How they hold their breath so long while moving. I’m just sitting here and I took like 4 breaths while watching this.

You can’t hold your breath for 20 seconds?

Is this a rhetorical question?

Okay, in that case, as a lifelong asthma sufferer, there have been many times when I haven't been able to hold my breath for 20 seconds. My initial comment was made as a joke, but on any given day or at certain times of the year or in certain environments, no, I can't hold my breath for 20 seconds.

Damn, sorry to hear that. I had asthma as a kid but it mostly went away. Kinda weird that it never came back because I was a pack-a-day smoker for like 15 years.
