Warm Up Breathing

Here’s the snarky line we’ve heard 1000 times, “Why do I need to breath? I’ve been doing it all day!”

That response is exactly why we do the breathing in the warm up. Although we breath all day and all night, very rarely do we breath with intent or focus on what we’re doing. In the warm up, we want you to focus on mechanically sounds breaths, notice where you’re feeling it and use it as a chance to kick start the warm up process by revving up your lungs.

It’s a chance to focus on what you’re about to do and get your mindset right. If you walked into the gym and didn’t feel like working out, give those 5 breaths your all, I mean your absolute best for 30 seconds and it could change your outlook or get you more excited to train. Don’t skip it just because you can’t slow down for 1 minute, that’s the exact reason you need it.
