Do This 1 Minute Exercise to Build Up Your CO2 Tolerance | Part 2

🌬️ "Breathe Light and Air Hunger: Building Up CO2 Tolerance - Part 2: 1 Minute" 🌬️

Welcome back to Part 2 of our groundbreaking "Breathe Light" series with Patrick McKeown! In this exciting installment, we continue our exploration of breathing light and mastering air hunger to supercharge your carbon dioxide tolerance.

👉 Dive deeper into techniques for conquering shortness of breath (air hunger).
👉 Elevate your ability to remain calm and centred under stress.
👉 Boost oxygen uptake in your blood for peak performance and holistic well-being.

The art of "breathe light" takes you on a transformative journey, enhancing your capacity to adapt to varying levels of carbon dioxide (CO2). CO2, far from being a mere waste product, is a vital cue that shapes our breathing patterns and influences our physiological equilibrium.

As we progress through this enlightening series, you'll uncover the profound impact of "breathe light" exercises. By embracing CO2 tolerance, you open doors to improved cerebral blood flow, optimizing the Bohr Effect's benefits. This unique interplay between CO2 and oxygen facilitates greater oxygen delivery to tissues and organs, enriching your vitality and health.

Join Patrick McKeown as he imparts expert guidance, unveiling the remarkable potential within your breath. Let's harness the power of breath to harness better health, performance, and holistic balance.

Wow this is wonderful, I'm feeling amazing results instantaneously

In the Marine Corps they taught us to breath through our nose when running. Seemed like torture, but knowing what little I know about CO2 now, makes sense.

This is probably my favorite of all your videos & teachings because it has helped me the most. Even though I've been doing the other exercises for awhile, I didn't notice the change as much as I have with this one. Learning how to breathe properly has been absolutely essential for "healing" a pelvic floor organ prolapse as well as re-aligning my posture, losing weight, resolving my myopia (!!) & calming down in general. Would be great to see Patrick interview Nathan Oxenfeld, a Bates Vision teacher, as they both hold proper breathing in such high regard.

Thank you so much Patrick I appreciate how you guide through this giving all the information at perfect points almost as if you know exactly what I need to hear. Started 4 weeks ago with CP 6!!!! Its now at 18 🥰🥰 2 weird side benefits: 1) not slouching anymore!! My shoulders are behind my breasts seen from the side. Yes I understand most women look like that now I do too! Yay 2) My teeth are getting much whiter (I have used mouthtape for longer than 3 weeks). I guess more saliva as well as generally less stress are taking care of my teeth. I also am coming off ADHD medicines (lesser dosage but dont want to overdo it). So these drugs contribute to bad teeth. Another: Yay!!!! My back aches sometimes and gets spasm its weird but it feels like I just have never used those intercostal muscels in the rib cage at the back. I also feel taller, but suppose this is just a feeling lol
Have to add one more thing: I am speaking less and actually becoming a better listener. Its so amazing. I also speak more slowly as I feel I am always conscientious about not breathing in with my mouth. It is great, I notice other ppl are talking much more. Its nice and relaxing not to be the entertainer at all times 😂
God bless you ❤

[comire]

Everything you said worked for me, thank you very much

[JoshuaKhosa]

Look at Patrick compared to 8 years ago, he never looked bad but he looks considerably healthier now

[khaledsaddem]

Thak you for these precious informations...how can i reduce dry mucus membranes...can you show me some execices and technics...thank you for all...

[andrefarinha]

Yes. This is true. Focus only on the air entering the nose, like the air its going against the face.
In the beginning i was paying to much attention to the ribcage, and this led me to overthink destroing the benefits. Plus focusing on the ribcage was making me overbreath because i wanted to feel the ribcage expand and i was forcing it too much.
Into the face not up the nose is key to breath well, while focused on the nose area.
One thing that triggers me is that, okay i am breathing super relaxed almost no air in a n out, but i can´t feel my ribcage move.
Can you please confirm me if i am breathing like this the ribcage is functioning in the right way.
Because as i don´t sense the ribcage move i tend to think that i am not doing it the right way and in my head i was always teached that the more it moves the better !!😅
Thank you for your work !!

Hi Patrick, do you have any tips to deal with involuntary responses due to this exercise? I find I can do one or two low and slow breaths but my body starts to fight the exercise and force me to either inhale or exhale faster. Is this just something that will go away over time?

[samgonzalez]

does this mean we shouldn't be contracting the torso in order to force more air out upon exhalation? Effortless exhalation for me means the lungs are never fully emptied; is that normal?

[joeybidner]

It would be great if you had a video on breathing for a sport like boxing. Really intense 3 minute rounds and a 1 minute recovery. What's the best way to breathe in that kind of situation for max recovery? Been trying to slow down breathing in this 1 min recovery time to increase oxygen release.

[VishalYadav-ygug]

The problem with me is when i tend to inhale slowly i feel like my brain has stopped taking any air inside at all and after the slow exhale my body reflex is to just gush in as much air as i can.

[stormtraders]

My control pause is about 5 seconds. I feel like suffocating all day, it’s horrible. Is this the way to go combined with good cardio? Or is cardio not helping with this.
