WHY DO ELITE ATHLETES TAPE THEIR MOUTHS DURING TRAINING?

To encourage nasal breathing, build breathing discipline, improve oxygen delivery to the muscles, and improve tolerance to COā‚‚.

Your breathing is trainable. Train it like a muscle.

Proof that practicing breathwork can unlock powers your body has that you didnā€™t know it had ā€¦ā€¦

Athletes train their strength, speed, and endurance relentlessly. Yet most completely ignore the ONE thing powering every second of performance.

THEIR BREATH.

Better breathing. Better endurance. Faster recovery. Sharper focus.

Your breath is your most underrated performance tool. TRAIN IT.

Turn your breath into a weapon

šŸ”„ FINISHED YOUR SET? CLOSE YOUR MOUTH.

Nasal breathing helps you:

šŸ’Ŗ Regain control of your breathing faster.

šŸ« Build COā‚‚ tolerance for better breathing efficiency.

šŸ§  Shift out of fight-or-flight and toward recovery.

Your set is over. Your recovery is just beginning.

If you donā€™t utilize nasal breathing when your heart rate is high, you are leaving a little energy, power, speed, velocity and focus on the table.

TIME FLIES.

What a summer at Breathletics ! Hooked up with top ranked Team Zariah zariah_chi and the guys Sam Colonna Boxing, got my college athletes back for another summer of torture, worked with a top Junior Olympic golfer, D1 volleyball player, D1 golfer, a silver medal winning Jiu Jitsu athlete, a few teams, and local athletes (and retired moms) across the boardā€¦.

To be able to help not only athletes but people in all populations unlock strengths with breathing and breathwork that they didnā€™t know they had is something that I find myself so insanely lucky to be able to do.

Through all the mask breathing ,breath holds, mouth taping, visualization and meditation, I want to thank you for allowing Breathletics to help turn your breath into a weapon. Truly an honor ā€¦..

REEEEEEEELAAAAAAAAX yourself ā€¦..

This is a proven way to activate the Vagus nerve (Latin for ā€œall over the bodyā€) which is basically your chill switch. This activates it lightning - style : SUPER quick.
DISCLAIMER- Do not do breath holds if you are pregnant, driving or are in water

REEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAX yourselfā€¦..

Try this when you want the floor to drop out with whatever stress or anger you are going through at the momentā€¦..

This activates the Vagus nerve (Think : Chill switch)
It runs all over your body. And this type of breathwork exercise has you taking less than 4 breaths /minute, which not only activates your Vagus nerve, it turns it on, lightning-bolt styleā€¦..SUPER quick
DISCLAIMER: Donā€™t do these if youā€™re pregnant, behind the wheel or in water

Shout out to the Almighty Zariah B from Sam Colonna Boxing at USA Boxing Nationals this weekend in Cleveland! Sheā€™s added breathwork to her training so the sky is the limit ā€¦.This kid works harder than most of the adults Iā€™ve worked with - big heart and bigger punches.

Time to add more hardware to your collectionā€¦..

Your core shouldnā€™t stop working because you need to breatheā€”and your breathing shouldnā€™t fall apart because your core is working. Train both systems together.

Why the tape???

Because when your core starts screaming, your body wants to open the mouth and dump air. We are taking that option away. Now you have to control the breath, manage COā‚‚, and maintain your brace under stress.

For an athlete, THAT is the skillā€”staying efficient when your body wants to panic.

If you are busting your ass for an hour, hour-and-a-half, hammering the hell out of your bodyā€¦..why arenā€™t you maximizing the return on your investment??

ESPECIALLY if all you have to do is sit still and chillā€¦.

Doing 5 strong breath-holds /day for four days in a row elicits a physiological response from the kidneys to the bone marrow, telling it to release erythropoietin- EPO - which adds more red blood cells into the bloodstream.

Red blood cells carry oxygen.

More RBCā€™s=more oxygen-carrying capacity

More O2 capacity = more energy to muscles

More energy = More power, speed, endurance & recovery , no matter what sport you play.
