Read about them here… Work on doing c02 tables every other day for the first 2 weeks. The next step in your training is to work on the frequency, location and quality of your breath-hold training. Not sure what this is? Read here…īy working within the rule of thirds you will get a gauge of how well you are doing. Your exhales will include oxygen, so don’t waste it. Never release any air until you intend to breathe again, be it underwater or on the surface. Stop the air escaping at the glottis or the back of the throat, not at the lips.

The next thing to work on is your breath-holding technique itself. If you are quite unfit yo may find you peak early and will struggle to go beyond that point. Your overall fitness levels will also affect how quickly you improve. But remember, it will involve training… and lots of it. Some people respond to training better than others, there are no fixed rules that we can use to precisely gauge your potential but after years of instructing people how to hold their breath these numbers are a pretty good guide. We are going to use this time as a prediction of what you will be able to get to in one months time. ![]() Always focus on your inhales and not your exhales when recovering! ![]()
