The power of our breathing and consciously training our body

Monday Master Blog: The power of our breathing and consciously training our body

November 9, 2024

We often forget the power of our breathing and consciously training our body.” Consciously training your body may sound strange, but it is something we often forget. 

We often live unconsciously, and that leads to unconscious choices and behaviors that seem very natural. The goal is to increase this awareness, and in personal training we pay a lot of attention to this.

You might be thinking, “Why should I care? I’m just breathing?” That’s right, breathing is a natural response, but it doesn’t always happen in the most effective way. 

However, mindful breathing offers numerous benefits for both our physical and mental health. Techniques like deep abdominal breathing help to reduce stress and anxiety, which contributes to better emotional balance. 

In addition, you optimize the oxygen supply to your body, which leads to more energy, better performance and faster recovery after exercise. 

In addition, regular breathing exercises can calm your thoughts, which leads to improved focus in your daily life.

By becoming aware of your body and breathing, you can apply these insights to your daily life. 

For example, you will notice more quickly when your shoulders are tense and stretched because you have been sitting for a long time, or that your breathing changes under stress.

This enables you to recognize and control signals in time, giving you more control and feeling more confident. In short, conscious breathing offers significant benefits for your health and well-being. 

Together with your personal trainer, you can focus on this with targeted exercises and learn how to breathe effectively during strength training. This is a valuable goal that will help you further.
