I now did this for some time now, almost every day. On the first tries, I begun to panic when my body told me to breath and it was very hard to fight against it. I could not get tocthe 2 minute mark most of the time. Now I stay calm and collected - it's astonishing, how practice makes this so much easier and I can now alwaye get to the 2 minute mark. I feel very relaxed after doing this table. I do it before going to sleep and it helps to calm down. I think, I will try the 2:30 in the near future. :-) Thanks so much!
This was amazing! My previous longest hold was 45 seconds, but I've been watching some of your content and taking it all in, and I was so surprised that I made it to the 2 minute mark, I've never ever done that before. I also really love that you did it in a busy environment with lots of distractions, even a dam ambulance which always gets people heightened! Great chance to stay focused and calm. Really enjoyed this entire experience!
That was tough but doable. I used to just do a ton of rabdom breath holding as a kid and got just over the 2:30 mark. For that last bit, I used to move to distract; pace around, move limbs to take the focus away. The peaceful nature of relaxation helps. Just leaning into the suck. I almost didn't get through this and was starting to get uncomfortable at 1:30. Thank you for giving me faith to believe I could do it. Amazing resource!
Thanks to a lot of your videos, I was able to hit 3 minutes 20 seconds in the water. 4 minutes is right around the corner. As I get closer, contractions are less of a problem and much more comfortable. Your videos are inspirational.
This is great content. Your presentation, style and format are excellent. Thank you so much for this. Two days ago I tested myself before I found your videos and held for 55 seconds. After watching one of your videos yesterday I did 2:10. Following this video today I did 2:40. I never would have thought it possible. This is great training, thank you.
Around 1 minute and 45 seconds, the urge to breathe kept growing, and I was on the verge of giving up. My chest felt like it was about to explode, but in the end, I made it. Thank you for your helpful video. ☺
I did it. Great training. I watched your video on 2 min. breathe hold yesterday and I managed to hold my breathe for 2 minutes several times during the day. I did it after a couple of breathes. My record is 2:35 now. It was much easier than I expected. Relaxation is really the key.
Wow. Thank you Gert! As with many things in life, a great coach makes the difference. Great way to prep for diving as well as my daily work outs. It truly is peace in every breath.
I’ve only ever done a 1 minute breath hold a couple times, and watching this I went up to 1:30 on the first try. Great video! I’ll keep coming back until I can hit the 2:00
I am so excited to have found you! Back in 2019 I had a 3 minute breath-hold but due to pools closing & all I lost it - today I was able to easily do these tables and will move on to your next tables with hopes of building back to 3 minutes. Thank you so much!
Wonderful! 💥💥 Focus on the process and everything you learn, and don't set goals. Making progress on breathholding is easier without setting goals. peace ✌️
I have been taking a freediving course in the phillipines with evolve / mark. During which i find your videos and had immediate progression with duck diving, finning, breath hold and doubled my time and depth underwater. Following your table i managed, with holding my nose shut for the last 20-15 seconds each round. With a breathing technique i did 05:15 holding shut for about 50 seconds. You are a big help ❤
For the first time in my life, I made 150 seconds. A quiet amazing video with your voice in background, I will keep trying till 2 min. Thank you coach 🙏 💯 💙
I DID IT! Today is my first time to reach the 2-minute mark. Deep focus is really the key. Thanks for this video, Gert. Hope you're enjoying your stay here in the Philippines.👌
Yep I got it after trying this video twice. I found that I wasn't quite breathing in deep enough, so I had to really fill up my lungs and it worked better.
Did it, 1st time! Practiced last week using the 1':30" video which definitely helped. Will spend this week on the 2' min breathhold. Thanks Gert for this great resource!
I was able to complete the 2 minutes :), which is now a PB and I am looking forward to the natural progression. Thanks for your content, it is very helpful. -Greg
Hello Gert, because i cannot hold my breath long i search here some information on youtube. So between al the other youtubers i shoose you. Afterwards i see we are from the same country hehe. Afteri do 1 week the 1:30 min exercise, i try today the 2 min. And YEEAAH i succeed. It was hard to reach the end but your support on the end helps me really to reach the end. Thanks and greetings. Ik had dat ook in het Nederlands kunnen schrijven, maar dan kunnen de anderen dat niet lezen hé groetjes.
@@gertleroy Wel ik verblijf zo'n 6 a7 maanden op de Filipijnen. Wij wonen hier aan de zee en voor ons is een rif waar ik altijd op ga snorkelen. En soms wil ik eens wat dieper gaan kijken. zo een 2 a 3 meter. Maar tegen dat ik daar ben moet ik al terug naar de oppervlakte. Daarom ben ik ook bezig met het oefenen van de duckdive en dat gaat redelijk goed. Men doel is 4 minuten; of dat haalbaar is zal ik nog wel zien.
Saved video, I reached 1:30 2 times in a row. I think with a little more time and practice 2 minutes is closer than I thought. Thanks for the tutorial.
@@gertleroy 2:05 secs achieved this morning. I found out nose clips help with my equalization too. This method is so much better than hyperventilating.
I habe ADHD in combination with autism and it‘s so difficult for me to mediate although I know it‘s good for me. But doing it in combination with the challenge of holding my breath helps me so much in focusing! I love to swim, dive and snorkel and was so frustrated could only do 35 seconds with struggle. But now I just did 2 min! How?! I know when I dive it will be more difficult since my body uses more O2 to move under water, but this is so motivating! I just love the mix of mediation, challenge and and anticipation. :D
Hey Gert! These videos are great! A great way to practice static apnea. I like the fact that you are constantly giving verbal instructions and encouragement, cos it allows me to just close my eyes and focus on relaxing, knowing that I can just follow your voice. I've got the SSI level 1 freedive, but in about 2 months I'm going to be doing a zero to hero program. So I'll be using your tables to help me practice my breath holds. 💪🏻
I just started preparing for a freediving course i'll be taking next year. I really liked the way you seem to make this easy, 2 minutes no problem, thanks, i'll be sticking around. :)
Did it. Barelly, but did it. The verbal encouragment really helps. But even after two weeks of doing this table I still feel a lot of preasure at the sternum which wanna make me freak out and start breathing. Contractions start around 50sek.
This REALLY helps. I was able to hold my breath for 1min30 yesterday but now i've just held my breath for 3mins10secs. I didn't expect i could do this after just one night lol. thx gert. Update: my chest hurt a bit,is it because i did it too many times?
Thank you for those cool videos. I love them all. I did it. I hope I can do the 3 min breath hold as well. I guess the 4 min breath hold will be a struggle.
keep in mind breathholding is all about mindset. if you feel embarrassed it's because YOU WANT TO feel embrassed. so stop doing that. instead progress gradually and embrace the process. peace 🙏
I don't think I believe in myself enough that whenever Gert says "and we are already halfway," I find myself mentally screaming LIEEESSSS just bcos I thought I couldn't do it
I would like to share my experience if it could help someone. I got to 1:15 easily but when I tried the 1:30 I started to stress because it felt like it was so far from 1:15 and it made me give up at 1:10. I then went back to 1:15 with the intention to just hold my breath 10sec extra. In the end I easily got to 2min and felt like I could even much longer to be honest. Also Gert thank you very much for the video 👍🏼
take it easy. no need to go in overdrive. This takes time, and time is the solution to all breathholds :-) Practise again in a couple of days. all the best !
Hello Gert, today's training is done! but I would like to propose if possible for 15 or 30 days, you post different apnea training videos for us to do at home so that we can improve! What do u think 🤔??
hi Dercio! what do you mean exactly? there are quite some different exercises on my channel already as well in pool as on dry? what are you referring to ?
@@gertleroy I’m saying daily training, like this one u posted!! ok, imagine you doing a challenge with your channel participants, for example, for a week we will do daily training that you will share with us and at the end of the week or 15 days as you see fit we will tell you how much our apnea was before and after training days!!
@@derciopinto9350 I see what you mean. You're talking about a training plan. I'll see what I can do. Please watch this video : ruclips.net/video/bDfGYwySnBk/видео.html
a couple of times (minimum 3) with always a day in between. focus on getting to 2 minutes without much effort. when you get there, you're ready to move on.
So do you do this warm-up while in the water to get to your "max" breath? i.e. if you can hold your breath for 10min, you do a couple 7min dives before going for your 10min dives? My wife and I and very new to this since we recently moved to an island and we want to snorkel for the first time 😃. Today is the first time doing these breath-holds and I am happy (and surprised) to see that I can consistently do 3:15sec+ and I was able to break the 4:08sec once! (I did 8 "reps"...5min here I come!)
I managed to get to 1:21. Which is 58 seconds more than I thought I would manage, seeing as I only developed an interest in freediving this morning, albeit with some practice (long) before then.
Man after a month of practice it’s still very difficult. Make a video on a training regime. To many videos to choose from lol! Maybe a “6 weeks to 3 minute breath hold.” ???
change your mindset. the fact you're wondering about other people already tells me your focus is in the wrong place. whatever it is you're doing, dont compare yourself to others.
Thanks that was fun and relaxing look forward to doing it again or pushing to 2:30. Question, sometime I struggle with the fact I want to take a big breath filling up all my lungs, but then I might feel some tension in the chest. I'm assuming this will decrease my hold time? Is there a way to stretch for bigger holds or is it just practice. Also, for anyone else out there I carry tension in my jaw and I find relaxing the jaw and tongue really helps my breath times.
feeling pressure in the chest is quite normal in the initial stage of a breathhold, espacially when you do it on dry land. It goes away after some time. Please watch my playlist STRETCHING FOR FREEDIVING. cheers

Thanks Gert, nice table it really helped when near the end of the 2 min table when you said just keep going. Cheers;)
Always keep going 😊👍👍
That was tough but doable.
I used to just do a ton of rabdom breath holding as a kid and got just over the 2:30 mark. For that last bit, I used to move to distract; pace around, move limbs to take the focus away. The peaceful nature of relaxation helps. Just leaning into the suck.

take it easy. no need to go in overdrive. This takes time, and time is the solution to all breathholds :-) Practise again in a couple of days. all the best !
Hello Gert, today's training is done!
but I would like to propose if possible for 15 or 30 days, you post different apnea training videos for us to do at home so that we can improve!
What do u think 🤔??
hi Dercio! what do you mean exactly? there are quite some different exercises on my channel already as well in pool as on dry? what are you referring to ?
@@gertleroy I’m saying daily training, like this one u posted!!
ok, imagine you doing a challenge with your channel participants, for example, for a week we will do daily training that you will share with us and at the end of the week or 15 days as you see fit we will tell you how much our apnea was before and after training days!!
I don’t now if I make myself clear kakakak

focus on relaxation, not on training. leanrn the skill of being relaxed. watch my Playlist meditation techniques for freediving
So disappointing that I still can’t finish this! I know it’s not a contest but it makes me wonder if some people just can’t do it lol
change your mindset. the fact you're wondering about other people already tells me your focus is in the wrong place. whatever it is you're doing, dont compare yourself to others.
ive seen your videos that you are here in the Philippines.
I'm in Panglao
Thanks that was fun and relaxing look forward to doing it again or pushing to 2:30. Question, sometime I struggle with the fact I want to take a big breath filling up all my lungs, but then I might feel some tension in the chest. I'm assuming this will decrease my hold time? Is there a way to stretch for bigger holds or is it just practice. Also, for anyone else out there I carry tension in my jaw and I find relaxing the jaw and tongue really helps my breath times.
feeling pressure in the chest is quite normal in the initial stage of a breathhold, espacially when you do it on dry land. It goes away after some time. Please watch my playlist STRETCHING FOR FREEDIVING. cheers
Can you do 3mins next?
ok i'll do
Cannot last more than 40".... :-(
weird, as sometimes I cannot do 30 seconds, but I managed 2 minutes once. Really depends on how relaxed you are
