In this brief monologue, Wim Hof explains that performing breathing exercises before athletic activity alkalizes the body's biochemistry, cleansing deep tissues that become slightly acidic during exertion. He claims this pre‑exercise breathing reduces soreness, extends endurance, and enables better performance in sports.

Can I do breathing before I do sports? That's the best because you alkalize your body. What happens when you go do sports, you exert your body's biochemistry to become sore because you use it. So if you go and do the breathing, you will cleanse the biochemistry in the depth of the body, which you do not notice when you just walking, but when you do sports, you will exert and get to that depth of the body normally, which is then slightly acidic. Now it has been cleansed. That's why we do the breathing, and that means you are able to do more sports, more longer endurance, and better.
