I"m surprised I did it. I used a heart rate device to monitor my HR pulse, lowest was 35bmp, max time was 4:05. Thanks Gert, your videos really helped. I can see my improvements.

Thanks for your personnallity and your guidance !! You are a inspiration for me !! Sorry for my bad english, I speack French in life. Thanks again !!

Thx for this nice training session. it was a nice change of pace since before, I did my breath-holding session while listening to my favorite tracks (rock songs). Personal record in the past was 3m30s / 3m40s (a few years ago when I did both freediving and scuba actively). Now went back to practicing breath holds, did 4m10s (with music), and reached 4m20s (til the end of the video) with your "quiet" method. Gotta make more observations, but I think I'm loving it (still have problems with clearing my mind and stopping thinking during a breath hold)

Good breathing techniques are amazing for our health and wellbeing because they actually work!

Net voor de eerste keer eens geprobeerd, ik kwam tot 3:30, toch erg blij mee, had niet verwacht dat ik tot zover zou komen :)

[AlexanderEast]

This has been super helpful! Any chance we can pleeeease get the same for a 5 and even 6 minute breath hold? The guided hold helps a lot.

i like the way you teach this tables! but i think this specific table needs one more warm up between 2 and 4:00 minutes. Maybe 2:45.Thanks for the excelent job and colaboration in youtube, Gert.

[stayfocused]

I find it much easier to do 4:00 when I do the time tables. I did 11 rounds going from 1:30 and adding 15 seconds in each round with 2:00 breathing between each at 3:30 it was the end of my exercise but I held it till 4:05 which was quite easy. This is my first time exercise after 4 years break - is there anything bad with this approach ?

[julienvierin]

Hey Gert! I managed to do 4:30 then 4:48 in apnea, never reached those numbers before! I realized that some days 4 mins it's easy but most others it seem endless! Maybe too much focus on numbers won't allow me to relax properly, i guess! Btw are there some kind of damages doing this frequently? I have learned a lot about this discipline ultimately and i think there aren't, but just to be sure 100% ! Thanks in advance!

[cameronblyth]

Thanks gert I really enjoyed that. I got there on the second try. Are there longer holds coming up in the future videos?

[SpearoWannabe]

ohh i struggle at 3+mins. gonna repeat it another day💪💪💪

[fantios]

You are awesome 🌷👍Eagerly waiting for your new video...

Honesty I've upgraded my level thanks to you 🎉🎉🎉


We please want a video for your daily exercise routine once your time permits.

Hi Gert, I was expecting a live but that’s cool too. I watched the video and I do kinda similar. 3 sessions, or even 4, starting with low time breathold, up to a certain target or eventually trying a new PB. My latest is 5:32 and Im kind of stuck there. I target 6 but… it aint working at the moment. I was advised to do dry apnea sessions lying down ( I use a thin pillow). Is sitting better or its up to our preference? Nice video by the way, like the relaxing comments!

[Gabz]

Hey Gert my friends are starting freediving/breath holding. can you do a "hold your breath with me" up till 1 min and 30 seconds or 1 min 45 secs
Thank you it would really help😁😁🙏

[fhflkwjlisjeflsjliejf]

Great video! Do you know how much o2 is still in the lungs by the time the first diaphragm contractions start to appear? And should you be more worried about building up to much Co2 or having to few o2 while holding your breath? I could not find an answer to these questions online. So i thought maybe you would know :)

[TheJokerfro]

Nice video!
I have one question, if I do static with pulse oximeter, how far i can go with falling level of O2 (90, 80, 70%)? which value I should not to cross?

[nicolasquiroga]

Gert, your job is absolutely awesome. Im in miami for ten days, i really want to take a beginners course. Could you please give me any recommendations? I appreciate it!
