ran a marathon through the Namibian desert without food or a drop of water.
Half of the marathon distance beyond the Arctic Circle, Wim ran with bare feet and in shorts.
According to official data, Hof swam 66 feet under the ice.
He hung on one finger over a cliff at an altitude of 2000 meters.
All this may seem unrealistic, but as believes Wim Hof, the methodology he proposes is very simple:
"Everyone can learn what I can do." A wellness program called "Activities with Wim Hof"
is attended by a lot of people, mostly retirement age.
Most come to just learn how to lead a healthy lifestyle.
