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 -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'. Send subscribe/unsubscribe requests to `techdiver-request@aquanaut.com'.
