@ roland, never subscribed to the thought process "if it works, why is no one doing it". I agree that the more specific your training the more it will help achieve your goal, but without a doubt training in the gym WILL INCREASE your freediving ability. Time in the water is always better, and that is a good point, but that wasn't part of the question.
@ marc25, your training will help mildly. Step it up, sprint/walk in intervals, start with 30 sec sprints and 1 min walks for 20 min. This will SMOKE you. Step it up when you can again. Also when working your core and lower body, use exercises involving multiple muscle groups or "compound exercises" (ie squats, lunges, good mornings, leg curls, deadlifts). Also, stretch and start slowly.
