Belly Breathing, Cramping, and Exhales – Movement Debrief Episode 77

Movement Debrief Episode 77 is in the books. Below is a copy of the video for your viewing pleasure, and audio if you can’t stand looking at me.

Here is the set list:

  • Why is belly breathing not beneficial?
  • What should happen during “normal” respiratory mechanics?
  • What happens when you belly breathe?
  • Why would certain muscles (e.g. back, hamstrings, etc) cramp during breathing activities?
  • What are the two ways I coach exhales?
  • When indications would lead you to choosing a specific exhalation strategy?

If you want to watch these live, add me on Facebook They air every Wednesday at 8:30pm CST.
