Proper breathing techniques are very important. It doesn't matter if you are exercising, shopping, or sitting around the house; you need to breathe the right way.
For me, that's even more important because of my asthma. I have to make sure that my breathing stays calm while I run or else my lungs close up (I'd make some kind of a joke there but it just isn't funny - I could actually die).
Well in my last few gym workouts I've really focused on my breathing while I was lifting, and I'm already seeing improvements because of that. I'm able to lift more without expending as much energy because my body remains more relaxed and focused.
I guess that's why so many people do yoga and meditation. It teaches you to always maintain calm steady breathing. I might need to try that.
Anyway, that's my tip of the day. Keep breathing.

Yeah, I've had to take plenty of deep breaths dealing with you and your shenanigans baby. Wait, I feel another one coming on...
Luv you ;-)
Aaah...Breathing! That's why your doing so well at the gym...I guess starting the rumor at work that you take HGH wasn't a good idea ... live and learn, right?
