Down to the nitty gritty now. Once prepared, here’s our guide to getting the most out of the air we have.
Step 1: breathe in slowly (5 seconds) and out (5 seconds) during a period of 2 minutes. This will clear your lungs of any low quality / air rich in CO2. Make sure you focus on pushing every last bit of air! Step 2: Under the supervision of a partner: Inhale quickly around 80% of their lung capacity and hold your breath. It is important to be accompanied at this stage, because you may lose consciousness. Step 3: When you get to the point where you feel the need to breathe, begin to exhale slowly. Step 4: Focus on moving as little as possible and stay calm, this will lower your body’s requirement for oxygen. Step 5: If you feel you need to breathe oxygen uploaded. That’s it! Finally, I think it’s worth saying again – never try holding your breath on your own! |
