Subject: Again: improving breathing rates
Hi all,

After several very nice emails on how to do exercise right and 
a trauma causing experience of hundreds of bounced emails after posting on 
caver, I want to apologize for a misunderstanding and rather post 
this on techdiver.

Remark:
I have been exercising 5-6 times a week for long, including 
breath-hold / skin dive training once a week. I could live very 
healthy, if there wasn't work. After getting rid of some work-related 
stress, my fitness improved instantly. 

So my questions again: 
1.) Is there some kind of check list of improving breathing rates?
I know the quote on running shoes, do agree, but prefer other aerobic 
exercises (plus, it's colder here most of the year).

2.) How much training is still good, what is too much, what too 
little, how can I test if I'm on the right way? I had to read 10,000 
lame papers on fracture mechanics so please give me something short, 
condensed. 

3.) Is there a mental way at all? It helps me during breath hold 
training, but I have difficulties in visualizing and meditating right 
before a dive. I'm darn calm during dives, so skip the basics and 
tell me the tricks. 

4.) What is a good breathing rate in imperial or metric? I know mine 
which is already low but I would like to compare.

5.) Another, totally different question: 
I often dive with people who have been diving for many, many years. I 
see them doing something wrong or in a sloppy way (happens fairly 
often). Assuming this is my only option to find a buddy - how am I 
supposed to handle that (I'm not delicate. Whenever someone 
endangers me or someone else, that would be my last dive with them.)

Safe diving,
Claudia
