Breathing Exercise to Increase Lung Capacity - Follow Along to Guided Breathwork

You have questions and I have (some) answers. Over the past few weeks, I have received excellent questions around breathing exercises, breath holding, and increasing our lung capacity. In this video, I'm walking you through my go-to exercise for better and stronger lungs. This is how I was able to hold my breath for 4 minutes!

    @@mamacito1795 oh my there are many. Tbh... KZread it. It takes time to gather many details and to incorporate the new ideas you find. Some things work for others and some don't. I can offer a lot better advice if I'm actually running with the person. Look into things about form (arm swing, stride length, lean, etc), breathing techniques, good warm ups or stretches for before runs, what to eat before runs, remember to hydrate, even to managing your feet the night before and wearing the right shoes for you, be in comfortable clothing, how to reach your "runners high", etc. Some of this might help if you want to compete, maybe short distance running , maybe long distance. Think about what issues you're having while running. Are you hurting afterward? Look into how to find a proper running form for you. Can't run for long? Practice HIT work outs (high intensity training). It's something like switching between jogging and sprinting. It helps you build cardio. Tbh it's better if you just share me a few concerns your having. Most of all just don't quit trying to learn and practicing. It is good for health physically and personally I believe mentally

Basically I got out of running after training for half marathon due to injury and I've recently restarted. The injury wasn't from running alone but definitely exacerbated it. I just want to avoid injury this time around by laying the ground work early on. Hoping that will help me with speed as last time around I just didn't seem to be making progress as much as I'd like

    The best way to improve your stamina endurance and strength is to continue practicing the activities in which you want to improve your stamina and strength 😅 think of breathing exercises as an aid, but by no means the only solution. Nose breathing during your runs will help train your body to use the air more efficiently. I have some videos around this if you’re interested. These breathing exercises will help you improve your carbon dioxide tolerance. So that you can breathe less and efficiently. Playlist is here: bit.ly/trainyourbreath or bit.ly/slowyourbreath for a more relaxing practice without breath holds. Always start at level 1 and then work your way up.

    Thanks! When you breathe, fill up all the way until you can no longer take in any air. That’s your 100%. Now exhale. Next time you breathe, fill up to about 80% of the last attempt. When you breathe in ALL THE WAY, you become tense and your lungs squish up against your rib cage, which isn’t a calm state to be holding breath in. So that’s why 80% or lower is recommended.

    Oxygen uptake training is a breathing exercise that trains your lungs to hold air for longer increments with comfortable recovery periods in between, making the lungs efficient at consuming oxygen. Carbon dioxide tolerance training is reducing the recovery time in between breath holds so that you build up CO2 and slowly train your lungs to become more tolerant to this gas (very important gas at transporting oxygen throughout the body, among other things).

    Try nose breathing during your runs. You may need to slow your pace to accommodate for the change in breathing style - nose breathing is proven to help long distance runs by improving oxygen uptake, efficiency and usage. This exercise will help you build your lung capacity. And overall improve your carbon dioxide tolerance so that you can breathe less, which promotes a relaxed state of mind. So adding these to your practice is a great way to exercise your lungs.

    For 30, you’re holding your breath for 30 seconds every time. For 45, you’re holding for 45 seconds every time. They follow the same pattern. Start at 30 and when 30 is too easy, go to 45!

    We recommend calm breathing at all times. Your breathing pattern would indicate that this level is a bit too challenging for you. You can regress to triangle breathing here: bit.ly/trianglebreathing or try 30 second holds: bit.ly/trainyourbreath Repeat until you can quietly nose breathe after the hold before progressing to the next level.

    when u say recover, what are steps involved ?

  • @ShoshinShow

    @ShoshinShow

    2 жыл бұрын

    In short, “recover” means “breathe”. In long, there are two types of recovery: One is right after each hold. For this one I mean recover by breathing in or out from your nose. Some people like to breathe out first because they still have some air in the lungs. Others like to breathe in first because they’ve exhausted all of the air in their lungs during the hold. Go about recovering (aka breathing) slowly and through your nose. The second recovery happens after the entire breathing exercise. After many rounds of holds, your lungs will be tired. So treat this as you would a workout. Avoid piling up lung workouts on top of one another and take rest days.

    Breathe in a way that’s comfortable to you. Practice slow diaphragmatic breathing. Slow exhales are great and will maintain your relaxation. Slow exhales become challenging during the 30 or 15 second recovery periods. So during then, catch your breath and keep your calm.

    Thanks Nicola! Breathing exercises in general are a great way to strengthen your lungs. I’d recommend different exercises for you. Check out my other channel here: bit.ly/freeyourbreathing start at level 1 and work your way up. There are exercises specifically for exhalation versus breath holds. You shouldn’t feel any pain or discomfort. If that’s happening, resume breathing slowly and comfortably through your nose. Consult with your healthcare professional on whether you should continue these exercises if you’re experiencing discomfort.

  • @ShoshinShow

    3 ай бұрын

    “Hold in 15” means that a hold is coming up in 15 seconds. It’s giving you an auditory cue so that you can start exhaling your breath and get ready to breathe in before the holds starts “3, 2, 1”. The best way to breathe is through your nose. Put your hand on your belly, when you breathe in, your belly should go out and when you breathe out your belly should go in. This is called diaphragmatic breathing. I show you how in the beginning of the session. During exercise or aerobic activity, try your best to breathe through your nose. I have a video about it here: Nose Breathing During Exercise - kzread.info/dash/bejne/qYl80dVqfbm2lc4.html Hope this helps!

    The frequency is really up to you. If you feel fatigue in your chest/lungs, light headedness, then please rest. Never practice these in the water alone. You’re ready to move to 50 second holds after you can complete this exercise with controlled and quiet nose breathing. Also when your max hold is comfortably past the 1:30 mark, you can move up. The goal is calm, controlled, relaxed breathing (even after completing a hold). All the best!!

    It depends on your goals. If you’re trying to improve your lung health in general, both of those exercises will help. If you’re trying to work on a specific utility based function such as longer breath holds, then practicing holding after inhales will be directly impactful. It’s like stretching and resilience training. They’re both beneficial!
