Posted on Friday, November 13, 2009 by Vikki Hall
I have been working out this week with a trainer. And she brought to my attention something I knew but didn’t really focus on........
I don’t breathe when I exercise!
So there are many reasons why not breathing can be harmful but I will let you figure those out. My main reason for making this my challenge is because when you don’t breathe properly you are actually doing more harm than good when you exercise.
So I will be doing breathing exercises every day to help me be more conscience. Please ask me if I have done my exercises for the day...if you think about it.
I have to get going on this one but then I will be joining MsV on cutting out carbs and after Thanksgiving I will be joining Melissabelle on no meat (she will be having seafood).
The breathing exercise will also be my challenge on sparkpeople.com beginning on 11/16 Monday. Every 21 days we will be doing a different challenge.
I invite you to join me here (or sparkpeople.com) on this challenge or one of your own making. Support does work!
Good luck with everything. I am still trying to get the motivation to just start exercising on my Eiliptical machine I have had sence last year. I pretty much can quit eating meat, cause really I haven’t been eating too much of that and I do like seafood. Now the carbs are totally a differant story, thats hard!
Thank you Vikki on the breathing tip.
Melissa I wasn’t ratting you out.... funny tho that you see it that way!
Frannie just try this 1 time for me..... As soon as you read this..... step away and get on your eliptical for 5 min then let me know how you feel...just do it for me....
Annie that’s good! The more we have support us in our efforts the better our chances of succeeding!
Breathing exercises help with asthma, too. We tend to hold our breath a lot and sometimes breathing is a struggle.
Just Breath it is kind of hard to focus on your breathing but it really does help.
Mine protein will be almonds, walnuts, cottage cheeze and greek yogurt...... NO TOFU!!!
I LOVE HUMMUS! But I buy the store bought kind here.... in MI it was easier to get a good one since there is more of those kinds of resturants. They JUST opened a greek resturant.....yum tabouleh (sp?)
Anyways Annie...recipe please????
Yes Vicki you have to breath. Good 21 day challenge. Me I must track my nutrition. When I dont - OH NO!
Ok Tracy are you going to join the SP challenge that Annie put up?
Yes I’m in, I tracked my food today. All done it’s 9:04 and no more eating for me. So one day down and 21 more to go!
Just an update on my breathing.... I’m doing it! All my exercises as reccommended. Plus another one was added.
So this challenge officially started on Sunday and I have done my 3 sets every day.
