I don't run very fast but when I do, I try to hold my breath. I heard that holding your breath while exercising can help weight loss through cell death. My arms are too big...

What about holding your breath while doing other things? For example, I like to hold my breath when I masterbate

Did a 400 while holding my breath(almost). I had to breathe with about 5 meters to go. That 400 was a 66. Averaged 64.8 for the 20 that day. Everyone else gave up on holding their breath about 20 meters into the 400.

A friend of mine suffers from Paulson's epidermal oxygen absorption syndrome. He can actually absorb oxygen through his skin as long as he is sitting in his chair without doing anything vigorous. I saw him hold his breath once during an entire 15 min half time NBA game.

Bud Edelen could run 300m intervals holding his breath. Of course that was about 50 years ago.

I am a Dolphin from Miami. (Using a special software program from UC San Diego that converts my audio signals to human language which then is converted to typed words onto the Internet).

I can hold my breath for ~33 minutes.
