Burdened with a protruding belly and frequent back pain? Stop wasting your breath!
BREATHING is rightfully emphasized as an integral part of exercise….
BUT, more important than when you breathe is the ISSUE of HOW you Breath.
The Skinny on Breathing:
Our Diaphragm has critical attachments to our deepest layer of abdominal muscle -Transverse Abdominis – a big player in back pain. Transverse Abdominis ties into the pelvic floor and hip flexor muscles uniting the core! (See PowerWire #8)
Trained Breathing strengthens hips, ab’s and tushies!!! With instruction and repetition, you can get your whole core behind your breath!
Not Sure you’re breathing right?...Just Look Down!
Right Breathing fixes your posture AND tames your Gut! If you have a belly protrusion, you have lost your breath. The Tranverse Abdominis not only assists breath but acts as the “corset muscle” - literally holding in intestines and stomach! Tranverse Abdoninis is unusual because it is primarily recruited in respiration. Core-Less Breathing = Protruding Belly!
SOLUTION: A Whisper Campaign
The mechanics involved in WHISPERING connect the diaphragm into the rest of the core. In The Ranks, we insinuate correct “whispery” breathing action with every exercise.
The Wind at our Backs
The back improves as well!! Spinal support is preferably supplied by the Strong core in front of the spine. With a breathless, deflated core, the smaller muscles running along the back of the spine (See: Backfire at RanksAcademy.com) are painfully overworked.
So Battle the Bulge & defend your back – Learn to Train Every Breath You Take with The Ranks!!!
