What is the best way to increase breath-hold?

F.A.Q
I don’t really feel that sitting in front of the tv while holding your breath makes much difference.There are too many real world elements missing from the equation. Any kind of exercise is a step in the right direction, although I think the likes of cycling, swimming & even kayaking are a good kind of work out for the sport. Just about every diver will say you need to relax in order to improve your diving ability. & they would be right.

A 15-second breath hold gives almost the same correlation. Less than this will depress the breath reading.
