  • You have questions and I have (some) answers. Over the past few weeks, I have received excellent questions around breathing exercises, breath holding, and increasing our lung capacity. In this video, I'm walking you through my go-to exercise for better and stronger lungs. This is how I was able to hold my breath for 4 minutes!

      @@mamacito1795 oh my there are many. Tbh... TH-cam it. It takes time to gather many details and to incorporate the new ideas you find. Some things work for others and some don't. I can offer a lot better advice if I'm actually running with the person. Look into things about form (arm swing, stride length, lean, etc), breathing techniques, good warm ups or stretches for before runs, what to eat before runs, remember to hydrate, even to managing your feet the night before and wearing the right shoes for you, be in comfortable clothing, how to reach your "runners high", etc. Some of this might help if you want to compete, maybe short distance running , maybe long distance. Think about what issues you're having while running. Are you hurting afterward? Look into how to find a proper running form for you. Can't run for long? Practice HIT work outs (high intensity training). It's something like switching between jogging and sprinting. It helps you build cardio. Tbh it's better if you just share me a few concerns your having. Most of all just don't quit trying to learn and practicing. It is good for health physically and personally I believe mentally

    • @ShoshinShow
      @ShoshinShow  3 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      Thanks! When you breathe, fill up all the way until you can no longer take in any air. That’s your 100%. Now exhale. Next time you breathe, fill up to about 80% of the last attempt.
      When you breathe in ALL THE WAY, you become tense and your lungs squish up against your rib cage, which isn’t a calm state to be holding breath in. So that’s why 80% or lower is recommended.

    • @ShoshinShow

      The best way to improve your stamina endurance and strength is to continue practicing the activities in which you want to improve your stamina and strength 😅 think of breathing exercises as an aid, but by no means the only solution. Nose breathing during your runs will help train your body to use the air more efficiently. I have some videos around this if you’re interested.
      These breathing exercises will help you improve your carbon dioxide tolerance. So that you can breathe less and efficiently. Playlist is here: bit.ly/trainyourbreath or bit.ly/slowyourbreath for a more relaxing practice without breath holds. Always start at level 1 and then work your way up.

    What’s the difference between oxygen uptake and co2 ?

    • @ShoshinShow
      @ShoshinShow  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Oxygen uptake training is a breathing exercise that trains your lungs to hold air for longer increments with comfortable recovery periods in between, making the lungs efficient at consuming oxygen.
      Carbon dioxide tolerance training is reducing the recovery time in between breath holds so that you build up CO2 and slowly train your lungs to become more tolerant to this gas (very important gas at transporting oxygen throughout the body, among other things).

      🧐 that works well during competitions or record setting when we need to verify whether the holder is truly holding their breath.

    • @ShoshinShow
      @ShoshinShow  2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      The goal is to breathe slowly, deeply, and quietly. If your natural breathing is fast (which for most of us is true), then try to be more mindful of your breathing and consciously control it to be calm and relaxed. You can do this everyday - but listen to your lungs. If they feel tired or you feel light headed or tingly, then rest and recover. Thanks for practicing!

    when u say recover, what are steps involved ?

    • @ShoshinShow
      @ShoshinShow  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      In short, “recover” means “breathe”.
      In long, there are two types of recovery:
      One is right after each hold. For this one I mean recover by breathing in or out from your nose. Some people like to breathe out first because they still have some air in the lungs. Others like to breathe in first because they’ve exhausted all of the air in their lungs during the hold. Go about recovering (aka breathing) slowly and through your nose.
      The second recovery happens after the entire breathing exercise. After many rounds of holds, your lungs will be tired. So treat this as you would a workout. Avoid piling up lung workouts on top of one another and take rest days.

    After holding breath for around 40 seconds, and exhaling, i breathe a bit faster (inhale and exhale for about 3-4 seconds). Is that ideal or do I need to have a better breath hold control? How should I improve?

    • @ShoshinShow
      @ShoshinShow  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      We recommend calm breathing at all times. Your breathing pattern would indicate that this level is a bit too challenging for you. You can regress to triangle breathing here: bit.ly/trianglebreathing or try 30 second holds: bit.ly/trainyourbreath Repeat until you can quietly nose breathe after the hold before progressing to the next level.

    If I exhale without breathing in during the hold phase, does that still count as me holding my breath?

    • @ShoshinShow

      No. When you exhale you release carbon dioxide which is counter to the purpose of the hold (increasing CO2 tolerance). If you find this challenging you can start here and work your way up bit.ly/trianglebreathing happy breathing!

    • @ShoshinShow

  • @RadiantHealthForAll
    @RadiantHealthForAll ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Is this something to practice daily, every other day, 3x a week? I did this for the first time yesterday and :45 was a little difficult. Today 1:00 was easy and I had my eyes closed the last round and when I opened them I was at 1:08. I could have gone longer but I didn't want to stress it. This is neat. Thank you for your video

    • @ShoshinShow
      @ShoshinShow  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Kyle! I’ve practiced daily for 90 days and found it to be a rewarding practice. I also believe that rest is an important part of growth. So pay attention to your lungs. They will let you know when/if they’re too fatigued.
      Treat every session like a net new one. There are many factors that influence our breath holds such as how much we’ve eaten, time of day, level of calm, how much we’ve slept etc. Slow and steady is definitely the pace of progress! If any of the exercises are challenging, regress to a lower level and then work your way up. Happy breathing!

    • @RadiantHealthForAll

      @ShoshinShow wow thank you for your reply, it shows how much you care! Today's session I was able to do 1:15 but it was certainly a challenge.

Check out my other channel here: bit.ly/freeyourbreathing start at level 1 and work your way up. There are exercises specifically for exhalation versus breath holds.
      You shouldn’t feel any pain or discomfort. If that’s happening, resume breathing slowly and comfortably through your nose. Consult with your healthcare professional on whether you should continue these exercises if you’re experiencing discomfort.

      Try nose breathing during your runs. You may need to slow your pace to accommodate for the change in breathing style - nose breathing is proven to help long distance runs by improving oxygen uptake, efficiency and usage.
      This exercise will help you build your lung capacity. And overall improve your carbon dioxide tolerance so that you can breathe less, which promotes a relaxed state of mind. So adding these to your practice is a great way to exercise your lungs.

    VERY IMPORTANT.
    What doesn’t seem to be made clear here is that this technique may be dangerous for people with high blood pressure( especially if on medication). Why? Well this breath holding can make BP rise. The oxygen advantage book make this clear as does research on the internet. My advice do your research before practicing
    There may be more beneficial breathing techniques safer for people with medicated high blood pressure. Diaphragmatic slow breathing without breath holding. Do your research !

      The frequency is really up to you. If you feel fatigue in your chest/lungs, light headedness, then please rest. Never practice these in the water alone. You’re ready to move to 50 second holds after you can complete this exercise with controlled and quiet nose breathing. Also when your max hold is comfortably past the 1:30 mark, you can move up. The goal is calm, controlled, relaxed breathing (even after completing a hold). All the best!!

      Thanks for watching and showing up for your lung health! The best way to know for sure is for me to see you in action. So without that, all I can say is do not fill up 100% of your lungs when you breathe in before the hold. 50-80% full lungs is best.

      It depends on your goals. If you’re trying to improve your lung health in general, both of those exercises will help. If you’re trying to work on a specific utility based function such as longer breath holds, then practicing holding after inhales will be directly impactful. It’s like stretching and resilience training. They’re both beneficial!

    • @ShoshinShow
      @ShoshinShow  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      “Hold in 15” means that a hold is coming up in 15 seconds. It’s giving you an auditory cue so that you can start exhaling your breath and get ready to breathe in before the holds starts “3, 2, 1”.
      The best way to breathe is through your nose. Put your hand on your belly, when you breathe in, your belly should go out and when you breathe out your belly should go in. This is called diaphragmatic breathing. I show you how in the beginning of the session. During exercise or aerobic activity, try your best to breathe through your nose. I have a video about it here: Nose Breathing During Exercise -
