This is absolutely brilliant. Thanks for sharing. I saw Ludovico play that song live, brought me to tears lol. Anyway - Have you dabbled w the idea of using anything to Keep the water clean to fight against infection? I saw this one dude put hydrogen peroxide. My father used to ice his feet and didn’t change the water which lead to an infection. It was just a normal cooler tho. Although w the freezer method perhaps the bacteria has a hard time growing because it’s so cold? Thanks man 💪🏻

Notice his facial expressions at the end after the ice bath. The surge of energy and euphoria with also a stillness, he looks like someone who's taken MDMA. (The clubbing ravers know what I'm on about) This is someone 100% getting high on there own supply. I'm starting to see this is the way forward for living a full happy life. There isn't a morning after either. The body provides! Fantastic production quality, really sweet with you and your family. Lovely video.
So well said Matthew and I couldn't agree more. That feeling after the ice bath is unreal. Absolutely fascinating how powerful cold exposure can be to the body and mind. Glad you enjoyed the video and I appreciate you and your kind words. 🙏
Mdma on the high , not on the come down lol. Although it's good for keeping fit at raves , mentally it destroys your brain in the long term. Hopefully Wim Hof method can fix me
You're not only comparing his most carefully curated and we'll placed edits of his life to reality. He could have both hands around his wife's throat and be kicking his dog right now.
Perfect! Nice music,sharp vdo,clear n short words without too much explanation. Motivate me to make the same clip showing my morning routine. Also this clip is quite dramatic with scene happiness in life (which is good). Love it.
You are extraordinary.. a true inspiration to everyone that crosses your path. You have an amazing way of living your life to the fullest and inspiring others to do the same.
My word, you do sooooo much in the morning! Meditation, Wim Hoff breathing, Running up a Mountain, Swimming in the Sea, Skateboarding and taking your family out. Isn't it amazing, you wake up early and you can get so much done before lunchtime 👍😁😊
I too have little people calling "daddddyyyy" while trying to do my breathing haha. Great video. Great inspiration for someone who just started the method.
That's indeed the best sound right there to have little people calling "daddddyyyy" :) Glad you enjoyed the video Jack. All the best to you and your fam. Take care
@Lincoln Colt it's backhanded because I referred to myself as someone who just started the method? For all I know it helps long timers too, but I wouldn't know, because that's not me. If anyone hasn't progressed well it's you, you really try your hardest to find negativity in a very positive compliment.
Hi DrakE, this is a deep chest freezer, often used by hunters, fishers and those who store a lot of food. The outside dimensions are 56 inches wide (142 cm) x 27.5 inches wide (70cm) x 35 inches high (89cm). The volume is about 16 cubic feet. The brand I have is Frigidaire. The new price was $650, I paid $229 at a Home Center Tent sale. If you’re interested in buying one, Craigslist or a local marketplace is a good option, that’s how I found mine. I added more details about this exact setup, making it water proof, replacing the water, etc. See first comment, pinned to the top. Hope that helps. Cheers
I’m also aiming for that! Cold showers where I live are actually warm, so I throw ice buckets over my head every morning. I’m considering investing in one of these fridges! Any idea how they’re called?
@@jxshstoker no idea. I have never seen such a big one in a private home. Personally I don't need one right now because every day I go to work by a lake situated on the top of a hill where it gets freaking cold in winter and I have been swimming there 12 months a year for 2 consecutive years. Yesterday the temperature was close to zero Celsius and I took a morning plunge and lingered in the water for almost 20 min... amazing! But I want more: I am aiming at going to Scandinavia to try a frozen lake
I am addicted to my morning routine, I start my morning with the WH breathing for 30min, followed by 15min meditation. I then like to do some strength yoga before jumping into my cold swimming pool. We are going into winter here in South Africa so the pool gets colder everyday. When summer returns I will need to arrange some ice for my bath but for now the pool is cold enough. It’s always the hardest part getting myself to actually jump into the pool, but once I am in, I also start to feel that feeling of calm. My entire body is awakened and I feel present and alive. I have missed one or two days of this practice and I feel terrible for the entire day. I need my morning routine to function at my best. This fits in beautifully with my mindful living.
@Scott Adam Wow, that's a pretty strange comment, the original post by Floris is also of him sharing his daily routine. Isn't that the whole point of sharing his clip? to engage with others who are on similar journeys. These techniques are very special and its not something one can discuss with just anyone, this platform allows for like minded engagement. but thanks for your comment, I will try and learn something from it.
This guys morning routine: Up at 0458 hours Guided meditation Breathing exercises Journaling Ice Bath My morning routine: Up at 1100 hours Sit on the toilet Coffee UA-cam
I'm not kidding, I had tears in my eyes when I watched this at first. It's my goal for years to become a better person, but I seem like being stuck by just getting up in time. This is a really inspiring video for me. Do you have any advice on how to tackle this problem of sleeping in? I would really appreciate it. Pls take good care of yourself and your family sir. God bless you. Hope you will create much more content that helps people getting their life straight.
I’d recommend drinking a glass of water before you go to sleep. It helps me to get out of bed and start my day because I don’t have a choice I have to pee! Haha also if you have windows leave the curtains open so the light fills your room. It definitely helps to set a routine for yourself. For example get up set the kettle on, bathroom business, have your cup of tea outside, stretch then cold bath or shower. You’ll get used to it after a month or so and it will no longer be a struggle! Hope this helped!
Wow, it's such long time since I've written this comment. I highly appreciate your answer. It's definitely something I'm going to try. I'm really thankful for your reply
Florian E Intermittent fasting is great don’t eat past 8pm and you will be very energised in the morning and as soon as you get up do a meditation or a quick 10 min workout or a walk anything will help it usually helps for me
Floris thank you for this beautiful video. I just discoverez the Wim Hof technique and your video is truly inspiring. I have had my first bath in a really cold mountain stream yesterday, I stayed around 2 minutes and this has been one of my greatest feeling of being alive I have ever felt ! and the tingling in the whole body is really intense. As if the blood vessels were opening up for the first time.
Such an incredible feeling. Glad you got a chance to experience that. Thanks for sharing. Wishing you all the best on your journey with cold exposure. Take your time, gradually building things up, not rushing into things to allow your body and mind to adjust. Cheers
@@fuarkbrah0 Wow...an infection...with an IQ like that, I wonder that you managed to write that word properly... Pain is normal, in areas with an abundance of nerves. When you're over-sensitive you have to work your towards ice from decreasing temp while showering for example. To transform that threshold. Balls are very vulnerable and constantly "warm". If oyu expose them for the first time it hurts, but soon gets overshadowed by the sensations on the rest of the body, so you don't feel it that intense. When I get into a lake in winter my balls and head hurt a lot. But it goes away with training and breathing. I don't have any infections in this areas. It stops after seconds of embracing the cold. An infection...the internet is infected with stupidity. Next time you want to help, pls delete your account!
Man, all i this time I was thinking for a way to have an icebath at home and I never thought of a fucking freezer like yours 😂 thanks for the idea. Could you tell me the model you got (or the capacity? Ill go and buy it straight away 🙏🏻. Ps: great quality video.
Haha, all it takes is a UA-cam video to open your eyes sometimes :) Yes, this is a deep chest freezer, often used by hunters, fishers and those who store a lot of food. The brand is Frigidaire, it's an older model. The outside dimensions are 56 inches wide (142 cm) x 27.5 inches wide (70cm) x 35 inches high (89cm). The volume is about 16 cubic feet. The new price was $650, I paid $229 at a Home Center Tent sale. If you’re interested in buying one, Craigslist is a good option, that’s how I found mine.

Its all cool but like human robot get up 4:58am 10min meditaion 3 min for.this.2,5min ice bath. Do u go to toilet on time.as.well ???sorry for.me.to many things to.remember
Been doing this for that past 8 months and it’s amazing! Feeling alive everyday makes you have true power within yourself! Specially meditating on snow!
hi @FlorisGierman I’m just starting to do ice baths, I have one question- do we need to wear some special material shorts for sensitive sking of the genitalia or normal boxers are good without any problems
Very inspiring! I take cold showers every day, meditate and also run marathons. Starting with the MAF method last week, I am training for the Rotterdam marathon in April 2019.
Can you do a tutorial on your chest freezer setup? Like how you get water in, how often you change the water, keep it clean, how often you keep it plugged in?
Sure thing! This is a deep chest freezer, often used by hunters, fishers and those who store a lot of food. You can buy a tube of waterproof silicone to seal and protect the seams. I used 1 tube of silicone along every seam, let it dry for a day, then added a “Flex Seal” white spray as an additional layer of protection. This freezer is set up in my garage. It is filled up with water using a garden hose, until about 4 inches (10cm) below the top (so it doesn’t overflow when you get in). I plug in the electricity and after about 48 to 72 hours ice will start to form on the sides of the freezer. The temperature of the water is then close to 32 Fahrenheit (0 Celsius). From there I unplug the electricity. You can already use the ice bath with some ice on the wall. Don’t try to hammer the ice from the wall of the freezer, this will damage it. In less than 1 day the ice will come off the wall. You can either take the blocks of ice out, put it on a towel, hammer it and put it back. Or you can use a hammer and ice pick and hammer the ice blocks in the middle of the ice bath. It’s cold, around the freezing point 32 Fahrenheit (0 Celsius). Depending on how much ice is in the bath and the outside temperature, the ice will stay melted for 4 to 6 days, then the water temperature will increase. You simply plug in the electricity again for 12 to 24 hours and new ice will form again. I replace the water every 2 to 3 weeks, cleaning your feet before you get in helps keep it clean longer. You can either empty the bath with a bucket, or a garden hose that you suck on 1 side to get the water flowing, into my driveway. I use a towel to get last water out from the bottom. Hope that helps.
Currently with home school for my 2 kids and full time work, I don't have much time to do this tutorial right, so I wrote down as many details as possible in my first comment, pinned to the top.
NICE !!!! Been doing the same thing since 1996.... I was SO depressed once that I went to buy ice & put it in the bathtub & stayed in there for a Couple of Min. Where did I hear about this..?? My Mind told me to do it ..... 1996 .... The Body Speaks to you IF you LISTEN....
While watching it, I keep worrying about that lid falling down, trapping you in the ice bath while your family is sleeping. Hopefully you have an escape hatch. Also I hope its very locked/protected from curious children. Call me a worry wart, but it is from my 14+ years of working in the toy industry and finding out how accidents happen so easily and unexpectedly. My ice baths are only after 10+ mile runs and don't include getting my upper body wet. I'm probably missing a lot of the healing and meditation benefits.
Chris Brown thank you for sharing your concerns, totally valid. My kids are never in the garage without my wife or I there. They really don’t like the cold, so I feel pretty good about them not getting in. I’ve tested the lid of the freezer a lot, it’s very stable and stays up. I’m typically go only under the ice for a few seconds and have my phone or hammer on the side of the bath so it can’t close completely. Appreciate your comment 🙏

Nice work on the cold showers, that's great cold exposure right there. The brand I have is Frigidaire. The new price was $650, I paid $229 at a Home Center Tent sale. If you’re interested in buying one at steep discounted rates, Craigslist is a good option, that’s how I found mine.
Hey I appreciate your advise thank you! I guess I feel a bit at a disadvantage because I live in public housing and don't have any income but very excited for the future of my family to be able to make myself healthier again despite shortcomings and make better contributions to the world family and friends.
Great morning routine and editing! I loved your edit as you are in ice bath and feeling happy you show having memories of happiness. Then wake up in the ice bath. That is so real
Thanks for sharing your routine. I've been doing cold showers and Wim Hof's breathing method for over a month now, what a major positive difference this has made in my life... I'm working towards daily ice baths but I'm still learning to cope with cold showers at the moment.
Well done on your positive experiments with cold exposure. Take your time with cold showers. I've noticed that patience and gradual build up help the most with consistent habits and positive change in the long term. Wishing you all the best. Thanks for sharing!
Better than french fries and bitterballen in the freezer! Much respect Flo. I already feel calmer, colder, and happier after watching this video. Keep it going!
Fred van Schie haha, we should just combine it all, eating French fries and bitterballen during our next ice bath. Come over anytime to jump in, maybe after one of our upcoming runs! 🙏
Dental Clinic Gopal-dent around 9pm, 9:30pm at the latest. I have 2 young kids and sleep around 7.5 hours per night. Sometimes I head to bed earlier than that
So just out of curiosity....if you get up that early, when do you go to bed? :D I always have that feeling of having accomplished nothing in my day if I come home from work, eat with the family, chill for 1h and go to bed so I can get up super early. I kinda need time in the evening and going to bed before 11 just doesn't work for me at all^^ but yeah....5-6h sleep only also doesn't work :P
It's just a shift of hours to moments in the day that I can be mentally more clear. I go to bed typically around 9pm, sleep 7 to 8 hours. Wake up 4:58am, start work at 5:30am. Get 1.5 to 2 hours of deep work done before the kids get up. Sleep is indeed definitely key :P
Great video. I noticed you breathe a lot through your mouth though. Maybe a coincidence, maybe a habit. Buteyko method + Wim Hof is a perfect combination, research it! Love
That is totally correct, you have to ice bathing minimum until your neck into the water! Do you still do this actually? I do this since october 2021, i started with 15 degrees celsius and now i do this near to every day in ouer winter by round about 1 to 4 degrees now. My friend has an own little lake only 6 km away from my home and its great to practice this "sports" You can see on my videos. Love and greetings from germany, Jörg
I've been taking cold showers only since 1990.. I live in canada COLD... is it ok to just jump in a ice bath for 1 min. to start off and build to 3 min.?

Taaa kolejny co wstaje o 5 rano pełen energii... Już oglądałem film co gość zaczynał swój typowy dzień o 2;30. Ale nie wiem czy słyszał o czymś takim jak rytm dobowy.
Those 2 and half minuts should go up to at least 5.. at least some of the beneficts only come after the first 3 min in such as the response from your white blood cells wich help increase the eficency of your imune system
Thank you for sharing this Floris, it's very inspirational. I'm on my third week of daily cold showers and Wims breathing method and I feel better than I have in years.
Is 15 minutes to much? Lol that what I normally do. And I'm not pushing myself to much. I love it. I just see alot of people only doing like 2 or 3 minutes
Yes I am most mornings. Sometimes after a hard running day or later night, I want more sleep and I don't set an alarm. Typically I then wake up at 6am. If I wake up later than that, the kids wake up. Then I meditate together with them, I skip the 5 minute journal & breathing, then I ice bath after breakfast around 8am. But yes, trying to follow this routine as much as I can.
Great! Congrats! What time you go to bed? I usually feel sleepy at 7-8 PM , but noonevelse thinks its normal…. So I go to bed later and not always sleep well, and always too short. But I take every day very cold showers (6 C) for 4 min plus in the morning, few times a week Wim Hof breathing ex. , and Tae Bo basic.
I just started with deep breathing and it is so crazy. Never could imagine what can happen with the right breathing! Your morning routine is awesome, thanks for sharing :)!
Your doing great buddy! I believe you have adorable kids and a beautiful family.. Wish you a good day and good life. All the love All the power 😌🙏🏼🇳🇱 🇸🇾
Thank you so much for this I sat in a cold.tub im beginning this journey a.d.will build a plunge in my new place and till then sit in a cold tub no more procrastination
I am a new subscriber! Was recommended from watching wim hof ‘s 61 birthday video, 61 mins in the ice bath!! How/when do you prepare your ice bath? It looked as though it was in a deep freezer, but how does that work? Is both water and ice in there and how does the water not freeze?

Thanks for sharing! I've done the Wim Hof method before taking cold showers. The mental side can be difficult to overcome. Nice job with the ice baths.
Brother God is real! You don’t need to do such rituals. Jesus can set you free, peace joy and long suffering from believing in the son of God. . Brother what you are searching for in these rituals is what you will TRULY find in the lord Jesus, he is good and gives you ETERNAL LIFE! God so loved the world that he gave his only son that whoever believes in him shall not go to hell but have everlasting life in heaven! Brother call out to Jesus and see your life change!
I would also love to do that shit but my nervous system can't handle it. Tried many times instead of a good feeling I get depressed, dizzy, confused, panic, total apathic. Weird how cold temperatures change the mind. Heavy stuffs
I currently do the Wim Hof breathing techniques followed by a cold shower every morning... I have my hot baths at night... I'm planning on doing an ice bath once a week, when would be the best time to do it ??? Do I replace one of my cold showers with an ice bath in the morning ???? Do I replace my hot bath at night with an ice bath ???? Do I have my hot bath followed by an ice bath or vice versa ????
Thanks for all the positive feedback!

Thank you so much Shoshana. I'm so glad our paths have crossed. Hope you and your family are all well. Take care! 🙏
My word, you do sooooo much in the morning!
Meditation, Wim Hoff breathing, Running up a Mountain, Swimming in the Sea, Skateboarding and taking your family out.
Isn't it amazing, you wake up early and you can get so much done before lunchtime 👍😁😊
I too have little people calling "daddddyyyy" while trying to do my breathing haha. Great video. Great inspiration for someone who just started the method.
Jack Dougherty haha I have to lock my bedroom door while I do it because someone will waltz in every time 😆
Same here, i lock my bedroom's door to avoid getting interrupted by my two toddlers jumping on me 🤣
That's indeed the best sound right there to have little people calling "daddddyyyy" :) Glad you enjoyed the video Jack. All the best to you and your fam. Take care
@Lincoln Colt it's backhanded because I referred to myself as someone who just started the method? For all I know it helps long timers too, but I wouldn't know, because that's not me. If anyone hasn't progressed well it's you, you really try your hardest to find negativity in a very positive compliment.
Some tips for having my own freezer at home? In my county the climate is very hot so i need one of those.
Hi DrakE, this is a deep chest freezer, often used by hunters, fishers and those who store a lot of food. The outside dimensions are 56 inches wide (142 cm) x 27.5 inches wide (70cm) x 35 inches high (89cm). The volume is about 16 cubic feet. The brand I have is Frigidaire. The new price was $650, I paid $229 at a Home Center Tent sale. If you’re interested in buying one, Craigslist or a local marketplace is a good option, that’s how I found mine.
I added more details about this exact setup, making it water proof, replacing the water, etc. See first comment, pinned to the top. Hope that helps. Cheers
@black panther you regulate the temperature to be just above freezing point.
and as long as you can make sure that water doesn't hit the electricity(wiring or plug), then having water in there is not a problem.
Unplug it, from a GFI, before you're in it and plug it back in after the bath. Done.
Aww the end was so cute
thank you :D
The editing while under water... great job!
You have an amazing family & life, keep it up man!
I appreciate that! It was a lot of fun making this video. Seeing these positive responses makes me want to create more.
I have been taking cold showers for two years and I never catch a cold. Your ice bath is the next level....that I am aiming at
I’m also aiming for that! Cold showers where I live are actually warm, so I throw ice buckets over my head every morning. I’m considering investing in one of these fridges! Any idea how they’re called?
@@jxshstoker no idea. I have never seen such a big one in a private home. Personally I don't need one right now because every day I go to work by a lake situated on the top of a hill where it gets freaking cold in winter and I have been swimming there 12 months a year for 2 consecutive years. Yesterday the temperature was close to zero Celsius and I took a morning plunge and lingered in the water for almost 20 min... amazing! But I want more: I am aiming at going to Scandinavia to try a frozen lake
@@jxshstoker bars and restaurants have those large freezers. I've got to ask the bar near my house where they buy those
Is 2 minutes enough ?? 😮
@@Medinalegend should be...but I stay longer
I’m so grateful that you’re doing this for yourself so that you’re an awesome father and husband
What a great leader you are
I am addicted to my morning routine, I start my morning with the WH breathing for 30min, followed by 15min meditation. I then like to do some strength yoga before jumping into my cold swimming pool. We are going into winter here in South Africa so the pool gets colder everyday. When summer returns I will need to arrange some ice for my bath but for now the pool is cold enough. It’s always the hardest part getting myself to actually jump into the pool, but once I am in, I also start to feel that feeling of calm. My entire body is awakened and I feel present and alive. I have missed one or two days of this practice and I feel terrible for the entire day. I need my morning routine to function at my best. This fits in beautifully with my mindful living.
@Scott Adam Wow, that's a pretty strange comment, the original post by Floris is also of him sharing his daily routine. Isn't that the whole point of sharing his clip? to engage with others who are on similar journeys. These techniques are very special and its not something one can discuss with just anyone, this platform allows for like minded engagement. but thanks for your comment, I will try and learn something from it.
Hey John, that's awesome man. Well done. Fellow South African. Ignore @Scott.
Could you tell me about wf breathing?
Well done on finding a morning routine that works well for you John and thank you for sharing. Wishing you much health and happiness.
@Scott Adam I wish you the best on overcoming your anger and keeping calm!
This guys morning routine:
Up at 0458 hours
Guided meditation
Breathing exercises
Journaling
Ice Bath

I'm not kidding, I had tears in my eyes when I watched this at first. It's my goal for years to become a better person, but I seem like being stuck by just getting up in time. This is a really inspiring video for me. Do you have any advice on how to tackle this problem of sleeping in? I would really appreciate it.
Pls take good care of yourself and your family sir. God bless you. Hope you will create much more content that helps people getting their life straight.
I’d recommend drinking a glass of water before you go to sleep. It helps me to get out of bed and start my day because I don’t have a choice I have to pee! Haha also if you have windows leave the curtains open so the light fills your room. It definitely helps to set a routine for yourself. For example get up set the kettle on, bathroom business, have your cup of tea outside, stretch then cold bath or shower. You’ll get used to it after a month or so and it will no longer be a struggle! Hope this helped!
Wow, it's such long time since I've written this comment. I highly appreciate your answer. It's definitely something I'm going to try. I'm really thankful for your reply
Florian E Intermittent fasting is great don’t eat past 8pm and you will be very energised in the morning and as soon as you get up do a meditation or a quick 10 min workout or a walk anything will help it usually helps for me
Floris thank you for this beautiful video. I just discoverez the Wim Hof technique and your video is truly inspiring. I have had my first bath in a really cold mountain stream yesterday, I stayed around 2 minutes and this has been one of my greatest feeling of being alive I have ever felt ! and the tingling in the whole body is really intense. As if the blood vessels were opening up for the first time.
Such an incredible feeling. Glad you got a chance to experience that. Thanks for sharing. Wishing you all the best on your journey with cold exposure. Take your time, gradually building things up, not rushing into things to allow your body and mind to adjust. Cheers
How do you get past the pain in your scrotum? I can't take it. Everything else is "fine", but the pain down there when the cold hits is unbearable..
See a doctor. There should be no pain unless there's an infection
@@fuarkbrah0 Wow...an infection...with an IQ like that, I wonder that you managed to write that word properly...
Pain is normal, in areas with an abundance of nerves. When you're over-sensitive you have to work your towards ice from decreasing temp while showering for example. To transform that threshold. Balls are very vulnerable and constantly "warm". If oyu expose them for the first time it hurts, but soon gets overshadowed by the sensations on the rest of the body, so you don't feel it that intense.
When I get into a lake in winter my balls and head hurt a lot. But it goes away with training and breathing. I don't have any infections in this areas. It stops after seconds of embracing the cold.
An infection...the internet is infected with stupidity. Next time you want to help, pls delete your account!

You have a beautiful family, my friend. I’m thankful that I found this video. I wish you strength and happiness. Good day!
Do you only do the ice bath for 2 and 1/2 minutes or do you go back in multiple times?
Thank you for posting the video. Please tell me what size freezer you're using? Thanks!
yes it's a deep chest ice freezer. I'll make a How to video for this soon and post here on my UA-cam channel. Cheers!
Also doing ice baths. This freezer looks great!
Floris Gierman still going to?
This is beautiful mate. Much love to you!
Thanks Luke, much love right back at ya!
Man, all i this time I was thinking for a way to have an icebath at home and I never thought of a fucking freezer like yours 😂 thanks for the idea. Could you tell me the model you got (or the capacity? Ill go and buy it straight away 🙏🏻. Ps: great quality video.
Knowing my luck I'd forget to unplug it before I got in! :/
Haha, all it takes is a UA-cam video to open your eyes sometimes :) Yes, this is a deep chest freezer, often used by hunters, fishers and those who store a lot of food. The brand is Frigidaire, it's an older model. The outside dimensions are 56 inches wide (142 cm) x 27.5 inches wide (70cm) x 35 inches high (89cm). The volume is about 16 cubic feet. The new price was $650, I paid $229 at a Home Center Tent sale. If you’re interested in buying one, Craigslist is a good option, that’s how I found mine.
I added some more details about how to make it waterproof etc to the first pinned comment. Hope that helps.
yeh @thehalokidster, I'd definitely make that an important check on the checklist before going in!
Its all cool but like human robot get up 4:58am 10min meditaion 3 min for.this.2,5min ice bath.
Do u go to toilet on time.as.well ???sorry for.me.to many things to.remember
We all have different approaches Robert, I'm just sharing mine and it's not for everyone. Take care mate
WATCH “Fall Cabal Documentary"
AND “Out of Shadows Official” !!
Please tell me more, why should I watch this Claudius, you've commented this now a few times without any additional info
at 1:21 I am guessing the ice bath is preparation for what is to come?
Been doing this for that past 8 months and it’s amazing! Feeling alive everyday makes you have true power within yourself! Specially meditating on snow!
Wow well done Mantra, keep it up! 🙌
hi @FlorisGierman I’m just starting to do ice baths, I have one question- do we need to wear some special material shorts for sensitive sking of the genitalia or normal boxers are good without any problems
2 minutes is enough ?
3 minutes/ day is enough ?? 😮😮😮
Very inspiring! I take cold showers every day, meditate and also run marathons. Starting with the MAF method last week, I am training for the Rotterdam marathon in April 2019.
Frank Bruining nice work on starting with MAF training for your upcoming marathon, that can make a huge difference. Keep it all up!
Floris Gierman Thanks! I think I am going to use your Boston training plan and adjust it to sub 3.30
Can you do a tutorial on your chest freezer setup? Like how you get water in, how often you change the water, keep it clean, how often you keep it plugged in?
Like a video on your comment would be dope!
Sure thing! This is a deep chest freezer, often used by hunters, fishers and those who store a lot of food. You can buy a tube of waterproof silicone to seal and protect the seams. I used 1 tube of silicone along every seam, let it dry for a day, then added a “Flex Seal” white spray as an additional layer of protection.
This freezer is set up in my garage. It is filled up with water using a garden hose, until about 4 inches (10cm) below the top (so it doesn’t overflow when you get in). I plug in the electricity and after about 48 to 72 hours ice will start to form on the sides of the freezer. The temperature of the water is then close to 32 Fahrenheit (0 Celsius). From there I unplug the electricity. You can already use the ice bath with some ice on the wall. Don’t try to hammer the ice from the wall of the freezer, this will damage it. In less than 1 day the ice will come off the wall. You can either take the blocks of ice out, put it on a towel, hammer it and put it back. Or you can use a hammer and ice pick and hammer the ice blocks in the middle of the ice bath.
It’s cold, around the freezing point 32 Fahrenheit (0 Celsius). Depending on how much ice is in the bath and the outside temperature, the ice will stay melted for 4 to 6 days, then the water temperature will increase. You simply plug in the electricity again for 12 to 24 hours and new ice will form again.
I replace the water every 2 to 3 weeks, cleaning your feet before you get in helps keep it clean longer. You can either empty the bath with a bucket, or a garden hose that you suck on 1 side to get the water flowing, into my driveway. I use a towel to get last water out from the bottom.
Hope that helps.
Currently with home school for my 2 kids and full time work, I don't have much time to do this tutorial right, so I wrote down as many details as possible in my first comment, pinned to the top.
@@FlorisGierman I cannot even imagine! Thank you for replying to my comment & so many others!!
NICE !!!! Been doing the same thing since 1996.... I was SO depressed once that I went to buy ice & put it in the bathtub & stayed in there for a Couple of Min. Where did I hear about this..?? My Mind told me to do it ..... 1996 .... The Body Speaks to you IF you LISTEN....
Well done Mario, keep listening to your body! All the best
Imagine walking in on a naked dude im a freezer full of icy water at 5:30 am. How awkward.
still wearing shorts in it
love the last part "daddyyyyy"
haha, same here! I replayed it more than once during the editing :)
This gives my inspiration
While watching it, I keep worrying about that lid falling down, trapping you in the ice bath while your family is sleeping. Hopefully you have an escape hatch. Also I hope its very locked/protected from curious children. Call me a worry wart, but it is from my 14+ years of working in the toy industry and finding out how accidents happen so easily and unexpectedly.
My ice baths are only after 10+ mile runs and don't include getting my upper body wet. I'm probably missing a lot of the healing and meditation benefits.
Chris Brown Modern chest freezers don’t have locks. He’s fine.
Thanks! Good to know!
@@ericlancaster2889
Chris Brown thank you for sharing your concerns, totally valid. My kids are never in the garage without my wife or I there. They really don’t like the cold, so I feel pretty good about them not getting in.
I’ve tested the lid of the freezer a lot, it’s very stable and stays up. I’m typically go only under the ice for a few seconds and have my phone or hammer on the side of the bath so it can’t close completely. Appreciate your comment 🙏
Thanks! @@FlorisGierman
How much does that freezer cost ?
@2:45 happy hormone overload!
100% best feeling right there :)
The real question though... is that an ice bath or did you just fill up your fridge freezer lol.
Hey man that was great! you have a beautiful family bless you!
I appreciate that! 🙏
What do you use for the icebath ? Is that a freezer ? And how many ice weight u put in ?

Wish I could afford that Ice Bath. Been cold showering alot, Wondering how I will be able consistenly Ice bath.
Nice work on the cold showers, that's great cold exposure right there. The brand I have is Frigidaire. The new price was $650, I paid $229 at a Home Center Tent sale. If you’re interested in buying one at steep discounted rates, Craigslist is a good option, that’s how I found mine.
Hey I appreciate your advise thank you! I guess I feel a bit at a disadvantage because I live in public housing and don't have any income but very excited for the future of my family to be able to make myself healthier again despite shortcomings and make better contributions to the world family and friends.
You seem very cool.
Ice bath is way easier than cold shower somehow
Great morning routine and editing! I loved your edit as you are in ice bath and feeling happy you show having memories of happiness. Then wake up in the ice bath. That is so real
Incredible Video, exceptionally well shot and edited!
Glad you enjoyed it Josh, I had a fun time trying some ideas with my new camera. Cheers!

surely does to does who are open to it

@@michealbolling3949 You're on early bird!
@@FlorisGierman Hi, what time you go to bed? How many hrs of sleep?
Dental Clinic Gopal-dent around 9pm, 9:30pm at the latest. I have 2 young kids and sleep around 7.5 hours per night. Sometimes I head to bed earlier than that
So just out of curiosity....if you get up that early, when do you go to bed? :D I always have that feeling of having accomplished nothing in my day if I come home from work, eat with the family, chill for 1h and go to bed so I can get up super early. I kinda need time in the evening and going to bed before 11 just doesn't work for me at all^^ but yeah....5-6h sleep only also doesn't work :P
It's just a shift of hours to moments in the day that I can be mentally more clear. I go to bed typically around 9pm, sleep 7 to 8 hours. Wake up 4:58am, start work at 5:30am. Get 1.5 to 2 hours of deep work done before the kids get up. Sleep is indeed definitely key :P
Your video is so good and underated man stay focused and motivated
What’s good about it? I thought it was totally pointless.
Great video. I noticed you breathe a lot through your mouth though. Maybe a coincidence, maybe a habit. Buteyko method + Wim Hof is a perfect combination, research it! Love
You’re involved in a great feat of self worship, good job.
I honestly thought this was a joke parody .... but then it wasn’t... it was very serious... WTF?? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I came here jus to no what a ice bath is for and got motivated to change my life n overall health. Thank u sir
That is totally correct, you have to ice bathing minimum until your neck into the water! Do you still do this actually? I do this since october 2021, i started with 15 degrees celsius and now i do this near to every day in ouer winter by round about 1 to 4 degrees now. My friend has an own little lake only 6 km away from my home and its great to practice this "sports" You can see on my videos. Love and greetings from germany, Jörg
Love this Floris, the complete calm you display is amazing! I’ve been practicing a bit with cold showers and cold baths, but not with ice just yet…
I've been taking cold showers only since 1990.. I live in canada COLD... is it ok to just jump in a ice bath for 1 min. to start off and build to 3 min.?

Thank you for sharing this Floris, it's very inspirational. I'm on my third week of daily cold showers and Wims breathing method and I feel better than I have in years.
Wonderful! So happy to hear that Ant, keep it up
Is 15 minutes to much? Lol that what I normally do. And I'm not pushing myself to much. I love it. I just see alot of people only doing like 2 or 3 minutes
Hey Floris, Are you still following this routine? If yes, may be you can make an update video.
Yes I am most mornings. Sometimes after a hard running day or later night, I want more sleep and I don't set an alarm. Typically I then wake up at 6am. If I wake up later than that, the kids wake up. Then I meditate together with them, I skip the 5 minute journal & breathing, then I ice bath after breakfast around 8am. But yes, trying to follow this routine as much as I can.
Great!
Congrats!
What time you go to bed? I usually feel sleepy at 7-8 PM , but noonevelse thinks its normal…. So I go to bed later and not always sleep well, and always too short. But I take every day very cold showers (6 C) for 4 min plus in the morning, few times a week Wim Hof breathing ex. , and Tae Bo basic.
I just started with deep breathing and it is so crazy. Never could imagine what can happen with the right breathing! Your morning routine is awesome, thanks for sharing :)!
Well done on getting into the breathwork, it surely is eye opening how powerful the breath is. Glad you enjoyed my video. Thanks!

Excellent video. Thanks for the inspiration!
Thanks so much!
Great video mate, I just started Wim Hof... All the best, power to the ice people ❄️💪🦾❄️🙏
I currently do the Wim Hof breathing techniques followed by a cold shower every morning... I have my hot baths at night... I'm planning on doing an ice bath once a week, when would be the best time to do it ???
Do I replace one of my cold showers with an ice bath in the morning ????
Do I replace my hot bath at night with an ice bath ????
Do I have my hot bath followed by an ice bath or vice versa ????
All of those thumbs down are from miserable undisciplined low-frequency beings.
Hello! Nice vid, big inspiration! May i ask how do you use your ice bath? It looks like a freezer(?!)
