What happened when myself and a bunch of clients embarked on a January 31 days nose breathing during exercise challenge? The proof is in the pudding! 🤯🤯

Tip 6 ✨
The final tip: take a tissue along as you exercise. It is normal for your nose to run a bit more during exercise whilst nose breathing. You might even find, after a few sessions, your sinuses start to feel more open. This is due to the release of nitric oxide in your sinus whilst nose breathing. Nitric oxide helps decongest your sinuses. Isn’t that a great little bonus? 😁

Tip 5 ✨
No talking! Talking leads to mouth breathing. You cannot chat and nose breathe. Maybe something to reflect on in life as well. If you have a job that requires a lot of talking, a family with small children, a personality which enjoys socialising… Maybe take some conscious time during your day where you are silent and just breathing. 🤗

Tip 4 ✨
Look up. Where your eyes go, your posture goes. You will struggle to breathe efficiently when falling forward. Same goes for your shoulders. Relax them out of your ears and allow your posture to open up.

Tip 3 ✨
The point of nose breathing is to better engage your diaphragm which is your main muscle for breathing. We know our diaphragm is working well when we feel the movement of breath around your abdomen and not in your chest.
The concept of breathing low and slow helps us achieve this. When breathing in we want to breathe LOW, in the direction of our pelvis and abdomen and not into your chest. When breathing out we want to breathe SLOW; which simply means breathing out longer and not super “hard”. Try not to cut your out breath short or rush it because of air hunger/the need to breathe in as quick as possible.

Tip 2 ✨
You are going to struggle with air hunger (feeling short of breath, maybe dizzy, super desperate to breathe through your mouth). This will get better as your diaphragm (main muscle of breathing) gets stronger. We need to build this foundation though so instead of giving up, take a break! When the air hunger sets in, slow down or even stop and just give yourself a chance. With time, patience and a bit of work, you will soon start feeling stronger and stronger!
