I'm told to live my life like There's no tomorrow But truly There has to be a better way For if the morrow never comes And it's my last breath I breathe today How will I know to appreciate it For won't I be too enthralled, too focused, too busy with Living As much as I can, as hard as I can, as fast as I can Before the day's end and the morrow that may never come To simply catch my breath and just Breathe Slow and steady In and out Filling my lungs Feeling my lungs Expand and Contract And listen to the fresh-filled blood pounding in the ears Echoes of the patient heart Sounding throughout the rest of today and in To the morrow and beyond Forever

Any Wim Hof fans out there?
If you’ve never heard of Hof before… prepare to have your mind blown.
This dude, known as The Iceman, can withstand the coldest colds and endure the hottest hots for practically as long as he wants all because he can control his mind and, through that, his core temperature, all through a radical breathing technique of his.
I’ve lost nearly half of my lung capacity due to a side effect called graft versus host disease after from my bone marrow transplant so, apart from the fact my survival rate chances were in the cellar, I never expected to be able to do much in the way of cardiovascular work ever again.
My son turned me onto Hof last year and, while I’m still in my initial stages of learning from this guy, you should see me going for it on the exercise bike and with the weights. I cannot imagine how much more I will be able to progress the more I progress with Hof’s techniques.
Reminder, as per clearly stated in my Terms & Disclaimers I am not a doctor so don’t go doing this stuff without consulting the experts first.
But if you want to experience a new reality of living… watch the fascinating Vice documentary about him below and then go check out this wild man’s youtube site.
