How To Do Wim Hof Breathing - Tom Rowland Podcast April Challenge

April Challenges (plural) have been announced! This time there will be 2 challenges.

The 100 Day Burpee Challenge

We will do the 100 day Burpee challenge. This one is easy to explain. On April 1, drop and do 1 burpee. On April 2nd, do 2 burpees. Continue adding a burpee a day for 100 days.

The Wim Hof 40 Day Quarantine Challenge

We will also join in on the Wim Hof 40 Day Quarantine Challenge. I have written about Wim Hof quite a bit here and have been doing the daily breathing for about 5 years. Notably, I have not been sick in any way since starting this protocol. Previous to starting, I had the flu every year for 3 years prior. I would also get occasional colds. Additionally, performance has improved, most notably in my burpees. I was not able to do 100 burpees in a row despite trying for many years. After about a month of the daily breathing, I did 100 consecutive burpees and set an all time PR. Nothing else was different in my schedule, diet, sleep or training.

My wife thinks it is super weird, some of my friends do as well. I can tell you this though, there is nothing else that I tried once and then kept doing every day afterward. I have received tremendous benefits from this method and I think that everyone should try it. Some may not like it but others will. Maybe it is for you. Try it for 40 days on this challenge and see if it transforms your life, your health and your stress levels.

This breathing method has many more benefits than just performance. I find the breathing method to be an excellent way to relieve stress and an excellent form of meditation. There are a host of other benefits, backed by scientific data. If you are interested in learning even more about it, check out Wim being interviewed by Rich Roll. If that is not enough info for you, you can watch the Vice documentary — in fact, it may be best to watch that documentary first.

Good Luck

Good luck with these challenges! I am sure some will have questions. If so, feel free to contact me at podcast@saltwaterexperience.com.
