He said:
I feel like I can control
my own body as if I have a thermostat that I can adjust when I need to. The
most challenging record was climbing Everest in just a pair of shorts. Swimming
beneath the ice and not finding the hole back was quite a frightening
experience too.But I’m confident enough because I know what my body can cope
with.It is a lifestyle that I have chosen to take therefore I train everyday
wherever I am.I don’t bother with gyms, I just workout where I happen to be
whether it’s in the garden or at home.It’s a great honour to have the nickname
of Iceman, it makes me feel very proud of my achievements.’
Experts revealed during
deep meditation, Mr Hof’s brain is able to send messages to other parts of his
body telling them to keep warm.
