When the contractions hit, how do you even stay relaxed? @Mark DePonzi is asking the right questions. Staying calm when the going gets tough needs a little bit more. Enter imagery. A study shows that motor imagery has a positive impact on breath hold times. How would this look in practice? You wouldn't expect it: it is imaging that you are breathing. Sensing the motions of taking a normal breath. During your hold. The golden ticket to a new personal best? Let us know 👇

What should you do if you miss a day? Last week @Priti Shah asked this great question. In the video, I give my recommendation, and news on the upgraded Breath Hold Mastery. 👋 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲? 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! 🧑‍🏫

Are you ready to double or triple your breath hold time? And unlock hidden powers of your mind you could never imagine. This human dolphin is waiting for you in the classroom! And the more you post & share, the more you will open up… So - let's get started! Post a picture of yourself & write what you hope to achieve by the end of the 7 days:

Welcome to Week 45 of the 2025 Breath Hold Challenge! Inspired by @Sven Köpke post on pain and breath holding, I did a little deep dive. I'd like to share my findings with you in the quick video I recorded for you all. Study: "Respiratory hypoalgesia? Breath-holding, but not respiratory phase modulates nociceptive flexion reflex and pain intensity" – H Jafari · 2016 (Link) 👋 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲?

Hi there, Polar Bears. How's it chillin'? One of the nifty features of Skool is the leaderboard. You can find it in the top navigation bar of the 7-Day Breath Hold Challenge page (see image). For the biologists and animal lovers among us, you'll understand the animals linked to each level. That's right - the order is based on how long each animal can hold their breath under water. Now, how do you go from a polar bear to a sea turtle? The answer is: sharing & posting quality stuff! Every single time someone likes your post, you get a point. Each level requires a certain amount of points to level up. (click the question mark under your profile picture to see the exact amount) New levels also mean new features! For instance, when you become a Sea Otter, you can message each other (this is mostly to keep those spammy Polar Bears from sending unsolicited ads) If you level up to a Dugong, you can migrate to the Discovery Masterclass, and of course, when you reach the Dolphin level, you can learn how to train Superhuman Lungs. We are still playing around with the rewards for the other levels, as well as winning the weekly/monthly leaderboards. Rewards may be subject to change. The goal of this community that we help each other. So be kind, and give your fellow polar bear a like when you can. We'll be a bale of sea turtles soon enough. So, are you ready to level up? ACTION: Post your current level (and feel free to come back every time you reach a new level).
