Which one is better? Breath hold on inhale, or exhale? The answer is; it really depends. The main goal of the challenge is to build CO₂ tolerance. This may not be easy, or comfortable, at first (it's a challenge, after all). But stick to it; and you'll notice a sense of being in control; even when the going gets tough. Remember... 𝘾𝙊₂ 𝙏𝙤𝙡𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙄𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙍𝙚𝙖𝙡 𝙏𝙧𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙂𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙 - Most discomfort isn’t from lack of oxygen but from rising CO₂. - The goal isn’t to fight that feeling, but to get comfortable with it. - Over time your body and mind learn that the first urge to breathe isn’t an emergency. 𝗚𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝘂𝗽 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝘀𝘁? Be sure to follow the following Pro Tip to relieve some of the pressure; and break the two-minute barrier (or; whatever was your previous limit). 𝗣𝗿𝗼 𝗧𝗶𝗽: Fill up your lungs to about 70% of maximum capacity; or until you feel comfortable. Inhale fully; and gently release some air until the pressure on your chest feels more manageable. Until you hold your breath for 3-4 minutes or longer; the duration of the hold is going to be purely determined by your ability to stay calm; and the extra inhaled air does not offset the discomfort in the chest.

Welcome to Week 40 of the 2025 Breath Hold Challenge! Missed last week? Here are some insights from Week 39: 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗳𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 - Many beginners (like @Marleen Veda) improved by 10–30 seconds in just a day or two. - Even short, repeated holds (1:05, 1:12) are valuable — consistency builds capacity 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘀𝗲𝘁 𝗱𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 - Distraction, meditation, or focus techniques help extend holds. - Staying relaxed is often more important than “pushing.” 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝘀 - One solid dive with intent can be as powerful as many shorter ones. - Repeating the same time (like @Gary Frame ’s legendary 1:05) is its own discipline. 👋 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! 🧑‍🏫

We just spotted the human dolphin in his natural habitat - and sources say, he went live yesterday. Our camera team has been able to capture the moment on camera, and you can watch the replay here. Also, keep tabs on the calendar in case we spot the human dolphin again: https://www.skool.com/breath-hold-challenge/calendar Enjoy 🐬

The first monthly Breath Hold Time thread - with many more to come. Post your daily breath hold times & share your experiences here. Encourage & congratulate others - we will all be dolphins by the end of the month! We'll pick a monthly winner at random who will win a lucky prize (woo-hoo!). It's not based on how high you score (because... it's YOUR personal journey - so it does not matter if you hold only for a minute and someone else for 3 minutes).

What is a revolution without friends? For those who joined us on the first day of the month (or even sooner), you have all felt the change. Fighting the strongest reflex in life - life itself - unlocks a hidden superpower within you. It would totally unfair to keep this from people, especially those who need it the most. So, I ask for your help in sharing the message to as many people as possible. Make it a friendly competition. Who is the dolphin among your friends? 🐬 (P.S. Since you are already in this group, you got a head start) How do you share? Just send or post the link to our group: → https://www.skool.com/breath-hold-challenge/about It's easy as pie! And it would be much appreciated 🙏
