Get More Out Of Less: Breathing Fundamentals For An Aging Population
Dysfunctional breathing (DB) is a respiratory condition characterized by irregular breathing rates and patterns that occur either in the absence of disease or as a result of a chronic illness disease. As we learn to move from mouth breathing to nasal dominance, not only are we improving the overall health of our clients, we can do more with less while reducing the risk of injury. When applying nasal dominance during exercise and fitness routines, we exercise our respiratory system first, cardiovascular second, and musculoskeletal system last. Our body is safe in the movement but feels like it’s working harder. Learn the art, science, and application of breath training to improve health, fitness, and exercise performance for aging populations.
