Woow. I increased my breath hold time from 60 seconds to 95 seconds in just half an hour. Edit after one day: 2 minutes and 10 seconds. Thank you so much. You made my day 💃
I'm 66 years old and for 2 months have been practicing the Co2 and O2 methods from another video. I started with 1 minute 30 secs, but achieved 3 minutes 30 secs yesterday 😊
wow, this is great for relaxation too. I increased my breath-hold from a little over a minute or so to very close to 2 minutes, probably about 30 or 40 seconds increase, and felt really relaxed afterwards. What a great video!
The trick is just to do your best to ignore the urge to breath like when it gets hard then you need to fight it by not paying attention to it I went from 1m:15s to 1m:51s to 2m:13s so my old record was just over a minute then my first try got me close to 2 minutes and then i got it and i think i can go for 2m:30 in a few tries and maby within a week i might get 3 minutes
This is crazy! I didn’t think I’d be able to do this but on my first breath hold I got to 2 minutes. I’m excited to see how much longer I can do this for! Thank you so much
I recently started mermaiding and my biggest challenge is breath-holding (I could only hold for maybe 10-15 seconds). I've tried other techniques that didn't work for me. I just tried your techniques and I was able to hold for 1:18! I'll practice frequently to build it up. Thank you for such a comprehensive approach!
Getting into a new sport and watching a ton of videos, this was amazing, I would always fight myself and really force the 2 min hold but using the method of the body scam keep my mind much more relaxed and almost distracted to be able to push more the 2 min hold. Great video as long as you actually follow the steps!
Thank you for this. 1.45 was my time. This is a big achievement for me. I was never able to hold my breath even for this long. I will keep on practicing to get to that 2 mins mark. 😀
Thank you for the instruction, Gert! I really enjoyed your video. I'm at 1 min 30 sec sitting here at my desk (which I attempted before watching your video instructing me to do this while lying down!) I plan to go snorkeling in five months time, so I am hoping to improve my breath holding, using your techniques. I will try to remember to post my progress. I have been a fan of breath holding and freediving, ever since reading 'Through the Tunnel' as a young man. I would always swim underwater in the pool from end-to-end to practice, but this was before the web and I didn't know what I was doing and information was hard to find, so I never seriously pursued the sport. Now that I am older (53) I am becoming interested again, because I appreciate the mental (yoga) aspect to it and it seems like a sport in which age doesn't have the same negative effects. I have subscribed and hope to learn much from you. Thank you, again!
Last summer I held my breath for a little over 2 minutes underwater. I didn’t have much technique, and could’ve easily passed out from hyperventilating . Thanks for giving me an organized routine to practice and become more consistent
to be fair, the breatheup technique in this video can be considered as a mild form of hyperventilation as well. it is meant for beginners to practice on land. in the water however we do tidal breathing. please watch my Playlist breathing techniques for freediving.
I wanna thank this man for sharing his breath hold technique. from 40-50sec now I can breath hold at a minimum of 2mins how awesome is that! It can pass all the basic static breathing certification requirements. Salute! keep on sharing and may the universe grant your hearts desire! tah!
I tried breatholding once and I got about twenty seconds, after watching this video I can get a minute thirty almost every time. Thanks for the amazing video.
You’re awesome! I’ve been practicing yoga for over a decade, so that may have helped, but I increased my breath hold by over a minute on the first try!
So chuffed I found this video - 2 min 7 s on first try!! I’m a new yoga teacher, and really excited to get into free diving, it was really cool seeing the overlap between meditation/breath work practices and your steps in the video! Thanks very much🎉😊
For the first couple of tries my record was only 1:05, but I plan to practice every night to get higher times. I decided to search this because I wanted to get better stamina and I do now, and will continue growing it. This is also just a nice way of relaxing before I go to bed. Thank you so much for this.
Wow, this really works, made it to 2:08.. Felt panic several times, and i thought i was wimping out at just over a minute. Was surprised to see time was 2:08. Felt the contractions and it was awesome. Thank you
Thank you for sharing✨ my attemp 3 days ago without any proper technique was 1:32 and also i struggled so much, but after watching your video today and apply your technique, i can hold my breath for 2:05 effortlessly. 💯
Omg my personal record was 1 min and today it doubled thanku so much I can’t believe it 🤣 Watched hundreds of videos but still couldn’t cross the min. But in this video i did it thanku thanku thanku ur the best instructor
I just checked my hold and it was at 1 min before this video, first try after watching this and got a lil over 2 min. The relaxation of the each body part definitely does the trick and you feel calmer right away. Thank you!
Good job. Bit take it easy. Better practise 15min every day instead of a couple of hours. Breathholding is demanding for the central nervous system. Go steady ✌️
I love fishing so much but one time we decided to snorkel in one of the beautiful reefs in Florida. What I saw underwater was beautiful and I wish I could free dive. I can only hold my breath for 15-20 seconds.😂 Thank you for this video. Will definitely practice this one.
Super clear and effective tutorial and I love your friendly presentation style. As a yoga practitioner myself I'm also thrilled to find a video coming at it from that perspective.
I was pretty happy just to get to 1:25!! I have a sea survival course to go on this week.. Where you get dropped into a swimming pool upside down in a fake helicopter and have to escape.. Just wanted to boost my confidence in holding my breath! So I didn’t panic! Think this will do me good! Thanks! Going to keep practicing!
Thank you, for the fun and engaging video Gert! Your instructions got me to relax and the mental part was my breakthrough to hold my breath for 2 minutes Yay! I enjoyed the natural High after the breath hold 😊
Hi I would like to say your method works great I was only able to hold my breath for 40 seconds but after 2 days of doing this usually in the morning I am able to go up to 1:04 I feel like if you give me 1 more week and I could get to 1:40 to 2:00 minutes if not longer!!!! Thank you so so so much. 😁🐟🌊
I've been swimming since I was 3 days old and have always been able to hold my breath a long time. I basic do everything that you're talking about. This is also what I do when I hang upside down and that way all my back and such just relax and all the pain goes away.
From 0:22 to 0:44, even if that's not a lot, still is double! Thanks a lot, I will start practising this more (I'll edit down here my best when some time passes)!!! ❤
did it for the first time and managed 1:50 ! Wouldn't have expected that. Experienced exactly those spasms in the stomach area you mentioned at around 1:40.
Wow! I when I saw this video pop up I was skeptical that it would help help me improve at all. I'm not a diver but I'm a long time trumpet player. Thanks to breathing exercises for that, I do pretty well holding my breath already. Before watching I did a test breath hold and got 2:23. Which is actually a bit better than my usual 2:15.. I watched the video, made a few adjustments to my technique based on your recommendations and tried again. 3:04! Holy crap! Geez. Never would have expected that. Great video!
I been doing apnea breathing tables and is a good thing that i can hold it now for around 4 minutes, it help me with some breathing problems that i had before and now i feel my lungs much more strong than before, this really works, but also i have to work for it!!; Tnxs for your advises!!
you must have watched the video very carefully to get to exactly 2 mins haha! well done. you might wanna watch my 3 minute video as well: ruclips.net/video/obBRZiRyIMY/видео.html
Wow! Thanks a lot for the video! My record use to be 1 min 18 seconds and after the yogic breath I was able to hold my breath for 2 minutes and 1 sec on the first try. Amazing!
This video is really great but you need to keep in mind that underwater things are diffrent and from 2 mins breathhold the time is going to turn into 1 min still. Keep up the great content🤙
Hi, i just tried to hold my breath before and after watching your video. Before watching i was able to hold just for 30seconds and after your video, techniques about the last breath in through the mouth, keep calm while in urge to breath...I managed to hold for 1 minute without any exercises or anything. Just after your tips, thx a lot! I will keep practicing
Just last week when I started to look about freediving videos I tried to hold my breath and I did only 0:55s, after I've tried this method I managed to hold my breath for 2:05, I was really impressed. Great video, you just got a new subscriber + a thumbs to this video. I'm going to watch the 3 minutes video and see if I can make it
I usually last for one minute but after following the video I was able to hold my breath for 1:31s. It's insane. Edit: On the second try I was able to hold my breath for 2:03s. I feel so accomplished right now hahaha. I will watch the next video for the 3min now
Last Time i could hold it for 2:40min in water thanks to your Videos. Its a crazy Feeling in the water without the constant urge to breath, its a Feeling of freedom that u never felt before i just love it.
3 min and 35 seconds at the first try after this video. In summer I usually do different apnea exercises at sea since when I was a child. One day I'd like to get also the freediving certification and practice all the year long if possible
I tried right before watching your video and I could hold my breathe for 1‘; after the video and following the techniques you explained I was at 2’40”. But since the beginning of the year I’m exercising with the Wim Hof Method, that probably helped also. Thank you for all the information you share on your channel!
Omg! when I tried measuring for fun I was able to hold my breath for about 40 seconds, after trying to do what you said I was able to hold it for 1:36 minutes on the first try and I managed to stay really calm and only felt the urge to breathe in the last few seconds. Will do it a lot more! Thanks.
wow, thank you!! I was able to hold usually 1 minute. Now on first try the timer disrupted me at two minutes, and I was still ok, just after contractions. But i started breathing to reset, and not overdo it :D Definitely great instruction!
You're such a good instructor. I just now, after watching this video, tried holding my breath following your insctructions, sitting in my chair in my office and I managed to do 2:15, which I never thought possible. There were some minor convulsions later on and my brain really wanted to trick me to breathe, but I just relaxed and it worked. Can't wait to try in the water together with equalization, which I up to this day didn't know existed, so I dove only about 4m max. Thank you.
I really cannot believe this, I started with my personal best at 1:30, and after 30min and literally 4 tries it went up to 2:41. After watching your "How to STATIC APNEA?", it went from 1:30 up to 2:10 in 3 tries (at the 3rd exercise in that video) and after this video and the breathing exercises it went all the way to 2:40. I really cannot believe that it's all in our heads. Great video! I'm gonna check your "hold your breath 3min video" now 😁🤞
You have to train the mind and train the body. I recommend competitive swimming because it trains the mind and the lungs. Even though I have been doing competitive swimming since I was 6 I still can only hold my breath for about 2:30 seconds
thanks for the video it really helped a lot🙏🏿 my old record that i made months ago was 1.30 min and right after watching your video i managed to get 1.40 seconds by resting 1 minute between two attempts
Amazing 😮 I tried just before my normal way and managed 1m20s. Then I did exactly what you explained and was able to hold my breath for 3min straight on the first try.
I have been doing the Vim Hof method which makes your breath out and hold. I tried this method and was able to do 2 mins 15 seconds on the second try. So good. I would like to try freediving eventually.
Wow this method really worked 5 minutes in trying and i got 1 min and 4 seconds now i have to work on relaxing and trying evey day and i will probably get 2.5 mins
I set the timmer to two minutes on my watch, it was dark so I couldn't see well. When I took my last breath I pressed the button to activate the timmer only thing is it was on the chronometer and I didn't realize. I held my breath waiting for the beep at two minutes. When I couldn't go any longer I took a breath and looked at my watch and that's when I realized I had started the chronometer insted of the timmer. 3'34 minutes had passed.
welcome! please watch the Playlist BREATHING TECHNIQUES for other videos and to get an understanding of what a breathup is actually and what's it used for. For diving or pool diving tidal breathing is the way to breathe up. cheers
Hi, after shorter but increasing duration warmups I managed 5min 1 second, tried 5 days later only managed 4minutes. My urge to breathe kicks in around 2 minutes 30 each time which always overrides my ability to relax lol
I did it I never thought clearing your mind was a big part I closed my eyes and made when I thought I was about to burst I opened them and saw I had 25 seconds left so I held and made it
Maybe im late but it was the same to me, I naturally closed my eyes and focused on holding it in, when I opened it was 1:45 and I was like "oh shit hold it a bit more" and got 2:06
@@opticalraven1935 the dont help you in this case. you only think they do. Completely abandon goals. That's when eventually your breath hold will go up.
When i do the yogic breathing i clear my mind near instantly my hearing basically cuts out and i cam focus but i also get some weird feeling like someone is hitting my head with something really soft
Fantastic info! I love free diving. It’s pretty relaxing to hold one’s breath and feel the pressure of the water, once you dive deeper and deeper. It’s a bit scary when you start a free fall. One thing I wouldn’t recommend beginners is not to hyperventilate before the dive.

In summer I usually do different apnea exercises at sea since when I was a child. One day I'd like to get also the freediving certification and practice all the year long if possible
thsts awesome 💥
Amazing! thank you, first attempt 2:15 and second attempt 3:25 I know I'm going to improve
Wow
Awesome 👍👍
I tried right before watching your video and I could hold my breathe for 1‘; after the video and following the techniques you explained I was at 2’40”.
But since the beginning of the year I’m exercising with the Wim Hof Method, that probably helped also.
Thank you for all the information you share on your channel!
that's great Luc! you might wanna watch my 3 minute breathhold video as well! cheers
@@gertleroyshouldn't you be informing them not to do the wim Hoff method ???
Omg! when I tried measuring for fun I was able to hold my breath for about 40 seconds, after trying to do what you said I was able to hold it for 1:36 minutes on the first try and I managed to stay really calm and only felt the urge to breathe in the last few seconds. Will do it a lot more! Thanks.
great 🙏
wow, thank you!! I was able to hold usually 1 minute. Now on first try the timer disrupted me at two minutes, and I was still ok, just after contractions. But i started breathing to reset, and not overdo it :D
Definitely great instruction!
Glad it helped!
Exactly what I need to improve my breath holding. I can do 2:30 minutes but really a challenge. Thanks much.
welcome !
I did 3 min the first time. I used to do a barely 1 min. What a technique! Many thanks!
Great job!
You're such a good instructor. I just now, after watching this video, tried holding my breath following your insctructions, sitting in my chair in my office and I managed to do 2:15, which I never thought possible. There were some minor convulsions later on and my brain really wanted to trick me to breathe, but I just relaxed and it worked. Can't wait to try in the water together with equalization, which I up to this day didn't know existed, so I dove only about 4m max. Thank you.
I really cannot believe this, I started with my personal best at 1:30, and after 30min and literally 4 tries it went up to 2:41. After watching your "How to STATIC APNEA?", it went from 1:30 up to 2:10 in 3 tries (at the 3rd exercise in that video) and after this video and the breathing exercises it went all the way to 2:40. I really cannot believe that it's all in our heads. Great video! I'm gonna check your "hold your breath 3min video" now 😁🤞
awesome! i love it !!
You have to train the mind and train the body. I recommend competitive swimming because it trains the mind and the lungs. Even though I have been doing competitive swimming since I was 6 I still can only hold my breath for about 2:30 seconds
Please watch my 3 Minute breathhold video, and the Playlist BREATHE WITH ME🙏🙏
I have never done it and i got 1.59 first rry
@@konu5033 good!
thanks for the video it really helped a lot🙏🏿 my old record that i made months ago was 1.30 min and right after watching your video i managed to get 1.40 seconds by resting 1 minute between two attempts
great 🙏🙏🙏
Amazing 😮 I tried just before my normal way and managed 1m20s. Then I did exactly what you explained and was able to hold my breath for 3min straight on the first try.
great 🙏
Before learning this technique: ~1m:15s
After learning this technique:
First try: 1m:51.07s
Second try: 2m:13.40s
Third try: 2m:1.80s
🙏
2:20 👌🏽 my O2 saturation went down to 89 % and pulse went up from 60 to 75 bpm without contractions
great. you might wanna watch my 3 minute breathhold video as well
I can hold my breath for 4:00 min.
I've just been practicing for like 1 1/2 months now and looking for more stuff to help me improve.
great! you might wanna try the 5/5 breathe up (mild hyperventilation) ruclips.net/video/QA2GL_koNHM/видео.html
I have been doing the Vim Hof method which makes your breath out and hold. I tried this method and was able to do 2 mins 15 seconds on the second try. So good. I would like to try freediving eventually.
Great. Wim hof hiwever is not used for Freediving. Only for dry practice.
1 min and 45 secs , amazing. Never thought i had this in me.
Before i watched the video i could do 2 minutes and after the video i can do 2 mins 50 seconds :D
awesome!
@@gertleroy i just got 3 mins 😀
@@joi397 yeahhhhh
Is it weird that I can hold my breath for two minutes easily.
that's great !
Wow this method really worked 5 minutes in trying and i got 1 min and 4 seconds now i have to work on relaxing and trying evey day and i will probably get 2.5 mins
don't set goals. Instead enjoy the journey
Yes thx🤙
I set the timmer to two minutes on my watch, it was dark so I couldn't see well. When I took my last breath I pressed the button to activate the timmer only thing is it was on the chronometer and I didn't realize. I held my breath waiting for the beep at two minutes. When I couldn't go any longer I took a breath and looked at my watch and that's when I realized I had started the chronometer insted of the timmer. 3'34 minutes had passed.
awesome ! that's what happens when you forget about time !
👍🏼
First try after whacking the video I hold my breath for 2:23
Awesome!
My previous ‘record’ was 75s. On the first attempt of following your instructions i was able to hold it for 128s. Thank you!
Welcome 🙏
Just added 30 seconds to my breath hold just from the breathing technique thank you mate :)
welcome! please watch the Playlist BREATHING TECHNIQUES for other videos and to get an understanding of what a breathup is actually and what's it used for. For diving or pool diving tidal breathing is the way to breathe up. cheers
Hi, after shorter but increasing duration warmups I managed 5min 1 second, tried 5 days later only managed 4minutes. My urge to breathe kicks in around 2 minutes 30 each time which always overrides my ability to relax lol
nice! on more extended breathholds it's normal the first contraction comes half way
I did it I never thought clearing your mind was a big part I closed my eyes and made when I thought I was about to burst I opened them and saw I had 25 seconds left so I held and made it
Awesome. Relax is the key 🔑
Maybe im late but it was the same to me, I naturally closed my eyes and focused on holding it in, when I opened it was 1:45 and I was like "oh shit hold it a bit more" and got 2:06

Wooow 2 minutes 10 seconds, I came here because I saw a documentary on Netflix about apnea and I want to learn, well something to start
if you wanna learn more check out my link in bio
OMG it worked. before i could only hold it for 40 seconds and now just after 3 attempts I did 2 minutes.
Thanks
Awesome 👍
My grandfather held his breath for 1 min, now he is not breathing
Your grandfather was die ?
Your granrma is a LEGEND
AND DIED A DIED LEGEND
Thanks just went from barely getting 1:30 to getting 2:00 first try
Awesome! You might wanna watch my 3 Minute breathhold video as well 👍
At my First time i did two minutes, i never did so much bevor, thank you so much😊
Lets see how i am doing After a few days of practice!
I did it! Distracting works! My goal, once I overcome the initial mental fear, is 4 minutes.
good. but don't set goals. it's exactly that that stops you from being in the zone. just enjoy the journey, without goals.
@@gertleroy Goals help me. Only difference is that I am in no rush to get to them, so, no stress. 😊
@@opticalraven1935 the dont help you in this case. you only think they do. Completely abandon goals. That's when eventually your breath hold will go up.
Sir Do you have a vedio for equalization 😅
Not yet!
this is literally the best how-to meditate video LOL
Haha thanks yes breathholding is meditation 🙏
Omg I just went from 31 sec to 1minute and 11 sec in just 5minutes thank you🎉
Today's time 2 min 30 sec , contractions came after 2 min ,quite improvement in just 2 days❤.thanks a lot😊
Great job!
When i do the yogic breathing i clear my mind near instantly my hearing basically cuts out and i cam focus but i also get some weird feeling like someone is hitting my head with something really soft
your brain is liking what it's feeling. that's good ;-)
I really never can relax
trying the yogic breathing was so crazy man, I felt like I was floating after a couple breaths, it's some wild shit
I do breathwork first like wim hof or tummo and it puts my body and mind in such a calm state that I forget I am holding my breath.
Great 🙏. Don't forget that wim hof is heavy hyperventilation and should never be done in the water for safety reasons. Cheers
Fantastic info! I love free diving. It’s pretty relaxing to hold one’s breath and feel the pressure of the water, once you dive deeper and deeper. It’s a bit scary when you start a free fall. One thing I wouldn’t recommend beginners is not to hyperventilate before the dive.
absolutely. this video is not meant as a breathup for freediving. it's a way to get beginners going on a dry static breath hold
Thank you for giving me confidence.
🙏
