So if you just change from , you know , your maximum , get you up and get going music during the workout to a slower lower cadence that will help you kickstart . The idea of a similar note , you can also use what we call down regulation breathing . You could do them in conjunction or one or the other , whichever is up to you .
However , it happens to be in that moment , um or moments across the five minutes . Uh There were reductions in the same sorts of markers of stress that I described but not as significant as breathing . So I love the Brock breathing tool , post workout .
So I love the Brock breathing tool , post workout . Um And there's some other alternatives there too uh that I just mentioned , but I think people greatly underestimate the potency of breathing for shifting one's nervous system function away from stress or if one wants toward more alertness and stress .
And so forth . Um So provided that there are extended exhales , it seems like the calming response and the reduction in overall stress occurs . The only thing that really send things in the other direction would be something like cyclic hyperventilation .
There's a lot of different things you can try . An easy example is just box breathing . So , and you can imagine box having four squares .
