I'm sure you've observed that . Um And interestingly , uh when we had people just do five minutes of meditation , which during which of course they are breathing , but they're just allowing their breathing to progress . However , it happens to be in that moment , um or moments across the five minutes .
And so if you're gonna finish your work out get in the shower again , just close your eyes in the shower . Give me three minutes of focused relaxation , breathing and that will accelerate the recovery process . I love it and I particularly love it because my laboratory works on stress and respiration , ok , breathing and the interactions between the two .
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 .
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 .
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 .
