Curious on how you take breath holding to the max? We shared a sample of the Full Exhale Diving video from the Breath Hold Mastery below. In light of some of the questions from last week about forceful exhale vs. passive exhale from @Ric Peterson and @Sven Köpke For 99% of the applications, a passive exhale will do just fine. Just gently let go of your breath for a few seconds. Any longer won't really matter as you'll reach an equilibrium and more air won't leave the lungs. After the exhale, the following amount will still be left in your lungs: Passive exhale (~50%) vs. forceful exhale (~25%) Don't want to jump in the water and have a buddy step on you? You can do a forceful exhale on land. 1. Take a full breath in 2. Engage your core: tighten your abdominal muscles; like bracing for a punch 3. Actively contract your diaphragm and abs to push out air; like blowing out candles on a cake 4. Keep pushing until you feel nearly all of your air has left your lungs Want to push it even further? Exhale through pursed lips, and perform a forward bend to push out all the air. NOTE: As always, never hold your breath under water alone; and don't push yourself too hard. When you feel dizzy, stop immediately.
