Dear Alex and Molchanovs Team, I want to contribute to the breathing-awareness ethos by translating into Spanish the subtitles of this video, so some of my friends who don't speak English can understand and get into practice. It would be an honour for me and a way to share the enthusiasm freediving teaches about. Greetings from Mexico City!

You're my favourite athlete, like you mother was before you. I've been following all your career, but what I didn't know is that your exercises would be so valuable to ..... my hability to sing in a choir. I've been using my breathing just as you said, the whole upper body, not just the ribcage, and my breath time has doubled, not in less than a month, but instantly.

Thanks so much for sorting out the Course, it's great to be back training again,

Thanks a lot Alexey ! This is a very useful content I really appreciate!

You impress me so much!

Thank you 😊👍

Thanks for your inspiration Alexey. As 66 year old that almost forgot the games that I used to play with breath holding as child. I realise that the fun and variation improved my breath holding over time. Revisiting freediving for a relaxed past time in retirement i am gradually improving my health and mindset. I am very interested to see how much I can improve my lung capacity at this age. So far it is working.

Great content as always thanks Alexey! deep and strong inhale without proper warm-up does lead to dizziness. This is something that i understood practicing Apnea walking. Does this phenomena have a name? i know it's different from hyperventilation (forcing CO2 out before breath hold) and i'm curious to understand it more.
-
would be great to get more of this videos with more exercises. Something like increasing flexibility of the ribcage and of the diaphragma

instead of nose breathing in and out, can it be performed also through the mouth? and how many cycles or repetition do you suggest?
