The number one key for high energy!

The main problem why people don’t exercise on a regular basis is a lack of energy. Energy is the main ingredient to move your body through the release of ATP in the muscles. For continuous production of ATP, you need oxygen.

When you make an intense effort and finish out of breath, you don’t have energy anymore to keep going, the "engine" is not working anymore; you have to stop and catch your breath to bring more oxygen to your entire body.

When you exercise hard, you have not choice, you need to focus on your breathing, it’s a vital reflex!

But do you focus on your breathing during daily activities? Probably not too much, because it’s automatic, it’s a subconscious mechanism and we don’t need to be aware of it.

And comes the problem that most of us don’t use a correct pattern of breathing; it’s not effective and we don’t bring the quantity of oxygen we should! It leads to a lack of energy, a lack of focus mind, a lack of enthusiasm to exercise.

We need to learn to breath correctly, deep breathing.

I suggest that you focus on your breathing several times a day, just one minute, and you’ll feel better, you’ll increase your energy and will be more in control of stress (see previous post).

Start to increase your energy and health, learn and focus on your breath.
