How long can you hold your breath for?

[safcforever]

I just tried without any practice and can’t even make 30 seconds.

Do you smoke or have a lung disease? That’s really quite poor.

I managed a minute and a half. I could probably do two minutes if I practiced.

Won’t be trying 5

Don’t smoke but I’m putting it down to the weather change.
Maybe I need to sort my fitness level out

Maybe, maybe my brain just needs less oxygen than yours

not quite as long as it takes to empty the cat litter tray of shite unfortunately...

I just tried without any practice, with a cold and asthma and having unwisely smoked quite a few cigarettes throughout the past week (I’m not usually a smoker), and managed 82 seconds.

Do you get out of breath easily?

 

[Dark Traveller]

Sitting relaxed - one minute 40 seconds.

If under pressure, or exertion probably about a minute less I think.

My wife and I had a breath holding contest in a swimming pool. She's really good, been down there for 6 hours now.

 

[Spot]

she's been down there for 6 hours now.

Never lasted that long for me

[andysfootball]

used to be 1min and 30 seconds when i was in the RN

now down to 1 minute and 10 seconds

but that's when the mrs picks me up from the pub

and starts to make predatory comments regarding me being there for a few hours

 

[Spike]

I regularly go about 2 and a half - 3 minutes without really trying

I do wim hofs breathing exercises every day and do a lot of yoga and mindfulness breathing type stuff

I've got a diagnosis of asthma from childhood but my peak flow is 850+ now, symptom free

 

[Falconhoof]

Just had a go. Struggled to a minute

 

[jarramackem]

52 seconds but I do have a diaphragmatic hernia = unfit fker

 

[Sidewinder2]

Don't know, I tried it and died so couldn't record the time..........................

 

[hypersonic]

Got to 1 minute 15 and started to struggle; thought i'd best give in before anyone in the office asked what I was up to

 

[Dogbark]

40 seconds

 

[S.S.R..]

With enough practice, permanently.

 

[ErichZann]
