Breathing Cool Down

5 minutes of nasal breathing. Instructions: Breath in through your nose for 4 seconds, hold for 2 seconds, exhale for 6-8 seconds. Purpose: The goal here is to increase parasympathetic nervous system activity and bring your body and mind to a more favorable state following a good workout session. Key Focal Points: Be sure to focus on breathing into your stomach. A way you can ensure this is to put one hand on your chest and the other on your stomach. Feel for your stomach rising first. Another way you can do this is putting a light kettlebell on your stomach and breathing into your stomach as to allow the kettlebell to move. Another thing to do is put your feet on a chair or against the wall at such a height to allow your hips and knees to both be at 90 degree angles.
