Importance of Breathing Properly in Workouts

Hey guys! Another fitness article from yours truly, aquariyoursxx. And today, this is not only for people gaining weight but also losing. So please enjoy and learn a lot!

Breathing is a natural thing for us, it's nothing even special if you think about it. You can do it while sleeping, literally. However, if you connect it to working out, it will help you a lot and it is not only from preventing you to pass out due to loss of breath.

Let's take things easy, oxygen, how fuel works to the car, also works the same way to our body. For our body, especially muscles to function properly, it needs a certain amount of oxygen. And this amount depends on the intensity and speed of your movement. If a car wants to speed up, it will require more energy than usual.

In working out, hard as it may believe, breathing properly at the right time will help you get better results. Why?

1. It helps in endurance

Endurance is your ability to "endure" to [take or do] something difficult for you in a period of time. For example in planks, if you breathe too fast, it makes you tired fast. If you breathe too slow, you'll pass out. That's it. However, if you breathe at the right amount of timing you need, this means you have to control it, it lengthens the time of holding the plank up. Longer time, better results.

2. It helps you lift heavier

As said earlier, breathing properly helps the blood flow better, thus means your muscles will get enough oxygen to lift weights. From my experience also, breathing properly helps you relax therefore lenghtens also the time of your capability to lift heavy things. As usual, more lifts, more outstanding results.

And lastly,

3. It keeps you away from distraction

Knowing about the benefits of breathing in workouts will automatically make you focus on your breathing, therefore you're more focused on your workouts.

Remember: Do not hold your breath. Breathe comfortably throughout the exercise. You can find a lot of breathing patterns on the Internet but the most logical is to breathe out in harder parts of the exercise to strenghten your core.

That's is for the benefits of breathing properly when working out. I do hope you are really exercising to reach your goals. Let us all support each other!
