How do you breathe during shred?

I am aware of my breathing and I breathe during a move.

I am not aware of my breathing. . . I'll pay attention next time I go out.

Breathing

Post by Hacky_Slacker »

do you ever think about it? i mean really, if i told you to breathe, you might look at me funny and say some comment, but really! alot of people hold thier breaths whil exacuting a move. i just want to hear what people think about it, or if they DO think about it. . .


breathe...

There was actually already a thread on this topic but a fresh one would be nice. I hold my breath sometimes, when I'm doing stuff I don't normally do, or over concentrate. If you really concetrate on breathing you lose a little focus for your run though, so the only way to get better at breathing in a run, skool all your moves untill they are really easy. :)

Breathing in footbag is like breathing when lifting weights, martial arts, etc. Breathe in on contract breathe out on expand (ie Push-ups: when going down to the floor, breathe in, when pushing yourself up, breath out). This technique works great with footbag. Going to hit a ig power move breath out as you're executing it. If anyone has anyone has any more/better info, fill in the blanks

I don't really notice myself holding my breath and I rarely get caught gasping for breath so I'd say I breathe like the way chris described. But I mean sometimes I fucking drool when I dive :P :?

It's generally only when I try a dificult move that I hold my breath. Other than that, I'm not sure how my breathing goes.

I hold my breath before pixie/fairy ducking. I'm cool otherwise.

Yes! Dustin that happens to ME! It SUCKS... like... if I'm trying to impress people walking by, or simply not look like an idiot, and I have a cold, it's hopeless.

coolness, I don't feel so stupid anymore. Snot came flying on Saturday, I think it was ducking that brought it on though.
