I'm 45 years into fitness activities and I can't believe I've had overseen the power of breathing.
I saw the first time Mr McKeown at a pod from Ben.
Now I have two books from Mr McKeown and I'm learning more about breathing every day.
Greetings, Meikl from germany. And 👍 😊
bahaha Breathing Expert
Great stuff as always
Great session
After listening im really into this i was thinking of going to the web page. but thought to ask, do you have any way of starting to learn or get the infomation because it can be overwellmig that much information?
Love Patrick Mckeown. I literally posted a video about breathing 1 day ago on my channel, and so much of the information comes from him 🙏
Great information ! Thank you
HI BEN, When we will get coach Kassem Hanson and Paul Carter to your Podcast??
Very thankful for this ben.
Getcha Wim Hof on. Lol
Appreciate this my brothers. Keep teaching . Individual development is the key and it starts with the breathing and being able to still that mind.
I have done this method of breathing when I would train. Yes I used anabolic use bulked up to 310 with good shape nothing mind blowing. But was was the control I had whwn training. I could jog, train for hours on end never out of breath sleep great and my red blood cells have never been as high as before. It works. I now only breathe through my nose.
Why do you not have more views? You bring on such fantastic guest and cover such great topics. Love the content Ben
Having read books of Mr Mckeown and applying his recommendations I had tremendous benefits yet on the short term:
– 30 years of inflammation, stuffy nose, sinusitis gone in a week
– lowered blood pressure by 20
-way more energy, calmness, focus, much better sleep
But also: much better performance in the gym: applying slow controlled nasal breathing during and between the sets I could instantly make about 4 more reps on most of the excercises, needed much less time between sets and between sessions for recovery, could sustain effort for longer time during training. Mind blowing.
