I can Hold my breath up to 1 minute 30 seconds outside water, But inside water after 30 seconds itself I start feeling urge to breath
@Prashanth same here, it gets really annoying g sometimes

@@gertleroy OK, I'll do that when I have some time.

Yooo my brother is great at this he’s been sitting on the bottom of the pool for like 4 hours now
That's because your brother is a turtle 🐢
Is he still there lol. 😂
@@laurazoing3632 probably..
woahhhhhh
he dead lol
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 💃
Great 👍👍
How long could you hold your breath now
How long can u hold now
& I would say the same thing if it wasn’t gone after 5 minutes
I did two minutes..but never in water ..relax in bck seated position
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!
good to know !
I can hold my breath for 16 hours

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 😊
Nice work!
@@gertleroy thank you 😊
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
Great job!
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!
Thanks and well done ✌️
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.
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!
It's a mental sport so usually we get better at it as we age 😊. Welcome. To the channel 🙏
results? @jimmy Pribble
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!
awesome 🙏🙏
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!
awesome 🙏🙏🙏🙏
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!
Nice to hear Rachel ! you also wanna try the exercises in my playlist WITH ME, e.g. the 10x30" table all the best
@@olg.__ sounds kinky
"Mermaiding"????????????????????
@@gabrielnunes7407 its a sport :)
😊
Amazing. I went from always failing at around 30 seconds to easily holding my breath for more than a minute using the yogic breath technique.
Great 👍
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 😊
Awesome 👍👍
I did this method in three tries and made excellent progress from 1 minute to 2 minutes and 20 seconds. Thank you, you are a true teacher
great 💥💥
This is the BEST video about holding breath I habe ever seen, amazing!
Went from around 30 seconds all the way to a minute just in my first few tries. Thanks alot Gert!
Fantastic!
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. 😀
Great 👍
2:10 😀 Moving to the next videos.
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.
@@gertleroy thanks! I will watch that before swimming. Besides, I don’t swim much in the winter
@@emoney451 🙏
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.
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!!
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. 💯
Great job!
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.
awesome! all the best 🙏
@@gertleroy❤😢
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
Nice work!
Very helpful master Leroy, 😍😍thank you so much 🙏
My max breath hold before was 1:40 and I just did everything you said and tried and just got 2:54.97, definitely helped!
Awesome 👍
🙏
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🎉😊
Wonderful! 🙏
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.
great 🙏
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!
Great 🙏🙏
First time I got 1'33" and i tried one more time and I got 2'30". Thank you sooo much!
Great 👍👍
I got 1:13
And then 2:24

I got like 1:24 the first time and 1:21 the second time xd help!
@@michi2609 practise on taking the final breath and being comfortable with all that air in your lungs 🙏
dude i just held my breath for 2,27min i didn’t even think that i could hold it for 1 min. thanks alot! this is surprisingly useful :)
well done 🙏
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!
Wonderful!
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.
before this video my best was 1:52, and after these techniques it increased to 2:21! you are amazing :)
Awesome! Thank you!
Very impressed, thx Gert. 1 minute was a struggle before, just followed your steps and made 2min28 on first try.
Nice work!
honestly, I did it and it felt easier than I had anticipated. Great channel man, I'm subscribed!
cheers Hassan all the best !
Wow thank you so much man! I went from a minute to 2 minutes 30 in ONE TRY. Awesome tips 👍
Wow, I couldn’t go beyond a minute before, after watching this video I got to 2:45! Thanks man, great instructions!
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 !
Just subbed in your channel after making my very first 2 min and 4 sec breath hold. I just did everything you said except that i only did the exercise shorter (around 1 min or 2). Thanks man!
Great job!
Love this approach!
great! you can also watch my 3 minute breathhold video :-)
I started yesterday and got 50 seconds most times, I’ve been doing it for a couple of hours now and my best is 1:40, this video is great!
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 ✌️
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.
awesome! you've put the theory into practise !💪💪
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
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 🙏
First time and 2 minutes exactly. Almost died thou aahehehe but did it!
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! Your tips are really helpful especially to a newbie in freediving like me ❤️
Glad it works ✌️
Thank you for this instruction. 2.05 min. with my first try, 2.34 with the second. I enjoy!
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
thanks man please also watch this one: ruclips.net/video/obBRZiRyIMY/видео.html
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. 😁🐟🌊
Keep it up!
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
Great! Take it easy to with progress. Patienxe is the key 🗝️
Love your training, and videos thank you
My pleasure!
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)!!! ❤
good 💥
Awesome. Im new to this and first attempt was 1min 55 seconds.....Thanks so much Gert. You are awesome
well done ✌️
@@gertleroy Day 2......2min 28 sec after watching your 3 minute breathe hold tutorial...pretty exciting stuff
@@antonymartin2522 haha. welcome to freediving ✌️✌️
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
That's awesome! Yeah, keep on practising you will get better over time cheers
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!
Good job 💯💯
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!
great! all the best 🙏
I’ve been training to hold my breath on my own and just decided to search for a technique. Wow, first try and 3:45. Thank you!!!
awesome! please also watch my 3 minute breathhold video !
My previous ‘record’ was 75s. On the first attempt of following your instructions i was able to hold it for 128s. Thank you!
Welcome 🙏
Thanks its working❤❤
Great video and tips. Did 4:04 first attempt. Going to make 5 minutes my new goal! Thanks for these. Keep em coming.
awesome! all the best 🙏
Lol.. i got exactly 4:04 too 😊
It worked!!! 2:32 minutes! My best before your Video was around 1:20.
Thank you so much!
You're welcome!
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.
great. yes it doesnt have to be necessarily for breathholding!
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.
I did over 2 minutes laying very uncomfortably on the couch holding my phone watching you. Felt like i could have done more
Good. Next time don't watch your phone. Close your eyes
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 ???
Thank you very much for teaching us this. It helps me very much to hold my breath more than a Minute and before your video it was 46sek . Thank you veryyy much 👍
welcooooome
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 !!
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
Amazing! thank you, first attempt 2:15 and second attempt 3:25 I know I'm going to improve
Wow
Awesome 👍👍
Guau, estoy maravillado por el vídeo, pensé que no aguantaría más de 50 segundos, y con esta explicación en el primer intento hice 150 segundos, y creo que podría haber aguantado 2 minutos más, ya que no tuve ningún espasmo, pero como era la primera vez, quise parar por si me fuese a pasar algo. Otra vez lo haré con algún amigo presente y trataré de llegar a 4 minutos. Gracias
Love this video! Informational & entertaining! 🌴✨
Thank you 🙏☺️
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 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
way to go ✌️👏🙏👏✌️👏🙏
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!
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
I did 3 min the first time. I used to do a barely 1 min. What a technique! Many thanks!
Great job!
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

I tried a couple days ago and got a 1:50second time without your lesson.
Then i watched your video a day later and tried it again.. I did what you mentioned and managed to get a ( 2:30!! ) on the first go 😁 👌 it works.
Now I'm going to give this a few more tries to make sure i can do the the same time, then move to the 3 minutes video.
Thank YOU!

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

Thank you so much 🙏 it really help me for my living 😊 since pandemic i been spear fishing cause I lost my job. Ds tips really help me a lot ❤️
thanks. for diving however we use tidal breathing, not the 1-2 (or 3-6) breathing described in this video.
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 🙏🙏🙏
Is it weird that I can hold my breath for two minutes easily.
that's great !
Bro my grandpa is great at this....i said this is healthy exercise and recommended it to him ...its been a year but he is been layin and holdin his breath without eating or doin anything...he is so amazing right?
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 🙏
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
Sir Do you have a vedio for equalization 😅
Not yet!
Wow man, great thanks. I want to learn freediiving since a while, until now my longest brethhold was a little bit over 1 minute, but with your advices I got easliy up to 2 min 30 sec and I thik I can do better. Thanx
Great to hear! 🙏
At my First time i did two minutes, i never did so much bevor, thank you so much😊

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 2:45!!! I can't believe it! Your tips were so helpful! Thanks for helping us to begin doing this!!
You're so welcome!
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
First try after whacking the video I hold my breath for 2:23
