what NOT to do during breath training

[bloopbloopbloopbloopbloop]

The brain can start incurring damage as quickly at the 3 minute mark. It depends on the individual and you wouldn't know until the damage has already happened.

Maybe Kevin isn’t as annoying as you think when he’s trying to literally keep you alive 😂😂😂😂

[toastyy_cat]

Kevin sounds like someone who's experienced failure so many times he doesn't want anyone else to go through it. I think you gotta teach him it's okay to make mistakes because they make us stronger. He just wants to protect you :(

My cousin was military trained and died in his parents pool, having a breath holding contest. Leaving behind his wife and baby.
Be careful under the water.

A whole video about ignoring your safety limiters without acknowledging the danger is an interesting choice

everyone remember, just because you can doesn't mean you should. Be careful, even if it doesn't have visible effects lack of oxygen to the brain can do damage (& the time you have before it becomes a probem varies from person to person & I would not be surprised if this was only tested on men & it's different for women knowing everything that was exclusively tested on (fit young) men or even if they had women like one or two just to say they did before being declared as universal I would not put it past the research on this)

Coming from an ex lifeguard: even if you know you are good at something, an athlete, etc., you can still drown. Always be careful, in her situation she has people watching her and watching for warning signs. When you're in a pool having a competition you don't have that. I can't tell you how often it was that kids would start drowning doing this stuff, etc.

Kevin the dragon isnt annoying, its built to help u survive😭

[fulcrum_is_alive]

I was holding my breath the entire time 😂

[JustADudeGamer]

Getting a reliable spotter is key with any breath holding in water. There's risks to breath holding in air but if you pass out you'll probably be fine. In water, not so much.

[kassidy]

The brain develops brain damage after 4-5 minutes, so trying to hold it for that lonbis definitely a horrible idea...

[aimeecooke]

I would but my "Kevin" just so happens to be asthma... 💀

[knifeturtle]

my jaw dropped when you turned around and went back!

[KamrynBrake-ic]

Kevin: I think it’s been a little longer. I think it needs some air
Me: No, it’s fine






I died
God: why you not listen to Kevin
Me:I just need to go for a few more minutes

As an artistic swimmer, videos like this helps me alot I do it at a national level and we need to hold our breath max 1 min. Thanks alot!

Instructuons unclear, I passed out underwater😊

Training for a marathon right now, and the hardest part is learning to tune out your brain. Your mind wants to quit so much faster than your body. The importance of mental resilience isn't talked about enough

[CrIzPŷ_TuX]

Not me just casually bopping my head to absolutely nothing while holding my breath for the entire time.

[nicoleacosta]

I feel like your advice can also be useful for when you want to push yourself harder in your own career or studies. Thank you!!!

I was a competitive synchronized swimmer for 5 years (for those who don’t know synchronized swimming mostly consists of being underwater doing moves and stuff so we need to hold our breaths for long periods of time while focusing on doing complicated movements) and in training/warm ups we would swim 25 metres in one breath and called it under waters or unders in short, at first it was so hard to even do it in the first place and when you first completed your under you felt really light headed (my friend even said she felt like passing out the first time she did her unders) and needed a good 1-3 minutes to recover but with training and doing it so often it became so easy and only took maybe a few seconds to recover and keep going with warm ups(1ish years maybe). For me I wouldn’t think about how long I needed to swim or how much more I just swam, a trick was to stay close to the bottom or on the bottom of the pool and how I thought about doing it was one stroke at a time and my mind would kinda be off in another place like you with singing a song or I was thinking about stuff going on in my life, looking back at it I do feel like for atleast the first little bit of an under it truly didn’t feel like I was underwater it was calming. Panicking isn’t going to do anything for you when holding your breath underwater you know your limits and you know if you can go just a little more to push yourself to do better.

Also years after quitting Syncro I tried timing how long I could hold my breath and it was around 1:40 not sure exactly how long but around that
