The Iceman- Wim Hof !

in #life6 years ago (edited)

Yesterday, My father showed me a video with a title called iceman which for sure was interesting, which eventually made me do some research about it and a thought of sharing about it with my steemit family just clicked right away. So, Wim hof is a athlete who is also known as Ice man because he can withstand extreme cold easily. He out to spread the potential health benefits of his breathing techniques, working with scientists around the world to prove that his techniques work.

Okay, This may sound unbelievable but for the record I must tell you that-

1. Hof holds 26 world records, including one for longest ice bath.
2. In 2007 he climbed to 6,700 metres (22,000 ft) altitude at Mount Everest wearing nothing but shorts and shoes, but failed to reach the summit due to a recurring foot injury
3.In 2008 he broke his previous world record by staying immersed in ice for 1 hour, 13 minutes and 48 seconds at Guinness World Records.
4. In 2009 Hof reached the top of Mount Kilimanjaro within two days wearing only shorts.
5. Hof completed a half marathon above the arctic circle in Finland, in temperatures close to −20 °C (−4 °F). Dressed in nothing but shorts, Hof finished in 5 hours and 25 minutes.
6. In 2011 Hof again broke the ice endurance record by standing fully immersed in ice for 1 hour and 44 minutes in Tokyo, Japan.

I guess these many records are more than enough to prove that this guy has got some amazing skills. Now, he is in a mission to spread his skills to entire world, by establishing many academics and youtube tutorials for this amang breathing techniques.
