Hi pal!
Heard about those tables for the first time 3 days ago, but here`s what i know:
O2 Table:
It`s basically a row of breath holds with rest periods in between where the breath holds increase by a certain increment every time. I normally do some easy breathing for a couple of minutes with Keith Jarrett
in the stereo to get calm, then I start to breathe deeper and finally hold my breath for 45secs. After that i rest for 1:30 and hold my breath again (1:15), rest 1:30, hold (1:30),... and so on 8 times (last hold is 2:30).
CO2 Table:
Mostly the same thing, but here the holding time stays steady over the whole workout and resting periods are decreased every time. Haven`t done that one yet, but I`ve been told that it`s made for getting your body used to high CO2-levels...
You`ll need to find out the ideal combinations of holding times, resting times and increments. I didn`t find out myself yet (the O2-thing was crappy hard the first time, little bit though the second time and today it was easy peasy...)
Oh, before I forget it, very nice workout for CO2-stuff: do a breathhold of 30secs ten times WITHOUT resting times. Every rep is one single breath. First 5 are easy, then it gets hard!
++I`d recommend you have a look at freediver.uk. There is some kind of a calculator that helps getting a proper workout...++
I don`t know much about those workouts as I`m really new to the sport, maybe some of the cracks in this forum will help us and correct me if I`m telling you wrong things...
:duh
Think we should start a thread for beginner trainings...
hope I could help you a bit, greets Joe
