Post Your Breath Hold (Week 24: June 8th - June 15th 2026)
Do you know what it is? … … If you guessed breath holding, you got it right! Breath holding (intermittent hypoxia training) holds tremendous benefits! Science is slowly catching up to the untapped potential of breath holding. Freedivers, like Stig, have been invaluable guinea pigs in demonstrating that the human body is far more capable than imagined, and the results of longer & long term holds. This opened the doorway to interest in studying the benefits of hypoxia & hypercapnia tolerance (resistance to low oxygen and high carbon dioxide levels). The first results have been promising, with studies in mice showing a protective potential in old age, one of the key indicators of a long and healthy life (see first comment for link to study). So… The question is… How long can you hold your breath?

Mostly New Breath Hold Lounge
Hello everyone. This is the mostly new Breath Hold lounge. Some of you are probably wondering why a new one. The other one had a lot of posts, but not a lot of people used it anymore. So I am hoping to make this one more fun. This is also the place for questions if you have one. A few rules though. Make sure to post your breath hold times in the breath hold thread. If they aren't posted in the correct place then you don't have a chance on winning a weekly giveaway prize. They will also be removed from this thread and put in the other. The second rule is to be kind to the people posting in here. The third is to have fun. 🙂

Post Your Breath Hold (Week 19: May 4th - May 11th 2026)
With a huge influx of new faces - hi everyone! - it is time bring out one of the classics. Stig's 2nd appearance on the TEDx stage was a big one. Not just because of the title, Breath Holding is the New Black. Or, how he talks how breath holding & breathwork provides a natural solution for PTSD. No, it is because it is a miracle that we can even watch the video as it is today. The recording took months, and several emails back and forth, to get published. And when it finally did, it was flagged and stated that the talk was not supported by "legitimate" science. Ironically, all in the same year a Nobel prize was awarded for the discovery of how cells sense and adapt to oxygen availability. If you have already done the challenge, you likely have already experienced difference, peer approved or not. So, lean back, and enjoy!
