The focus of this week’s WOD is to enable the body to get used to high levels of carbon dioxide (CO2 tolerance). It does that by decreasing the resting time between fixed breath-hold periods. The duration of breath-hold should not be higher than 50% of your personal best and the table should consist of no more than 8 cycles. This workout was adapted from the free diving community. 🤿
