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!
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!
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!
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. ☺
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.
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.
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 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 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 ❤
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!
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 🙏 💯 💙
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 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.
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
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.
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. :)
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
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. 💪🏻
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 🙏
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?
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.
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 !
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 👍🏼
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!)
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
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 : ua-cam.com/video/bDfGYwySnBk/v-deo.html
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.
your focus should be on developing the skill of breathholding. if your focus is on how many times you should do something then your focus is in the wrong place. your progress in breathholding does not depend on how many times you do something. It depends on what you learn when doing it.
@@gertleroy thnx for your content it helps a lot to me I only hit 1min fix but this time ive got 1:30 minutes.. I haven't try this in a pool bcuz I don't have buddy I always do this in dry places Is there any tinique to improve myself to reach in 2 minutes breath hold tiq?
So it also counts if I don’t close my nose while holding my breath? Because when I’m trying to hold my breath without nose closing I can do around 3 min,otherwise only 2 min.. Maybe I’m doing something wrong?
Please do 3 minutes next. I actually got 3 minutes today and then did this table. For some reason this table was quite hard. Does it make sense for a 2 minute table to be more difficult right after a 3 minute max effort?
1/ this table contains 5 breathholds not just 1 2/ right after a max attempt you should stop and carry on with your day. only the next day or other day you start training again
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.

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.

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. ☺

The choice of ambient noise is brilliant
haha thanks

the next video is 2:30. try it when 2:00 is comfortable and confident
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.
Awesome 👍
@@gertleroy Thanks! I'm going on a sailing holiday soon, so I'll get some real-world practice in then. My fins still fit, which is a good start
@@edwardtye4119 all the best 🙏
@@gertleroy Thank you, you too
Hello Gert, how many times a week should we be practicing these breath holding exercises?
here are no "shoulds". do it when you want to, not because you "have" to. you're not a top level athlete committing to a training program ✌️
@@gertleroy point noted, thank you.
@@ammaarally3700 🙏
Thanks to i reached 2 min b4 only 30 sec.
Awesome 👍
Isnt it daily to do this or will it be done everyday?
How many hours in a day to execute this to improve breath holding tiq.
your focus should be on developing the skill of breathholding. if your focus is on how many times you should do something then your focus is in the wrong place. your progress in breathholding does not depend on how many times you do something. It depends on what you learn when doing it.
@@gertleroy thnx for your content it helps a lot to me I only hit 1min fix but this time ive got 1:30 minutes..
I haven't try this in a pool bcuz I don't have buddy I always do this in dry places Is there any tinique to improve myself to reach in 2 minutes breath hold tiq?

@@gertleroy okay I will watch then follow your playlist
So it also counts if I don’t close my nose while holding my breath? Because when I’m trying to hold my breath without nose closing I can do around 3 min,otherwise only 2 min.. Maybe I’m doing something wrong?
you might be inhaling a bit through the nose without being conscious about it
holy sh** two minutes!!
🙏🙏🙏🙏
I used to do 2:00 min but now have only been able to do 1:20 two days in a row. I’m depth training next week: any advice?
stop stressing and take a rest 🙏
Please do 3 minutes next. I actually got 3 minutes today and then did this table. For some reason this table was quite hard. Does it make sense for a 2 minute table to be more difficult right after a 3 minute max effort?
1/ this table contains 5 breathholds not just 1
2/ right after a max attempt you should stop and carry on with your day. only the next day or other day you start training again
How many times should you do this table before moving to the next?
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.
I did it…Yeah 😁
awesome !
