Wim Hof 'The Iceman'

Few facts of amazing Wim Hof 'The Iceman' -

- he climbed past the “death zone” altitude on Mount Everest (~7,500 meters) wearing nothing but shorts.
- he completed a full marathon above the polar circle in Finland, in temperatures close to −20 °C (−4 °F). Dressed in nothing but shorts
- he holds World Record for the longest ice bath, now set at 1 hour 53 minutes and 12 seconds.
- he ran a full marathon in the Namibia Desert without water.
- he was injected with toxins under doctor supervision and demonstrated that he could effectively control his autonomic immune response.

Now, like most I thought he is a "freak of nature" and one of a kind whose feats cannot be replicated.... but guess what...
he was able to train others to achieve the same effect...with only 4 days of training!

Whistle away...

Just saw this delightful documentary Pucker Up: the Fine Art of Whistling. Amazed that there is so much to whistling! Apart from the just the competition, director covered the art of whistling and the passion of those who competed.
