The right breathing technique during exercise

Step-by-Step Tutorial: Mastering the Right Breathing Technique during Exercise

1. Breathing Assessments:

   • The first step is to assess your breathing technique under pressure by following the instructions in the video.
   • Inhale through the nose for a count of two and exhale through the nose for a count of eight, focusing on keeping the breath calm and quiet.
   • Ensure that your chest doesn't rise and your body remains still except for your stomach moving.
   • Repeat the breathing exercise for three rounds, focusing on nasal breathing and maintaining a calm and quiet breath.

2. Bear Walk Breathing Assessment:

   • Move on to the second assessment where you will perform the breathing exercise while slightly inverted during a bear walk.
   • Start in the bear position with hands and feet shoulder-width apart, buttocks up in the air.
   • Inhale through the nose for a count of two and exhale through the nose for a count of eight while maintaining the bear walk position.
   • Focus on keeping the same calm and quiet breathing pattern throughout three rounds of bear walking and breathing exercises.

3. Practice and Improvement:

   • Evaluate your performance during the assessments to identify areas of improvement in maintaining calm and quiet nasal breathing.
   • Practice the breathing technique in your everyday life to enhance relaxation and apply it to your exercises and daily activities.
   • Focus on inhaling through the nose for a count of two and exhaling through the nose for a count of four in a calm and quiet manner.

4. Incorporating Nasal Breathing in Motion:

   • Practice nasal breathing while in motion, such as walking, to further enhance your mastery over the breathing technique.
   • Gradually increase the inhale/exhale counts to four/six while focusing on maintaining calm and quiet nasal breathing during movement.

5. Applying Nasal Breathing to Exercises:

   • Apply the nasal breathing technique to your exercises by adjusting the intensity to ensure you can maintain calm and quiet nasal breathing.
   • If necessary, lower the intensity of the exercise to focus on breathing through the nose calmly and quietly to achieve mastery over the movement.
