Wim Hof Method command line breathing timer scripts

These scripts are for exercising the Wim Hof Method breathing with timers in the command line interface.

I plan to build more sophisticated scripts and there is the possibility of a graphical interface in the future.

Scripts

whm.py

This is a simple Python3 script with a simple user interface for setting the breathing rounds, the number of breaths, the retention time and the recovery breath time.

The script requires the progress.bar library.

Install it with

pip install progress

then the script is functional.

Usage:

usage: whm.py [-h] [--breaths BREATHS] [--retentions RETENTIONS RETENTIONS RETENTIONS] [--recovery RECOVERY] [--rounds ROUNDS]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --breaths BREATHS     Number of breaths per round
  --retentions RETENTIONS RETENTIONS RETENTIONS
                        Retention times in seconds
  --recovery RECOVERY   Recovery time in seconds
  --rounds ROUNDS       Number of rounds

Defaults:

• 3 rounds
• 30 breaths per round
• 30, 60 and 90 seconds retentions
• 15 seconds recovery breaths

whm.sh

Basic shell script written in BASH for even simpler environments.

Usage:

./whm.sh

The first lines of the script can be modified to change the default breathing session.

# Define the number of rounds
rounds=3

# Define the number of breaths per round
breaths=30

# Define breath lenght in seconds
breath_length=3

# Define the retention times
retention1=30
retention2=60
retention3=90

# Define the recovery time
recovery=15

Defaults:

• 3 rounds
• 30 breaths per round
• 30, 60 and 90 seconds retentions
