I discovered it four days ago, and each morning when I wake up, there is a different highly detailed video about - as you have said - something regarding kick boxing that never gets talked about waiting for me on my RUclips home page. And it seems like they just keep coming, lol. Thx so much for your efforts, and - although I am more of a humble personality type - I can't help but feel a bit of national pride being a fellow Canadian. Keep up the great work, brotha. And peace ☮️

    I have a problem figuring out how to breathe. I went to a pulmonologist today, and he told me to expand my stomach as I'm inhaling. But for some reason when I am inhaling through my nose, my chest is expanding and my stomach is moving back towards my spine.
    If you can do a breathing video to show how you're breathing through your stomach, diaphragm, mouth, nostril so that we can see the movement of the breath, that would be super helpful!

  • @KelpWolf
    @KelpWolf Год назад

    This is great, I'm going to have to try these. I have some other ones that I do already, but these are cool variations. You should try doing breath holding CO2 tables for a training camp. Working on building CO2 tolerance can really up your cardio even if you're a cardio machine already and haven't been training CO2 tolerance. The exhale and jumping jacks is a CO2 tolerance drill.
    I do controlled deep breaths for jumping jacks. 5 jumping jacks in breath, 5 out breath. Sets of 20. Maintain as long as I can, then do one set of 4in/out when I can't hold 5 anymore. I started doing the same with keeping core flexed after watching one of your videos on conditioning for body strikes... it's much harder

      Being able to catch your breathe and control your breathing isn't easy but it will improve in time. Stay diligent with your routine and know small progression is the key.
      I'd say doing this 3-4 times per week is good. Make sure you are also doing exercise where you put in at least 30 minutes 3-4 times per week.
