The Breathing Challenge

Hey everyone,

I love sweets, pizza, burgers and beer but generally, I am also a big health nerd.

The word "drastically" always sounds very aggressive and marketing-ish but if there is anything that seriously drastically has changed my life, it's two things:

Cold showering and breathwork

This week, I wanted to focus a bit on how to breathe. It may sound weird but if we focus on how we breathe it is most of the time not that deep, not relaxed and not with a lot of attention, ... just always enough to not pass out 😂

There is a very specific breathing technique that can change your entire life.

Let's get a moment to figure out how it goes as it is very important to understand the specific but simple steps:

30x breathing in an out, not more than 1-2 seconds per breathe
After the last breath, hold it for 60 secs or longer. If you can't make it to 60 - that's totally cool
Your next breath is a deep inhale, then hold it for 15 seconds
Then start again with 1 and do it for a cycle of three times.

You can of course stop earlier. Tingeling in your finger, oversaturated of oxygen may happen but it's totally ok. If you have doubts, just do 1. with 10 or 20. ALL FINE!

If you are interested in a little guide, Wim Hoff, is THE expert in guiding you through this in one of his videos.

PS: This is not some esoteric bs, it does a lot of positive stuff to your body and it's all related to breathing techniques working for more than 3000 years :)

It's also one of those videos being worth to read the comments.

In case of doubt or if you already have health problems, you may want to check with your doctor.

Did it? Tried it? How did you feel afterwards?
