@kale67729 ай бұрын
@jayden_2954 in through nose out through the mouth. Make your lips smaller like you're gonna whistle, but don't actually whistle when you exhale. It will stent your lungs open and allow more oxygen to be absorbed into the blood. More O2 for muscles to utilize = more strength obtained. If you can't get enough air in through your nose, it's fine to inhale through your mouth. Good luck with your gains!

I've always found the 4-7-8 breath to be really effective at calming down. That's a deep nasal inhale for 4 counts, hold for 7 counts, and exhale through the mouth for at least 8 counts. It's literally made massive, almost instant, shifts in my mood when I'm really stressed out and helped me calm down and focus on solving the problem that got me stressed to begin with.

Even on that medication I would only get 4 hours of sleep and a few nights i still did not sleep at all. Once i started practicing fully breathing when I went to bed I fell asleep ALOT faster like basically instantly I'd fall asleep and for a longer period than with the medication, from 4 hours max to 8+ full hours. Ever since then I have been advocating for people to take a moment to breath I always say 'I know it sounds silly but I have had large benifits from breathing'

Usually if my mind is racing, meditation and breathing is enough to slow it down. Also u should be gentle with yourself. It's ok to get thoughts in the middle of the exercises. Just recognise it and bring your attention back to the breath. If u do it for enough days, it will make a difference. By enough days i mean at least 3 to 4 months. If u still don't see much difference it's better to go to a doctor or therapist.

Yes, and it's usually because I haven't been doing my exercises regularly while I'm well. I've personally found that training your breathing for five minutes every day makes it a useful tool while I'm panicking, but only if I'm doing it well. I have chronic hyperventilation, and a panic attack can be brought on by hyperventilating or be combined with it. In both cases, people breathing with me or the good old fashioned 'breath into a bag' shit never fails to make it worse. What does help, for me, is this: lift your chin a little so your airways "feel" free. Put a hand on your belly, your sternum or your lower arm so you are touching yourself. This helps your brain focus on something other that the (cause of) panic itself, and it grounds you in your body if your mind is too detatched to feel your breath. Breathe out consciously. For me the 3-3-6 method works best (breathe in for three counts, hold three counts, breathe out for 6), but that's something you have to figure out for yourself whle exercising. But that part is key: if you don't excercise your breathing every day, you're not going to have made it automatic enough to help when you're panicking.

She got her own classroom with computers and heartbeat-reading devices attached to them. We used to go there and do the exercises: you breath properly (fast inhale, very slow exhale), and the pictures on the screen of the PC would clear up. I really mastered it, was the best breather in the school. Later I found out that this is an essential part of yoga. Long story short, breathing techniques are really important and can help with stress and anxiety. I’ve been practicing it for almost 20 years, and people around me always wonder, why am I so calmed down. The breathing, that’s why. And beer, yeah, definitely beer

Great video! The long exhalation technique I learned 35 years ago while swimming competitively. We used it to saturate the muscles and lungs with extra oxygen to do sprint races without breathing in between strokes. It is highly effective, and have used ever since when swimming. my suggestion to increase effectiveness is to breathe in through the mouth as much as one can and then exhale through the nose to slow as much as possible the process. It’s true that after a few minutes, if done correctly, the extra oxygen makes you dizzy but keep going a few moments more after that and the process will relax your muscles and increase physical capability.

That was until one doctor suggest that he try breathing techniques. Ever since then he's been able to manage the pain and even decrease the frequency of migraines he gets. I know it sounds crazy, but even I was able to see the difference in his overall health. Obviously it's not going to cure everything, but he's got me convinced it can at least greatly help with pain. The same goes for stress, which is something that I've struggled with all my life. Breathing just works, it's crazy!

I can't stand such 'strict' exercises. It needs to be more 'open-ended' we all have different lung sizes/chest cavities, endurance, etc, makes absolutely ZERO sense for everyone to do the same, imho.

Funny how I forget to breathe ALL the time! On another note, I don't suffer from anxiety as badly as I used to, however, there is a counterintuitive breathing trick I have found that helps when I'm starting to hyperventilate or becoming overly anxious. I hold my breath, on purpose. I hold it for a long as I can, then, I force it all out and then some. I try to breathe out as much as I possibly can before repeating and also taking regular breaths in between, as necessary. It usually only takes two to three of these to help me get back to a more normal breathing pattern; it's surprisingly quick. I dunno what it is about this trick, but I've used it with others and it has always worked, for them, too.

Just a complex way to say “In through your nose. Out through your mouth.” However, knowing what each breath does really allows a person to improve the process and understand the feeling.

AH, i always thought i was weird when i felt better whenever i breathed in so deeply and sighed . idk for other cultures (im Asian) but sighing is supposed to be "Bad" as you are sighing out wealth or luck or something, which i vehemently disagree with. now.. there is some.. scientifically proven fact that this makes us feel better, i am so happy.

I have high blood pressure and it’s giving me added stress and anxiety thinking about having to go on medication. I’ll try these out! Thanks! Any advice regarding trying to breathe to distend the stomach area instead of the chest area too? Myth or truth?

I learned to breathe from the respirator. One beat in, five beats out. I did it from the time I was a teen. I realized it worked well for me.

The best tips I can add are that controlling the flow is most important for calming down as you want to take somewhat fast but not sharp breaths in, and you want to pinch your lips, kinda like drinking from a small straw in order to maximize time breathing out as this means more stimulation to your parasympathetic nervous system.

It's good to know that those "breathing exercises" on most fitness apps are somewhat true.

Fun fact about nose breathing: There's actually a lot of people that breath with their nose incorrectly. Some people when they breathe through their nose breathe as though they were breathing through their mouth. If you're curious you do this by breathing through your mouth then close your mouth and keep breathing that same way. The air will be pulled through your nose but it will feel and sound completely different, it'll feel like the air is being pulled back and pushed forward and will be a louder kind of laboured sound. But, if you're properly breathing through your nose it should sound very quiet and it should feel like the air is being pulled up and pushed down.
