Post Your Breath Hold (Week 18: Apr 27th - May 4th 2026)
The breath comes first, the movement follows. This is the mantra that you keep in your mind. With every breath you take. With every step you take. Breathing and breath holding go hand-in-hand. We have been doing a lot of work to improve our breath holds to improve our breathing. Now, with this morning workout, we can work on our breathing to improve our breath holds (or just simply our breath-body coordination, energy and overall health). Watch the video; and try the routine one morning. Let us know how you feel. Oh - and keep doing those breath holds. They still help too! P.S. For those that got up early in the morning on Sunday and already participated in real-time; I salute you!

We interrupt this breath hold program for the following announcement... The door to the 8-Week Instructor Program with Stig Severinsen is closing in 36 hours. Once the door is closed, it won't open until next year (and we are not sure about the dates - so it could be a full 12 months from today!) Go to breatheology.com or click the link below. Do you want to: - Learn how to master your breath holding techniques from the first person to hold their breath under water for 20 minutes and become like the Human Dolphin? - Understand & optimize CO2 tolerance using the same techniques that helped top athletes like Holger Rune (previously ranked #4 tennis player in the world), Viktor Axelsen (2x Olympic champion & 2x world champion badminton and Rene Holten Poulsen (4x Olympic kayaker) - Master the full 360 degrees scope of breathing and how our body & mind is connected through the lungs (unlocking our ability to increase control our heart rate & stress levels through the breath) - Train with Stig Severinsen for 8 full weeks and ask questions to him (& exciting guest speakers) directly during the weekly calls? Catch up with the Breath Hold Training replay to get more information what this training is all about (plus some answers to common Breath Hold training questions). See you Wednesday! OK... now you can go back to the daily breath holds 🐬

@Phillip de Bruyn nice long session, Phillip! Did you do a specific breathing pattern during those 12 long breaths?

Why does this challenge mostly focuses on inhale breath holds? In a lot of places, they tell you first exhale, then hold. But when you open the first video, Stig will tell you: inhale - then hold. What's up with that? If you are new, or always wondered why, here's the deal. Watch Stig's explanation below below 👇

@Phillip de Bruyn thank you for sharing your winter routine, Phillip! I admire your patience during those long sessions and the fact that you don’t push your limits. That really does lay a valuable foundation. Enjoy the transition into winter whilst we in the northern hemisphere look forward to spring and summer.

@Adam Lake I can totally relate, Adam! Training sessions and stressful days have a big impact on the entire body-mind-system, which we can observe afterwards in our breathing capabilities.

The breath hold does not lie. If there is one thing you can train, that does not cost anything, and is available to you at any time, it's the breath hold. Whenever you need a reset, prepare yourself for a difficult moment, or get wake yourself up, hold your breath. It does not have to be long. It can be a minute. maybe even 30 seconds. The thing is... once you make the breath hold part of your routine. A quick hold becomes a gentle push... a nudge... instead of a challenge. This Sunday, Stig explained exactly how you can implement the Breath Hold in your daily life. And how you can continue to improve your holds over time. Catch the replay below 👇

This evening I did 10 minutes of coherent breathing which is about 5-6 breaths per minute. I use a metronome with 55 bpm to aim for a slightly slower pace than normal seconds. Little focus on the exhalation with 5 beats breathing in and 6 beats breathing out. Super to calm down and align breath and body.

@Linda Bruce quite a good start, Linda. Take it slow and welcome!

The Breath Hold Challenge is not about pushing yourself. Wait, what? If you stick around for a few days, you learn that to hold longer, you don't push. You go into a state of relaxation. And forget about the world around you. Yes, I get it. When your diaphragm is jolting up and down. You are not relaxed. Stig has a secret hack to activate the Vagus nerve. One that he has used in preparation for his Guinness world records. Watch the video 👇

I did a nice set of ten rounds tonight and aimed for equal breathing and breath holding. On the last round I extended the breath hold for 30 seconds: D1-D9: 1:10 / 1:10 D10: 1:10 / 1:40 Happy Easter everyone 🐣
