Wim Hof Method - is there an app for Fenix 6?

Do you know if such an app exsist?

It would be helpful to use this during breathing exercise

My suspicion is that while Wim Hof is doing his breathing exercise, the last thing he wants on his mind is an electronic contraption monitoring him - just sayin'.

After all, it's pretty simple:

Step 1: Get Comfortable

Assume a meditation posture: sitting, lying down — whichever is most comfortable for you. Make sure you can expand your lungs freely without feeling any constriction.

Step 2: 30-40 Deep Breaths

Close your eyes and try to clear your mind. Be conscious of your breath, and try to fully connect with it. Inhale deeply through the nose or mouth, and exhale unforced through the mouth. Fully inhale through the belly, then chest and then let go unforced. Repeat this 30 to 40 times in short, powerful bursts. You may experience light-headedness, and tingling sensations in your fingers and feet. These side effects are completely harmless.

Step 3: The Hold

After the last exhalation, inhale one final time, as deeply as you can. Then let the air out and stop breathing. Hold until you feel the urge to breathe again.

Step 4: Recovery Breath

When you feel the urge to breathe again, draw one big breath to fill your lungs. Feel your belly and chest expanding. When you are at full capacity, hold the breath for around 15 seconds, then let go. That completes round number one. This cycle can be repeated 3-4 times without interval. After having completed the breathing exercise, take your time to bask in the bliss. This calm state is highly conducive to meditation — don't hesitate to combine the two.

Why would you need an App?

And hoe we arrange IT in our fenix?

I use yoga app in connect.

U can set a timer for belly breath (mine is 3') then rest till press lap button (thats ur retention time) and then a 16" retention also guided by the app and start again. I confugure it 4 rounds, and included a rest bofore rmthe 6th wich is 3' for cold shower.

All of this can be skkipped pressinglap button

I use the Static Apnea Training Tables IQ app (for O²) and customized it. 1:45m for breathing including the 15 second inhalation hold , exhalation breath holds with 20 second increases, for 3 rounds. Works great if you don't mind the bleeps of the watch (30 / 20 / 10 /5 second countdowns for each stage, which I actually find helpful).

I should have added that you can turn the countdown notifications off, or make them vibration only, and breathing and holds, or holds only.

I recently installed in my Fenix and it is pretty good
