DESCRIPTION:
Diet, Exercise, and "Winter Yoga!" Got this book for my birthday, and man has it changed how I view health and the human body in general. It always bugged me in the back of my mind how our ancestors managed to get by without air conditioning and hot showers. When I heard about Wim Hof, I instantly knew that he was on to something with his cold tolerance stuff. Seeing him break the world records, go under scientific scrutiny, and even resist an endotoxin and only get a. CCharj said Highly recommended by a competitive OC6 paddler. Any publication about Wim Hof was recommended by a retired Navy SEAL Master Chief buddy. I picked this book but first started with the audio version. So much I did not realize about the human physiology. Our competitive 6-man outrigger canoe club is studying the breathing method and the wedge. In just a few weeks of practicing this forced breathing method I have noted significant performance increase while participating in this open . Fascinating Read Got this copy so I can share with my friends and have been trying out the method for 2 months now. Inquired to some medical professionals to see on how realistic the methodology is, just in terms of the hyperventilating and what it could do to the pH balance.

Kilimanjaro wearing nothing but a pair of running shorts and sneakers. Those feats of endurance now seem impossible in an age where we take comfort for granted. In the process he chronicles his own transformational journey as he pushes his body and mind to the edge of endurance, a quest that culminates in a record-bending 28-hour climb to the snowy peak of Mt. But what if we could regain some of our lost evolutionary strength by simulating the environmental conditions of our forbears? Investigative journalist and anthropologist Scott Carney takes up the challenge to find out: Can we hack our bodies and use the environment to stimulate our inner biology? Helping him in his search for the answers is Dutch fitness guru Wim Hof, whose ability to control his body temperature in extreme cold has sparked a whirlwind of scientific study. Carney also enlists input from an army scientist, a world-famous surfer, the founders of an obstacle course race movement, and ordinary people who have documented how the
