@Edward Brittain very good Edward - when I ski or ride 40 sec with 40 sec active recovery - I think this is about the time it will take for 60 steps - it is rhe absolute maximum I can handle at the moment

@Edward Brittain fantastic exhale holds Edward - even if you ignore the 15 seconds inhale hold - well done

The last week has been hell... quite literally if you look at the temperatures. Here is a little video to keep your head cool. And oh... it may also inspire you with your breath holds. Enjoy 😈

@Rahul Yadav Rahul you can be very hapy with this result - it is a very good dive - yes HR tends to go up at the start of the breath hold - then stabilize or drop slowly - and when the dive reflex kicks in after a minute or two it drops sharply - I think this comes up on day 5 of the challenge

Want to get to the next level with breath holding? You inevitably have to deal with the contractions. What if I told you that this is something you can train... Start the day with the exercise in this video. Then do your breath holds. Let us know the results! 👇

No worries, you can post and do it as much as you want (as a matter of fact, we'd only encourage it 😎) And if you done the challenge once (or twice), feel free to shake it up a little bit. Do exhale breath holds only for a week, or take it easy and do 1-2 breath holds a day without going for a max. Variety is the spice of life.

@Edward Brittain very interesting Edward - that will take us to the middle of September - I will follow your program and progress with great interest - I find it very difficult to plan a breath work program and how to progress from week to week to a specific goal over 12 weeks - whereas it is very easy for me to plan a program for instance on the BikeErg or SkiErg to take me to a target time for a specific distance over a 12 week period
