Wim Hof explains why hands go numb in ice water: your veins constrict to protect your core temperature. He recommends his fundamentals training and a two-minute ice-bucket tutorial done regularly to build tolerance and reduce the pain.

Chapters

Wim Hof. Okay, about the extremities. People ask the question, the extremities is really painful when you go into ice water. Why is that? Because the extremities, the veins in the extremities, they close. They close to preserve their core body temperature. And there is a tutorial how to train the extremities. For that, you go to the fundamentals, going in there with the tutorial into an ice bucket for 2 minutes and things, and the explanations are more over there. Just get it on because it's good.
