@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! 👇

Step 2: Post your time here so you can get feedback and points Step 3: Head on over to the Classroom & follow the instructions Already participated last week, or last month? 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

I am a 75 year old pensioner - was a very keen snorkel diver when I was in my 30's and 40's and still snorkel dive during the summer months.
