#Throwback - #MyWackyFriends 👉 @stevekardian, @tonyapaulson, @erikpaulson

Sorinex's Summer Strong fulfilled the well-documented need for tribe that Sebastian Junger writes about. A brilliant balance of intellectual stimulation, physical activity, cathartic emotions and good food.
Thank you @bertsorin and the @sorinex family (@jenwiderstrom, @gunnarfitness, @tuckyducky9, @laurazerra, @hot45acp, @ksu_fb_strength )for being role models of being #legendary, growing community and inspiring us all to be better humans.

Holding your breath as you sit tranquilly is one thing. Try dancing (gracefully) under 141 feet of water -- for six minutes. I started holding my breath at the beginning of this hauntingly beautiful video and jolted out an exhale grimacing, before she was in her first swirl. Extreme feats don't have to be loud to be mindblowing. This dance is all about mental game, control and then fluidity. Breathtaking... full video in bio!

Don’t let your thoracic cavity become a rib cage.
__
So yes, your thoracic cavity is your rib cage, but while you want your ribs to be protective of your lungs and heart, you don’t want the rigidity of a cage. So if you are power posing, like a steely-eyed barrel-chested freedom fighter but never de-flate and stretch then you 👇

1. Can not really get into a full parasympathetic state.

2. Are not supporting your digestive organs and back.

3. Aren’t moving the middle of your diaphragm at all.

4. Are putting yourself at risk for rib injuries because of lack of flexibility.

5. Have such a crappy exhale that you’ll def be overbreathing trying to “catch up.” __
BTW I'm not sure the Mighty Mel had a bad exhale, but he sure was able to pose so that his ribcage looked boxlike and made for a good drink stand...

Few people take real lateral breaths – where the ribcage flares and the shoulders don’t move. While it’s good to know how to do this for the times you need core stability in your abs, once you are out of that yoga pose or posture, go back to a diaphragmatic breath where you move your middle. Having your middle tensed all the time isn’t good. It’s a hallowed out position that doesn’t give your back support, doesn’t support peristalsis (meaning its going to exacerbate lower back pain or acid reflux). A lateral breath only uses the circumference of the diaphragm. your middle has to expand (be that the front sides or back) in order for the middle of your diaphragm to descend.

Got to head over to meet @coachren and work with @DevonBrock @thachamp_ HAS A FIGHT TONIGH @Bellatormma 197 against Kimbo Slice's son. Working with someone who has good sense of movement and is curious about new information is the best experience for me...Dev took notes and asked me to repeat things, he was focused and really intent on the information. We spent three solid hours working together.

#repost @coach.ren:
Sometimes you just have to BREATHE! Had an awesome day getting to work with @drbelisa and get my breathing right! Brought @thachamp_ through to come learn some techniques before we head out to @bellatormma next week!
. . . . . . . . .
It’s amazing how overlooked something like breathing can be, despite how crucial it is to our performance. As soon as your breath goes your body wants to quit. Catch your breath and you allow your body and mind to reset. It’s the key to what keeps us alive and our thoughts aligned. Even the most stressful of situations. I strongly suggest checking out @drbelisa and just taking the time to learn about your breathing and how it can benefit you in a number of ways. #CoachRen

Your brain can’t register de-stressing until your nervous system has done it first. We often miss this step. How do you do it? With your breathing.

Finally we are paying some attention into “real” recovery — not just “not working out” on your down day. What do you do to recover or regen?

@jarardpearcex lives in New Zealand, and he has a complete spinal cord injury at T5 level from an automobile accident.
______
In helping him use as much of his diaphragm and intercostal muscles as possible (vs. shoulders) he has been able to have better balance and been able to active some core muscles.
_____
Your diaphragm isn’t just a breathing muscle, it’s actually a postural muscle as well. I’ll follow up and let you know how things go over the next few months. Follow Jarard at @jarardpearcex 👈
