Breathing and Exercise
- breathing is just as important for your health as the exercise itself
- do not hold your breath while exercising
- you should not be short of breath or gasping for breath during exercise
- you can actually train yourself to breathe in different ways
- brief meditation and breathing techniques before and after exercise can improve your results
- be aware of your breathing both at rest and during exercise to help know when youve reached your physical limit and need to cool down
- breathing puts oxygen into our blood and tissues
- proper breathing techniques during exercise will prevent getting that exhausted feeling and increase the amount of time you are able to continue the strenuous activity
- breathe a 3:2 inhale-to-exhale ratio; full inhales and full exhales. This means you inhale on the left, right, left foot strikes and exhale fully on the right, left foot strikes.
- always exhale on exertion during exercises, lifting, pushing, or pulling
- oxygen + water = you burning away fat
- focus on breathing during exercise helps maintain a rythym
