  • Did you know that you can prepare your body for high altitude physical endurance ANYWHERE?
    You don't want to wait until you're in the mountains to start adjusting & making preparations for high altitude. You can do it ANYWHERE!
    Let's talk about how!

    So interesting. I’m from Colombia and my parents were raised in the Andes mountains so they’ve never felt the elevation sickness. They moved away to raised us at a low elevation city and whenever they would bring us back to visit the mountains they would makes hold our breath before arrival and I never understood why. We never felt the elevation sickness thanks to that. I live in Seattle now and before I go to Colorado I do this exercises and thank god this works every time. After watching this video I understand now thanks!

    I live in Colorado and got curious about what others do for our altitude I never realized how big of a difference the air was until I went to Florida for a week and the first thing I noticed was how EASY it was to breathe like I didn’t have to actually TRY to breathe it was just so easy and so not dry it’s a huge difference that I didn’t even notice

    Man, truly appreciate this. I had a rough time in Big Bear, CA (8K el.) this past week. It felt like I could never catch my breath, my heart was racing, I had no appetite and I threw up. Weirdest and scariest feeling ever. I now know what I was experiencing. I love going up there, so I’ll work on these techniques. Godspeed!

    Brother this is called Kumbhak in Yoga.
    India we have classical reference in Hatha Yoga about holding the breath Which is called Kumbhak. The technic you manifested is an alternation of it..
    Jerking while holding is strictly prohibited in Yoga its to be taken care in this technique too.
    Love form India.

  • @golfdoc1950
    @golfdoc1950 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +7

    Got to disagree with you. Performance at high altitude is limited by lower oxygen levels and improved by either breathing bottled O2 or raising hemoglobin levels through acclimatization, blood transfusions or use of a PED like EPO. Hyperventilation will take care of CO2 levels quickly but it’s the saturation of hemoglobin that permits improved athletic performance. Taking a drug like Diamox prior to traveling to altitude can help the body’s acid/base chemistry to adjust and make acclimating slightly easier. You might feel less breathless by training yourself to tolerate higher CO2 levels but your ability to perform aerobic exercise won’t be affected. People with chronic lung disease due to smoking can tolerate higher than normal CO2 levels and in fact their drive to breathe is driven by hypoxia. If they breathe air with high levels of O2, they will stop breathing.

    I love watching videos about mountain climbing… I don’t actually take mountain climb. I heard an interview w/Neal Beidleman (spelling?) yesterday and he was talking amount the changes in altitude acclimatization in recent years. Amazing. That is how I found your video.

  • @ZijnShayatanica
    @ZijnShayatanica ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Even tho it isn't high altitude, I have health issues that give me weird effects even in Salt Lake City [tachycardia, euphoria, headache]. I'm eager to use this acclimatize a bit easier! Also hoping this can improve my general exercise tolerance, since my conditions can make it difficult. 😊
    [I know you aren't a health professional & aren't making any claims for edgecases, but I'm just using this based on the knowledge of my own body.]

    If you do hold your breath longer and end up “gasping” yes you risk being light headed but your CO2 tolerance increases. Just sit or lay down. This is similar to wim hof method or tummo breadth

  • @yogitaankalikar9465

    Good information...thanks.Indians follow the technic of pranayama the yoga that helps breathing .It's similar to what you suggested. I also have one experience I don't know how scientifically it's true or not..but while climbing on a hillock I wore a wet mask and one more dry mask on mouth covering the nose and that helped me breathe more comfortably during the climb. I Don't know whether this technic help in high altitude mountain climb as there going to be a very cold temperature so the wet mask will work or not I don't know. But I think you can research on this if you find any sense in this wearing a wet mask. Thanks
