Post Your Breath Hold (Week 5: Jan 26th - Feb 2nd)
Have you mastered the first 7 days of the Breath Hold Challenge?
A recent study among a group of elite rugby athletes shows a ~8% VO2peak improvement;
within 10 minutes and with just one single breath holding exercise
The good part? You can do this too in the comfort of your own home.
The exercise is a variant of an O2 table with two differences:
- It's on exhale (you hold your breath after you exhale)
- It's dynamic (you are moving while you are holding your breath)
Here's what to do:
- Sit down on a stationary bike (an elliptical trainer or rowing machine works as well)
- Adjust the resistance to zero for a no load session
- Perform six maximum capacity breath holds on exhale, with 30 second rest
- Exercise for 10 minutes during these breath holds
Feeling energized? The extra performance can last up to 5 hours after workout.
What a great way to start the day (or week). 😎
Give it a try & share your findings with the group. 👇
