Breathing
is important during your workout because
you need to supply a good deal of
oxygen to your muscles and brain.
|
|
|
|
During
Strength Training |
|
It is
very important that you breathe correctly
when doing your weight lifting exercises,
so keep these basic rules of breathing
in mind: |
|
|
|
1) DO
NOT hold your breath! |
|
|
|
2) Inhale
during the lowering phase |
|
|
|
3) Exhale
during the lifting phase. |
|
|
|
|
|
During
Cardio Training |
|
Without
giving it much conscious thought,
most runners breathe in a 2/2 rhythmic
ratio. They take two steps as they
inhale; they take two more steps as
they exhale. While running very slowly,
they often breathe in a 3/3 ratio.
While running very fast, they might
breathe 2/1 or 1/1, but 2/2 is much
more common. |

|
|
Your jaw
should be relaxed, your mouth slightly
open. The oxygen will come through
your nose and mouth to your lungs,
to your blood and to your muscles
without you needing to give it a lot
of thought. |
