Post Your Breath Hold (Week 40: September 29th 2025 – October 5th 2025)
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! 🧑‍🏫

Meet the Human Dolphin (Impromptu Q&A - REPLAY)
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 🐬

REPLAY IS LIVE! For everyone that could not make it last night (it was impromptu after all), or if you just would like to watch the call again, here is the replay:

Breath Hold Times - July (Post ALL Times here)
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).

@Bård Antonsen Yes, it's a good idea to focus on something else, and to remember that the sensations you feel are good, it is your body doing what it is supposed to be doing - responding to the changes.

@Woodrow Agustin Harley Great result, and going for a max hold is time intensive, so just doing smaller breath holds in between or taking a day break is an excellent idea. I hope that the challenge was able to inspire you.
Will You Help Us Break 1.000 Members Tonight?
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 🙏

How Long Can YOU Hold Your Breath? (Leaderboards Explained)
Hi there, Polar Bears. How's it chillin'? One of the nifty features of Skool is the leaderboard. You can find it in the top navigation bar of the 7-Day Breath Hold Challenge page (see image). For the biologists and animal lovers among us, you'll understand the animals linked to each level. That's right - the order is based on how long each animal can hold their breath under water. Now, how do you go from a polar bear to a sea turtle? The answer is: sharing & posting quality stuff! Every single time someone likes your post, you get a point. Each level requires a certain amount of points to level up. (click the question mark under your profile picture to see the exact amount) New levels also mean new features! For instance, when you become a Sea Otter, you can message each other (this is mostly to keep those spammy Polar Bears from sending unsolicited ads) If you level up to a Dugong, you can migrate to the Discovery Masterclass, and of course, when you reach the Dolphin level, you can learn how to train Superhuman Lungs. We are still playing around with the rewards for the other levels, as well as winning the weekly/monthly leaderboards. Rewards may be subject to change. The goal of this community that we help each other. So be kind, and give your fellow polar bear a like when you can. We'll be a bale of sea turtles soon enough. So, are you ready to level up? ACTION: Post your current level (and feel free to come back every time you reach a new level).
