Thank you for this. I noticed two things, I released a bit of air at one point and I started thinking yes, this is static breath hold, underwater we move. I know I can do myself but would you do a guided breath hold where we are moving walking? Thank you
I thought I was only gonna last 20 seconds, I’m so shocked that I was able to hold my breath for the whole minute! Your techniques are brilliant! Thank you :)
Gert. Your much calmer, relaxed, and soothing style of commentary on this video is far better suited to the chilling-out required in freediving. Great video & the progressive style is suitable for everyone. Brilliant 👏
I got to the 40 seconds, it was so challenging that I decided to try again tomorrow to get to 50 and 60 seconds. Thanks! 40 seconds is longer than I’ve ever done before.
Hello Gert Leroy, my favourite freediving youtuber ! :) I was wondering if you go to Nemo 33 sometimes, and you are a freediving instructor as well ? Much obliged for the information. Kind regards.
@gertleroy, I have a question! first of all, i love the channel, started doing a lot of breathing exercises. doing better with breatholds. now i breathe slower than before in regular life as well, having much higher co2 threathold, more calm. i'm thrilled! thank you!! i was curious about the following: i'm reading now about diving on nitrox (a different discipline, i know!). but (!!!) they say that if you retain co2 more than regular folk, it can increase the potential for oxygen toxicity. i presume that more co2 in your bloodstream --> more o2 absorbed when you breathe a higher o2% mixture like nitrox. question: do freedivers have to behave super cautiously if they were ever to dive on nitrox and breathe more than they usually do to retain lower co2 levels?
Hi, I believe I can answer your question. So there are a few main limitations of scuba diving. The ultimate depth limit of a mix is limited at the point the oxygen gets toxic (at 1.6 partial pressures (ppO2)). Another limitation is your decompression obligation. This is one of the main reasons people dive nitrox mixes (it gives them longer time in the water for the same deco limits). So regarding your question, I doubt any increased safety margin needs to be added as scuba divers already dive conservatively to their limits (especially regarding O2 toxicity). The recreational limit set for your ppO2 is 1.4. Additionally the long term limit that effects your central nervous system is known as your CNS%. Divers try to never go past 80% of their CNS limit. (Also at shallow recreational depths, getting anywhere close to that threshold very hard). So even if free divers are slightly more susceptible to O2 toxicity, I would say that is not a worry. The far far bigger issue as you get deeper with CO2 is work of breathing due to gas mixes. Heavier gases are harder to breathe under pressure. This extra work can cause a build up of CO2. But I think due to the higher tolerance, breath holders are probably safer. There's so much more to diving science so this is a very short summary of some concepts, but hoped this helped!
@@jobinjose8156 it depends on how bad or good you're swimming. it's all about technique. if you're a bad swimmer maybe 30 seconds.. if you're a good swimmer maybe a minute.. it's about technique and hie relax you are ( most people are anxious)
I got 50 on my first try.. i only last until 24sec on the last round.. thanks for this, someone from tiktok recommended your channel to me :) great help
Hi Gert, I just got an email from you with the offer to train me via zoom? Live training? Just wanted to make sure the email is really from you before I sign up?

@@msarikah guided apnea walking? that's actually a good idea.. 🙏🙏
@@gertleroy Oh thank you!!!! 🎉🎉

Glad you enjoyed it!
:D
Thank you sir first time i hold my breath for a minute. WOW
great 🙏

Great job!
I practice by watching your videos every day. Thanks for creating such helpful content!
Happy to hear that!
Thanks for this new video !! 😊
Hope you enjoyed it!
this video is very helpful ! thank you a lot ! This is my first day of Breath Hold 💪
Glad it helped!
Mind is the key 😆😌
correct
I Tried just now
1 min 36 sec 😍
🙏🙏
Thank you that help alot❤❤❤
welcome 🙏
Almost died but made it 🎉
I hacked the system by just hearing my heartbeat and nothing else, so relaxing i almost felt i was breathing actually
maybe you were 😉
@@gertleroy nah why would i be breathing, i was actually holding ma breath, what i meant is i felt like i had enought breath for 3 mins or smth
@@aereoplane.143 awesome if you felt that relaxed !
please take a look at the other videos in the description

yes to both, but currently not in belgium and not doing open water courses, only online 🙏

I'm not familiar with scuba/technical diving..
but I've never heard of what you're describing..
where did you hear or read this?

What about when swimming cause I can do 2 mins not moving but I will be moving underwater
your underwater time will be less cause you're using energy / oxygen
@@gertleroyHow much will the difference be sir?

Got to the 60 seconds countdown but only could hold it till 28 sec will try again tomorrow.
try the 45ecs table
Where is this link please? @@gertleroy
I made it to 60 seconds yippee
Do you have a video on cnf technique going down?
it's the same technique as DNF. search for gert leroy DNF
I'm 11 years and learning from you
nice 🙏
Now I can hold my breath for 2 minutes
@@adamjulian2961 cool. so you can watch this video 2x without breathing!
@littlesgw6635 🙏
I was so close to 40secs
nice I am responding to comments as I hold my breath
For the first time I found breath hold easy thank you
nice 🙏
I got 50 on my first try.. i only last until 24sec on the last round.. thanks for this, someone from tiktok recommended your channel to me :) great help
great! take it easy 🙏
If someone is able to do the whole process just by the breathing nose, is that better or worse than doing it by nose and mouth?
breathing in between breathholds is through the nose. Only the final breath you take through mouth.
Wow!!!! I made it!!!!! Fantastic!
Thank you, sir!
You are most welcome
I did it thank you
🙏
تحياتي لك 🎉شكرا لك 🎉🙏🙏🙏🌹👍👍

Hi Gert, I just got an email from you with the offer to train me via zoom? Live training? Just wanted to make sure the email is really from you before I sign up?
I made it all the way to the end
Yessss, i did it sir Gert, thank you so much.❤
Great job!
