breathing exercises?
this is going to be one of them dumb question...but i have to ask because i really dont know..... are there any breathing exercises a person could do to help them not get gased out so fast..any tips .............
Actually, that's not a dumb question at all. I'm going to assume that you're talking about becoming winded when doing cardiovascular exercise. Basically, you want to establish a steady pattern of breathing when you're exercising. For me, when I jog, I take a breath in through my nose when my left foot hits the ground. The next time my left foot hits, i exhale out through the mouth. After a mile or two, I'll switch it over to the right foot just for a little variety.Experiment with it a little and find the pattern that works best for you.
If you're becoming winded when lifting weights, and yes, it can happen, remember to blow out when lifting the weight, and breath in when releasing it.
Another technique that I've used I picked up in a book on tai chi. You can do this when you're just sitting around, and I think it has helped me a little. Breath in for a count of four, then hold your breath for a count of four, then exhale for a count of four. Continue to do this as long as you can. It might be all in the mind, but it's worth a shot.
Hope this helps a bit, Good luck!!!
