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 ๐Ÿ‘‡

@Pihla Pyykkรถnen Well done Pihla - that is a good dive - good luck for the buildup to day 7 - I think it is important to take it easy for the next two days and don't stress about day 7

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 ๐Ÿ‘‡

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 ๐Ÿ‘‡

Have you completed the 7-day Breath Hold Challenge already? No? Scroll below and go to the Classroom to get started. If you have, read on. Stig has a video for you to encourage you to keep going. Because breath holding is more than just a challenge. It is much needed pause to reset your mind, and reassess and recover.

W2:D7 Snorkel dive on the Skipskop Bank near Arniston - the warm summer water has now changed to cooler winter water - but we still enjoyed a nice day of snorkel diving.

This breath holding thing. Isn't it dangerous? Doctors say that if you don't breathe for four minutes or longer, you'll get brain damage. And while Stig does do crazy things, like jumping into a frozen lake in Greenland, by all accounts, he is still alive. And so are the many people in the Breath Hold Community that have held their breath for 3, 4 or sometimes even 5 minutes at a time. So, what is going on. What is the truth? Stig will explain it in the video.

I am a 75 year 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.
