Re: Walking apnea

Both approaches you mentioned are practiced, I do the first- walk or jog, about 10-15 min warm up then when I get a good pace I alternate between breathing and statics for about an hour example 5 breaths/10sec breathhold repeat, you can play around with times, or I walk a long(not quite max) hold and then walk double the distance for recovery. A second approach I have little experience with myself(but some swear by it) is to sit in a chair hold til first contraction, get up and walk to the max hold(you would want to do this with a spotter)------as far a quantitiy depends on person, I find it far easier to burn my legs out apnea walking then dyn in a pool.
