During a simple warm up, they take a 10 second inhale, which is going to kill the average person.

Just that's a long inhale.

And then they do a max breath hold on that inhale for as long as they can.

And then recover nose only breathing.

Which is going to constrain the breathing.

You're going to have to really be functional on that diaphragm.

You're going to have to work harder.

You're going to prep that.

And you repeat that every minute.

10 second inhale, max breath hold, repeat every minute.

Another simple example is just, hey, every minute, I just want you to exhale as long as you can.

Go deep.

go ham as long as you can on an exhale.

And when you need to breathe, go ahead and just keep it moving instead of stopping.

So we can almost use some of this hypoxic work where we just put you into a little dynamic apnea, where we ask you to work, do a little breath hold of some kind.

Suddenly you're gonna have to touch that range of motion.

You're gonna have to get caught up.

You're breathing all the way out.

You're being a little bit more intentional.

And then we've already set up your brain to be a little bit more CO2 tolerant.
