I was watching Stan Lee's show about superhumans. They were talking about holding breath, and how the average human can only hold their breath for about a minute. Seriously? Then they brought on a guy who was going to hold his breath for five minutes. Okay, he can hold it for longer, but he does a bunch of breathing exercises to supersaturate oxygen into his system, even to hold his breath for five minutes. My personal record is five minutes, but without any supersaturation techniques. Actually, when I was swimming back in Iowa, and had gotten up to swimming 1 mile, not an half mile as I recently recalled in error, I had begun working on anaerobic exercise while there. I had gotten to where I could swim, underwater, without air, for about three and a half minutes. I could do between two and three laps, I think, underwater. I did that as my final exercises for the last month, and that is as good as I was able to get up to. School started, which ate everything I had. I think that was the year I started calc III after having been out of school for two to two and a half years, when they were first trying to shove blood pressure medicine down my gullet to very bad reactions, so had to spend the first two to three weeks doing 18 hours a day, five to six days a week, between class and review to... catch up. Only got a B+, so not sure I really handled it as well as I had hoped, but... not bad on a level plane.
Still, I ought to practice holding my breath and see where I can get, starting, and how well I can do in a few weeks or months. I suppose you could hurt yourself, though in water is the real danger, especially if you go past an atmosphere or two, though even a bit down can do it, and while you are coming up to the surface? *Blam!* Lights out. I've never had it happen. And I used to do that a lot before I knew the risk. Size might help, dunno. I really do chuckle. As bad of shape as I am in I might still have some of what some people consider super human traits. Crazy, baby.
Oh, was just watching television as the console was warming up. I'm having trouble getting going. Sometimes gaming will put a little fire in my belly. Yum! I told you I am a different cat. And if they ever fix the hold, I'll be dancing with my brothers if I hope I won't forget Father. :p Later.
