How Long Can You Hold Your BREATH?

Yan Wang · #1 21-07-2003, 19:48

Yeah, so I found I have a knack for holding my breath. I was sitting down and timed myself and found that I'm at

151 Seconds

Still not quite at 3 minutes, but it's getting there.

Anyhoo, what do other people get?

Matt Attallah · #2 21-07-2003, 19:51

2:12 in the pool!

George1902 · #3 21-07-2003, 20:56

OK... I just did it.

When i came to, the stopwatch read 1:08. With a few weeks of practice, I could prolly break 2 minutes.

Kevyn H. · #4 21-07-2003, 21:09

I have heard that a majority of asians by default have narrower lungs/veins/whatever... A doctor told me when my dad had a heart attack.. anyways, I can hold my breath for about 40 seconds...

1:10.

Forgive my ignorance (I'm a flutist, I should know this), but how does one do circular breathing?

WOWOWOWWO BILL !! HOW CAN YOU HOLD YOUR BREATH SO LONG? DO YOU HAVE CONTESTS?

RogerR · #12 21-07-2003, 22:45

without any preparation i got 1:43
after a little hyperventilation, i was able to get 2:22.

i used to be able to go for 3 minutes when i was younger because i played the tenor sax, and could hold a steady note on my sax for about 45 seconds

this skill comes in hsndy when i'm cleaning the bathrooms at "Publix"

<edit> after posting on this thread, i realized that i really need a hobby outside of FIRST</edit>

143. It comes in handy when you have an unpleasant task to do, such as changing a litter box.

Or dealing with cabbage.

Still, I have poor lung capacity and can't hold my breath for more than 30 seconds or so.
