Cheers to those who turned up today at our first Performance Breathing online coaching room. Good conversation and questions around how to most efficiently use the course to get the most out of it. These coaching rooms are a great way to further your knowledge and learn the little intricacies that sometimes make a huge impact in terms of how you apply the knowledge, skills and exercises in the course.
As you all move through the course just fire as many questions as you like up here on the community page as the more we share the more we all learn. I will personally be on here to answer these questions. The group coaching rooms will be a further opportunity to delve deeper into these questions and also offer my own input into key aspects of breathing training.
Our next group coaching call will be in a fortnight (we will add the date/time tomorrow) so get stuck in to the work - my challenge to you is to really get the breathing mechaincs work dialled in. You will see an advanced progression in the diaphragmatic breathing exercise of the breathing mechanics section. Set yourself a goal to get a 16 second inhale and 18 second exhale - take your time though and work within your own capacity.
The most important mental skill is self awareness. By better understanding you're breathing and how to use it to enhance health and performance you learn a lot more about your physical and mental state.
Enjoy and cheers, Dave Wood
