Most people focus on form during workouts.
Almost no one focuses on breathing.
Here’s the upgrade:
👉 Exhale during the hardest part of the movement.
When you exhale during effort:
• Your deep core activates
• Your ribs stack over your pelvis
• Your spine stabilizes
• Your nervous system feels safe
This is sometimes called the “exhale advantage.”
Examples:
✔ Push-up → Inhale down, exhale as you push up
✔ Squat → Inhale down, exhale as you stand
✔ Row → Exhale as you pull
Holding your breath?
That spikes blood pressure and reduces oxygen flow.
Better timing = more power + less strain.
Tomorrow we talk about posture problems that actually start with your breath. 🌿
