Let’s figure out how our bodies are designed to breathe during activity!
to avoid tension
to gain focus
to power your movements
to stabilize your lower back and pelvis
before starting your exercise
nope!
focus on your breathing muscles
focus on your ribcage
diaphragm
pelvic floor
transverses abdominis
multifidus
When you’re active, and breathing in, feel your diaphragm contracting and flattening down to your stomach 5-6cm. When you’re active, and breathing out, feel your diaphragm relaxing, and doming up toward your heart 5-6cm.
When you’re active, feel your pelvic floor slightly lifted up…it’s like a reverse pee.
When you’re active, and slightly lifting your pelvic floor, your transversus abdominus will automatically tighten just a little…so will your multifidus. So you just need to maintain a little pelvic floor lift.
