Post Your Breath Hold (Week 43 Oct 20th 2025 โ€“ Oct 26th 2025)
Aloha, Welcome to Week 43 of the 2025 Breath Hold Challenge! Are you ready for your weekly breath holds? Here is your nugget of the week: ๐Ÿง˜โ€โ™€๏ธ ๐—Ÿ๐—ถ๐˜€๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ป ๐˜๐—ผ ๐—ฌ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ฟ ๐—•๐—ผ๐—ฑ๐˜† Went through the first week, and had mixed results? The breath hold is a snapshot of your current state of mind. The key is listening to your body: - If you had poor sleep or high stress, expect different results - Recovery from other workouts affects breath hold performance - Find what works for you personally (AM vs PM, sitting vs lying down, etc.) - Don't force it - "mastery through softness" Try different variations. How do you feel? Is it easier? More challenging? ๐Ÿ‘‹ ๐—ก๐—ฒ๐˜„ ๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ? Here is how it works: Step 1: Take an inhale, start your stopwatch & hold your breath. Step 2: Post your time here, get feedback and points Step 3: Head on over to the Classroom & follow the instructions Let's go & double your breath hold! ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿซ

Welcome to Week 40 of the 2025 Breath Hold Challenge! Missed last week?

@Dan Hedlund Hey dude, welcome to this wonderful adventure toward greater self-knowledge. Breathe marks the beginning and end of our lives. Enjoy your journey ! In my case, to do this exercise, I have never used a towel on my face. I think it's inappropriate for me. Instead, I use a plastic bowl that I put in the freezer for a while. For the exercise, I prepare everything I need: place the bowl on a chair, sit on the floor, record my vital signs with an oximeterโ€”easy to find in pharmacies, for example 10 warrior breaths + 3 snake breaths Start the timer and calmly go for a dive with a smile on my face. When I can't continue, I stop the timer and check the oximeter again. Finally, I compare the two. For example, if you had a heart rate of 60 beats per minute before the dive and you end up with more or less 50 during the dive, you have just experienced the mammalian dive reflex. It would be easier to have someone with you. Otherwise, as I do when I'm alone, I film myself so I can see the changes in the oximeter afterwards. And above all, don't push yourself too hard. Be patient my friend and try, again and again.

@Dan Hedlund Full lung hold and empty lung hold, as their names suggest, are opposites. What you are experiencing is completely normal. When you hold your breath after an inhale, your lungs fill with air and the pressure increases. It should be noted that the walls of the lungs and the carotid artery contain baroreceptors that react to changes in pressure. These in turn stimulate the brain, which explains the increase in heart rate. A few moments later, it stabilizes and you can hold your breath for a long time. When you hold your breath after an exhale, there is no pressure on the lungs. You feel calm and imagine that you are a dolphin in the sea ๐Ÿ˜‡. No, the reminder comes as soon as the CO2 level rises. We tend to hold our breath for less time when our lungs are empty.
