Take a Breath
I wish everybody would take yoga so they could get a deeper understanding and awareness of their breathing when exercising. Of course, if it just isn’t your thing and you don’t want to, I can’t make you. But if you aren’t going to take yoga and you’re one of those people I see panting and heaving while doing any form of cardio exercise, then please learn more about proper breathing technique so you can allow your body to relax and become stronger. Putting unnecessary stress on the body by pushing so hard that you’re out of breath is counterproductive. Exercise should feel good.
And your life should feel good. This weekend, take a breath. Whether you’re running, watching a flick at home or going out for drinks with the girls, take a deep breath and enjoy the moment in a weekend free of stress.
