i did my 1st proper static with fran in a kids heated pool with a 2 piece 7m on and got 4min 18 sec. Now im not 100% fit but ill tell ya what we did up to this.
1,
we did yoga breathing in a group, it was breath in for 6 seconds, hold for 24 seconds and breath out for 12 seconds, i think it was 12 reps of that,
2,
We floated in the pool on our belly with our mask and snorkel completely 100% relaxed thanks to our wetsuit bouyency. Did that for 5 minutes.
3,
Then we did our first breath hold using the same technique as above with some1 standing next to you making sure you dont float into people, timing you and getting you to move your finger every minute.
3.1,
We did our breath holds gradualy, say start with 1 minute, then 1.30, then 2, with a 2 minute breather inbetween each hold. Rember to breathe all your co2 out quick when you come up. But the name of the game is to be relaxed, dont talk inbetween breaths, move as little as you can before breath holds and when you are doing it dont move a mussle just float and think of what pub your going to go to on the weekend and what fish you want to target next etc.
hope that helps
