w00t. much hyperventilation, but 132 seconds.
terrific. now i’m dizzy.[/wheezing]
yeah, i was first chair clarinet in band for a while, and i was in girl’s show choir, not to mention all the years of swimming i did, and still do in my pool. i was once able to go 50 yards without breathing (sprints), but that was back when i was in shape. so for now, i’ll take my 132 minutes and be quite proud of myself.
I used to play the trumpet back in middle school, and i remember doing the circular breathing. I can’t do it naymore though, I haven’t played a trumpet in 7 years or so.
I start holding my breath = 
One minute later = :rolleyes:
after that = :mad:
realizing that I must release = :eek:
After the whole challenge = 
I can hold it for about 70 seconds.
To bring this dead thread back… one more time… (Sorry. I didn’t see it during either of its first two lives.)
With a little hyperventilational prepping, 2 minutes even. (If I hadn’t been watching a clock, it would have been less, I’m sure.)
54 seconds.
Another one is: How long can you hold a piece of paper on a wall using only your breath blowing on it?
About 4 seconds. (Every time I tried to time it by looking at my watch before starting, I couldn’t even get the paper to stay. I had to resort to just blowing, and then after I was done blowing, count for the approximate length of time I had blown.)
For one whole match and until the scores are released.
You’d better hope the refs don’t have any controversy to deal with! 
I might turn a little blue or red which ever side im on. LOL
I’ve held mien for over two minutes, both in and out of water.
I don’t remember my best time, but I stopped probably before I needed to because I was afraid I might pass out.
Woo, 11 seconds!
Upgraded to 12.
I know for a fact I can hold mine for 199 seconds lol it’s probably because I’m on the swim team and I swim 6 days a week :rolleyes:
>180 seconds but then people start to gather and they break out the resuscitation devices…
90 seconds, I dont practice everyday so im happy with my score.
when i’m swimming in practice= 4 mins
swim meets= 1-3 depending on race
free diving= usually about 5 mins
i never have really exerted my lungs when doing any of this, so i’m not sure how long i could just sit and hold my breath.
50 yard + wall + from push + underwater(not freestyle)
As this thread is brought back for the third time… XD
With no preping, I can hold my breath for a minute even.
I hissed for 35 seconds.
I managed to hold the paper for 3 seconds. Somehow, the paper got stuck on the wall so I hit like 7 seconds. I say it was stuck because once I stopped breathing, it stayed. =/
Just for the record, its actually easier to hold your breath underwater. When your body hits the water your heart rate slows down, making it easier to hold your breath for a longer time.
sticks head underwater =]
I can hold my breath for forever, just after a few minutes I fall down and can’t get back up .
1:10 as a first try today. this may become a hobby depending on how bored i get in chemistry class.
139 seconds, yup calculus is boring
It definately depends on above or under water. Above I’m at about a minute, but below I can go a minute and a half to two.
