I began freediving about one month ago when my friend returned from serving with the marines. I have always been into watersports but have fallen head over heels for freediving.
So far I have gone to 40ft and can do a 3min 30sec dryland breath hold.
I am looking for recommendations as to basic exercises which will improve my diving and breath hold abilities. Unfortunately I have perhaps two or three hours a week at most to spare.
There is a staff gym at my work which has an elliptical trainer, exercise bike and weight bench.
Could any of you more experienced divers suggest exercises or breathing techniques to help improve my diving. I am not interested in diving to crazy depths, I just want to hit maybe 25 metres and increase my time underwater.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
