CO2 Tolerance Training - GRADUATE -

This video will train you to increase your CO2 tolerance through breath holds. We will do six rounds of 1:15 breath holds. Breathe diaphragmatically when you hear "recover", and hold your breath when you hear "hold". It is always advised that your breath holds stay under or at 50% of your max capacity. This video assumes that your max capacity is at 2 minutes and 30 seconds.
Entire playlist here: bit.ly/trainyourbreath
The benefits of breathing exercises include:
- encouraging belly breathing
- encouraging nose breathing
- calming your mind
- reducing stress & anxiety
- increasing CO2 tolerance
- increasing O2 uptake
- longer breath holds
- expanding lung capacity
- mastering your mind
- entering a meditative state
Happy training!
Here at The Great Kind, we exercise our minds in our pursuit to Greatness.

Good exercise

[@user-up3qz1bk5u]

People don't know how beneficial these exercises are. These are not as fancy as "breath of fire"

[@ShoshinShow]

Thanks Aleksander! Breath of fire serves a different purpose than these exercises - by speeding up exhalations the body generates heat & alertness. This exercise here is for relaxation amongst other training benefits. Breath of fire can also have a steep learning curve. Thanks for a potential video idea for our Free Your Breath channel. Looking forward to making more diverse content to support everyone’s breathing needs and goals!

I've made it to 2:28. It came to the point where 1 min holds were too easy but 1:15 weren't, so I had to use an app to split the difference. I've also have it run the last hold twice to make it more challenging

[@ShoshinShow]

Great work! Love that you’re creating a process that works for you 💪🫁

[@alwayslearning4]

I started only being able to hold for 40 seconds and just hit a PR a week later at 1:40. 3+ mins is incredible.

[@ShoshinShow]

Our bodies are incredible! Great work!

[@realpolitik3169]

I smoked a cig a couple hours ago and just held my breath for three minutes.

[@ShoshinShow]

👆 for all those who say it can’t be done. 👏

[@3457james]

amazing video thanks a lot! I found the holds quite easy just a weird sensation in my head like pressure on full breaths; but this is my first time doing dry training. I managed a max of 3:20 whcih I'm quite happy with. Should I move to 1:30 I guess?

[@ShoshinShow]

Great work, James! 👏 If you’re feeling pressure, here are a couple of things to try: 1) try filling your lungs less that you are before the hold. I usually give myself the 3 second count down to breathe in before the hold. 2) try a body scan from head to toe while you’re holding to ensure you aren’t clenching any muscles. The water has a natural calming effect, so dry holds can become tense in the body. I’d keep the practice at 1:15 for a few more rounds until it’s super relaxing, and no pressure of sorts. Then move up to 1:30.

I made it to 4:05/4:06 minutes!

[@ShoshinShow]

Well done!! Amazing achievement 🙌🎉👏

[@cemkirac5829]

i believe how often you do this exercise is the most important thing here, i have read you shouldnt exceed twice a week. And i dont know if it is safe to do it more than once on the same day. i do it then give three days break then again...

[@ShoshinShow]

You do you! Listening to your body is key here. I did these exercises every day for 90 days. Here was my experience and results kzbin.info/www/bejne/rWfWZIR8hpppoLc Enjoy the process!!

[@thomasmitchell2514]

Hmm this is my first time trying it and I held at the end for 3 minutes pretty comfortably. But I figured it shouldn’t be so easy so I must have done something wrong. Then I read the description and it says to breathe diaphragmatically. Does that mean I should not be raising my chest when I breathe? Therefore limiting my intake capacity? And during the Breathe hold should I be doing it with empty lungs instead of full?

[@ShoshinShow]

You’ve got strong lungs, Thomas! Breathing diaphragmatically means to start breathing with your belly, then let your chest fill up. Holding after the inhale is great. That’s how I like to practice. Depending on your goals, you can also train holding after the exhale. It’ll be way more challenging that way. No right or wrong. Focus on your goals and then practice what’s desired.

[@thatsawrap8]

Made it to 2.34 wahoo!

[@ShoshinShow]

Well done!! 👏

[@laywayluke7401]

In 2 days I've gotten my tolerance from 1:00 to 2:30 incredible

[@ShoshinShow]

Wowoowowow 👏 it was in you all along! 💪

[@funguy74]

2:20!

[@ShoshinShow]

Excellent work!!! Practice makes the dream a reality! Go get it 👏💪

[@mohal-sal3998]

I feel a bit heavy-headed after the complete exercise, what is that a sign of to your knowledge?

[@ShoshinShow]

Do you feel that for the 0:45 and the 1:00 videos too?

[@mohal-sal3998]

@@ShoshinShow It's only when I force shut my nose and wobble until the end I guess, Stupid me. Sry for late reponse

[@ray54984]

I try 1:15 because of my Mx. capacity of 2:30. I need to push my bh a little bit and contractions were quite strong but I keep on holding my breath. Completely different reaction of my body. Lowest HR 65 and O2 Level 95% - strange. They were lower 2 day ago with shorter BH times. The effort to ignore the contractions took its toll. Max. only 1:50. should I go back one level or stay at this?

[@ShoshinShow]

Good work on practicing and understanding your inner functioning. If it’s uncomfortable, then go back a level. Master it until it’s toooo easy and then try this.

[@ray54984]

@@ShoshinShow Thanks for your suggestion, it worked very well. 1:00 without problems and without contractions. Maximum attempt exactly 3 minutes. My pulse reduced to 49 beats per minute, oxygen saturation at 92%. I feel very relaxed.

[@ray54984]

@@ShoshinShow did you ever try the Win Hof method. I Leeds much faster to low O2 levels. I try it today an the saturation drops down to 82% with breath hold close to 4 Minutes. But I will continue to work on my CO2 tolerance.

[@ShoshinShow]

@@ray54984 yes Wim Hof starts with hyperventilation which reduces CO2 and therefore O2 concentration in the blood (CO2 is a sort of carrier helper for oxygen).
