Stretching is extremely important for freediving. Flexible respiratory muscles will help you deal better with the pressure, hold your breath longer, and even equalize better. But what muscles should you stretch exactly, and how, and when, and for how long? To give an answer to these questions, I created this easy to follow beginner’s training plan, with simple but effective stretches that will make you noticeably more flexible and a better freediver in a matter of weeks. Just follow the program outlined and go through each week as described in the plan and the results are yours. Good luck and enjoy!
