We interrupt this breath hold program for the following announcement... The door to the 8-Week Instructor Program with Stig Severinsen is closing in 36 hours.

Do you want to: - Learn how to master your breath holding techniques from the first person to hold their breath under water for 20 minutes and become like the Human Dolphin? - Understand & optimize CO2 tolerance using the same techniques that helped top athletes like Holger Rune (previously ranked #4 tennis player in the world), Viktor Axelsen (2x Olympic champion & 2x world champion badminton and Rene Holten Poulsen (4x Olympic kayaker) - Master the full 360 degrees scope of breathing and how our body & mind is connected through the lungs (unlocking our ability to increase control our heart rate & stress levels through the breath) - Train with Stig Severinsen for 8 full weeks and ask questions to him (& exciting guest speakers) directly during the weekly calls? Catch up with the Breath Hold Training replay to get more information what this training is all about (plus some answers to common Breath Hold training questions). See you Wednesday! OK... now you can go back to the daily breath holds 🐬

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 👇

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 👇

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 👇
