Ted Harty III – 28 Day Freediving Transformation

Ted Harty III – 28 Day Freediving TransformationLearn how to increase your bottom time and dive deeper, by using proven freediving training exercises in the “comfort” of your home.Are you interested in learning how to increase your bottom time?Do you want to lower your comfortable operating depth?Do you want to feel more comfortable while underwater?What type of regular specific freediving training do you perform to achieve your goals? The typical answer is “well I try to go freediving whenever I can.”Give me 25-40 minutes 3 days a week and 5 minutes on any other two days, and you can significantly improve your freediving performance in 28 days.Competitive freedivers like myself can dive very deep and stay down a very long time, two skills that any recreational freediver or spearfisherman would be very interested in obtaining. We accomplish these feats by performing very particular types of training.My deepest freedive is 279ft, my longest breath-hold is 7 minutes, I’m a past USA Freediving record holder and was captain of the USA Freediving Team at the World Championships in Nice, France. I regularly joke in my classes that I have a body built by beer, bourbon, and BBQ. I’m not an elite athlete, there is nothing special about me, yet I can freedive circles around Ben Greenfield and Tim Kennedy past students of mine who are clearly world class elite athletes.How is this possible? I perform very specific freediving related training exercises.This course is broken down into 4 main modules.Freediving Safety – You will learn the risks associated with Freediving which are real, as they are 50-75 fatalities per year in the USA. You will discover that blackouts can happen on dives even if you feel fine. Lastly, you will learn what to do if your buddy has a blackout at the surface.Breath Hold Secrets – Here you will learn how to take a 20-30% bigger breath and specific breathing techniques that will lower your heart rate and increase your breath-hold. Then you will determine what is causing your urge to breathe and what you can do about it.Training Tools – I will share what in my opinion is the most time-efficient and effective way to increase your tolerance to carbon dioxide. I will cover 3 exercises to improve your breath hold as well as how to delay and minimize your contractions. You will learn stretches that can increase your lung volume and the one secret weapon that every single competitive freediver uses to dive deeper and feel more relaxed at depth.28-Day Weekly Training Plan – I will give you a weekly training plan telling you precisely what to do each week. You will get a PDF you can print and place on your refrigerator to mark your progress.Your InstructorTed Harty IIII started my underwater adventures (career) in 2005, as a Scuba Instructor in the Florida Keys. During that time I became a PADI Staff Instructor, and taught for NAUI and the SSI as well. I took my very first professional freediving course with Performance Freediving International (PFI) in 2008, taught by Kirk Krack. I was absolutely blown away by the class and by freediving, I quickly became obsessed…like I do with many things!In 2009, I became a freediving instructor for PFI and I’ve been teaching freediving full time ever since. I went to my first freediving competition in 2009, as an out of shape and overweight ex-scuba instructor, and progressed from an 80 ft. to 177 ft. dive in just 3 weeks! After that experience, I wondered what I could do if I got in shape and took training more seriously. I went on to break a USA Freediving record, have won 3 freediving competitions, was selected to be Captain of Men’s USA Freediving team at the World Championships, am a PFI Instructor Trainer and my deepest freedive to date is 279 feet.While I enjoy being a competitive freediver immensely, my true passion has always been teaching. Thus, for the past 5 years I’ve been focused on the instructional side of freediving by teaching my classes through my company Immersion Freediving. Deeper Blue reviewed my 4 day PFI Intermediate freediving course and said it was the most professional course in the dive industry they had seen in 33 years. See the full review here.I’ve worked with Tim Kennedy (US Army Ranger, UFC fighter and star of History Channel show Hunting Hitler), Ben Greenfield (fitness guru and podcaster), and several elite military instructors. I’ve appeared on The Spear, Noob Spearo, Ben Greenfield’s podcast; have written an article for every issue of Spearing Magazine since 2013, as well as am the official freediving course of Spearing Magazine. I’ve appeared in the books Deep Freediving, Renegade Science, What the Ocean Tells Us About Ourselves and One Breath. I have also been a featured speaker at the Blue Wild Expo, the largest freediving and spearfishing expo in the US 5 years running.Course CurriculumIntroductionhere – game plan for the course.
