The breath is the most important factor in the human body.
We can for days without water, weeks without food but yet we can only live a
few minutes holding our breath. The way we breathe in the fitness world is a
bit strange at times. You can breathe in and out your nose or mouth; breathe in
through the nose, out the mouth or in the nose and out the nose. There are many
ways to breathe but during exercise apparently we have to breathe in and out
one time with one rep. That’s how we’re normally taught, even in bodyweight
type exercises like the squat and push-up, inhale up, exhale down or vise
versa.
What if we
switched gears a bit so you can get a few extra reps without breathing in and
out every single time? Learn to breathe differently, conserve your energy and
your breathing. If you’re breathing too much, too early, you may get wined.
It’s like a wrestling match, you need to keep your body strong and supple and
part of that is your breathing, if you get winded too quickly (or as they say
in pro wrestling you Blow Up), you won’t be as efficient and you won’t be able
to handle the stress and possibly end up losing. What does the breath feel
like, sound like and where does the driving force of it come from. Do an
exercise like push-ups, inhale for 2 reps and exhale for 2 reps, you just did 4
reps in one breath. Now do it a little consistently. It’s not easy and it takes
getting use to but you can get more out of your reps with the control of your
breathing power.
Doing the
same old thing can lead to boredom and as the definition of insanity is; doing
the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. Here at Power
& Might, I look to help you find and give information that can help you
from another perspective. Thinking differently, helping you get more out of
what most people teach. Deep Breathing is one of the most powerful aspects of
Physical Culture because it doesn’t just help you become physically strong but
mentally strong as well.
Fluidity is
another important aspect of your training. Like Bruce Lee has stated being like
water, it’s fluid, powerful and can give life as well as destroy it. Moving
with grace and power is far more important than grunting, making little mad
faces and being narrow dimensional. Expand your power; one course that is the
center of this is CoreForce Energy, teaching how to expand your power, your
breathing and your imagination to instantly get stronger and faster. Open up to
building a stronger body from within and take your strength to levels that you
thought were impossible.
Be awesome my friends.
