I can do about 2:36 when I tried it recently sitting at kitchen table, zero preparation besides few deep inhales/exhales.
I remember without any preparation in past I could do 50-70 seconds, so I was blown away by 2.5 minutes after many years, do those few deep inhales/exhales prior holding breath make that much difference?
I am not doing any sport or exercise, at best like <5mins per day, just walk everywhere and sit at computer most of the day.
- DiggyJohnson 4y agoYes, it’s crucial in fact.
- petodo 4y agoI remember reading about it, but care to explain simply why it helps?
- TamDenholm 4y agoNot an expert but my basic understanding is that the hyperventilating before holding your breath basically oxygenates your blood so that you can hold for longer.
- postsantum 4y agoNo, that's because hyperventilation washes out CO2 so the CO2 alarm going off later than usual
