How to Measure BOLT SCORE [Oxygen Advantage]

[@OwenJackson]

I've personally found great benefit from Jacko's knowledge and breathwork sessions. Subscribed 🙌

[@Jacko-Breathwork]

Awesome, thank you!

[@Listermintsluesh]

Nicely explained. Good teacher.

[@Jacko-Breathwork]

Thanks man, my pleasure! Any other questions or need any help just ask

[@cynthgraham9677]

Very interesting, I'm already a nasal breather, and I tried your test and did 40 secs. And carried on breathing normally after. So it certainly helps your breathing.

[@Jacko-Breathwork]

Awesome mate, 40 seconds BOLT score is excellent

[@diverbrent]

Great great work, very inspiring@@Jacko-Breathwork Why do I have to plug my nose? Can I just hold my breath?

Welcome! and hope you enjoy the videos... as a spearfisherman I'd love to hear what you think and your own experience of breath and breath-holding

Following you guys on Spotify and Instagram for some while now. The potcast 164 cold water therapy with Owen was very interesting! I just dived into the whole cold bathing thing, even read the book of wim hof and am enjoying the cold.. So thanks for this very well explained informative video about breathing! Looking forward to the following ones. Subscribed! ;) In case u didn't notice, there was a audio problem at about four minutes or something...

[@Jacko-Breathwork]

Hey mate thanks for watching and glad it helps. Yes loving the cold as well as the breathwork myself! Interested in the online breathwork workshop series I'm running? New course starting in 16th March - email me for details [e-mail]

I’m 15 and I’m breathless every second I can hold 36 will power but 7 normally

[@Jacko-Breathwork]

Hey, yeah when I started by BOLT score (so no will power) was less than 10 seconds. The breathing light exercises and the breathholding that we teach with the Oxygen Advantage will help improve that, reducing your CO2 sensitivity and help you slow breathing down and feel much better. Have you watch videos I've done on that?

[@NickJonesVOTP]

I scored 12 sec. I’ve dabbled a little bit with the wim hof method but the hyperventilation stage was difficult for me as I felt I couldn’t get a deep breathe in through my nose. At work, I have bouts where I feel like I can’t catch my breathe so I know the Oxygen Advantage is something is something I want to learn. Thanks for all the value you’re bringing to people’s lives like mine…I’m also on the annual ‘School of Calisthenics’ membership:-) Anyways, where would you suggest I start as far as breathe work?

[@Jacko-Breathwork]

Hi Nick, yes my BOLT when I started was 9/10 so i know you mean. You need to improve CO2 sensitivity which hyperventilation practise will not do and does actually the opposite. Have you downloaded my Pro Breathwork App and got started with the FREE foundations course yet?

[@NickJonesVOTP]

@@Jacko-Breathwork No, I didn’t know you had an app so I’ll download that now and try out the free version. Thanks!

[@chosenone3500]

I breathe slowly and through my nose even when i’m exercising , but my bolt score is 15 second ! Do you think this is normal ?

[@Jacko-Breathwork]

It can be a number of factors, what if you general day to day breathing and breathing when you sleep like - these affect it a lot!

[@TimBrown-e9l]

Since this measures the time it takes to have the desire to breathe between breaths, does this mean that healthy people only breathe every 40 seconds?

[@th1lak]

My BOLT score is highest when I wake up and test myself, but it's significantly lower whenever I test myself throughout the day. Is this normal? Should the BOLT score be fluctuating around like that?

[@Jacko-Breathwork]

Yes its normal for it to fluctuate during the day which is why its important to compare it to similar times each day. Training, poor sleep, stress, caffeine etc will all effected it through out the day

[@ryanbabb3344]

I dont understand what it means by first desire to breath. I feel like I always want to breath.
