As I have more time I decided to try the Wim Hof method Its basically rapid breathing and long holds followed by cold water. I found my mind to be more focused and improved energy levels. This has led me to adding planks and now press ups as part of my morning exercise regime |

Go John!
Sounds rather unappealing to me, worse than Murray's ice baths after every match😀
But, it's whatever works for the individual.
The diaphragm is a large muscle that we need in good form, like the heart.
Had I been him, I'd have changed my name to Hot, counteract the cold 😂

My last visit to check my mild asthma showed my lungs are 20 years younger than me  Probably the biggest influence is 1 4 2 breathing. Breathe in for 1, hold for 4, out for 2 Build up multiples to where I currently sit 10, 40, 20 Repeat 10 times, 3 times a day The other influencers are yoga for an hour a day, walking the dogs twice a day and 25 mile bike rides about 4 times a week Have heard about cold and not keen. Might try it... |

It takes a while to get used to the cold water the initial shock is the worst part of it
I sometimes 10 seconds in breathe 10 seconds hold and 10 seconds exhale I will increase the length as I get more used to it
