I'm surprised you even lasted that long.

Jokes aside, my personal best for breath-holding was 3 minutes and 2 seconds. I had a decent cardio thanks to being in a track team. I don't know how much I can now, though.

I wonder which of the mane cast can hold her breath the longest. I am guessing Rainbow Dash.

Pinkie. Because it's funny.

That actually sounds like something Twilight would say.

I found 7 intreasting pics with eatch of the mane 6 dressed in clothes from various diffrent time periods {The 1940's, 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's}.

Yeah, those are pretty cool.

As for the breath-holding thing, I'm guessing RD. She's the only member of the cast who likely regularly trains for stuff like that.

I'd have to say Pinkie. Just look at how much she can talk without taking a breath.

Sorry to interrupt, just posting to let everyone know that Super Gex' post about the tumblr thing was thumped because it was importing drama. Thank you for the holler and thank you all for responding so calmly. Nice work.

ETA: Not banned, just thumped.

He hasn't been banned has he?

Appears to have been thumped with a warning.

RD probably has to hold her breath on a regular basis, considering the tricks she does, and her usual speed when doing them. I'm reminded of one airline pilot whose plane's canopy got torn off mid-flight compared breathing in that situation to drinking from a fire hose.

I'm pretty sure if Gex was banned, he would have said so.

Stunt and race pegasi must have great lung capacity, then.

I think pegasi in general have higher cardio than other two ponies because flying is a lot more cardio-intense than whatever the others do (do note that I am in no way saying that pegasi are stronger than earth ponies).

@Applelight: I don't think so; if he was blackcat would have said something.

I've always theorized that Pegasi are more endurance/cardio related, while E Ps would be more on the weightlifting/strength end of the exercise spectrum. Not that there aren't exceptions (Roid Rage comes to mind).

If Gex was banned he would of said so ???

The average earth pony would lean more toward endurance training, anyway. Long hours working the land and all.

Stop that, you know what I meant, despite my dangling(?) modifier.

Good evening everypony. What's going on?

Hey there!

I was wondering, are you an artist? (The creator of the OC, not the sock puppet)

edited 19th Nov '12 6:03:55 PM by DavidtheMouse14

Not an OC. Background Pone. Sort of.

Actually, the intensity and usage of muscles indicate they are not really relevant to cardioactive performance. I've met quite a lot of farmers back in my home country and they are not particularly good cardio-wise.

Exactly, thank you for putting my thoughts in a conciser manner.

Speaking of pegasi, what I found odd is that their wings propels are vastly disproportionate to their wingbeat frequency. I am no expert in aerodynamics or physics (is anyone here one? correct me if I am wrong), but from what I observed in many species' of birds, pegasi would have to beat their wings at least several times more to generate their average speed.

And that's not even talking about Rainbow Dash. When you look at her pulling Sonic Rainboom during Young Flyer, she isn't moving her wings.

Aquastria?

ohgodthatsterrible

Well that's good.

And yeah, Pegasi are cardio, and E Ps endurance. Unicorns are nothing...unless they are the guards.

@ d Roy

There's that theory that they are propelled by magic, which is generated by the wing beats.

@David: Me? No. Never been really good at using a pencil outside of writing. If you mean Colin, yes he is.

@Apple in response to Roy: Pretty much that, as far as I'm aware.

Unicrons: Screw Physical Ability, We Have MAGIC!

@d Roy: Magic. They can grab clouds and move them around. Compared to weirdness like that, the idea that they can fly isn't that odd.
