The answer: 8 minutes and 33 seconds. Yes, I think it will take us some time to get there. ๐Ÿ˜Ž 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

@Alaa Refaat Well done Alaa โ€“ I thought a 15 sec recovery on a 3 min dive was pushing it โ€“ but you are strong on this type of CO2 and O2 tables

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 ๐Ÿ‘‡

@Sven Kรถpke This was week 5 of a planned 8 to10 week breath work program to get ready for our summer season - and I hope some nice snorkel dives โ€“ I always plan my training in blocks of 8 to 10 weeks โ€“ or else I feel it is just exercise with no plan to progress

Welcome to Week 45 of the 2025 Breath Hold Challenge! Inspired by @Sven Kรถpke 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" โ€“ H Jafari ยท 2016 (Link) ๐Ÿ‘‹ ๐—ก๐—ฒ๐˜„ ๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ?

I am a 74 years old pensioner - was a very keen snorkel diver when I was in my 30's and 40's and still snorkel dive during the summer months.
