Self-test: Breathe freely – Bute

The breathing pause to check
Then comes the first challenge: inhale, exhale - and pause for breath. Christina Osinger stops with me. 13 seconds. Well. According to Buteyko, anyone who can hold this pause for less than 20 seconds is also more often tired, breathless, wheezing, coughing and has a cold. Those who can hold this so-called control pause for 40 seconds are in top form, breathe properly and are therefore full of energy. In apnoea diving, the world record is 24 minutes and 37 seconds! But I don't have to achieve this goal. But daily, brief practice should increase the number, says the trainer.
