Just found out I’m pregnant, 5 weeks! I’m nervous to do exercises wrong that could affect my pregnancy, so I’m checking out all the videos right now!

I think I got it! And will keep referring to this video till it becomes easier and more natural

Would have been good to better show the breathing with a sound.

A foundational inner core unit exercise in itself that can also be incorporated into your lifting!

On the inhale: relax and lengthen the PF and breathe into ribcage laterally: belly will expand some ( check out the video on engaging the PF correctly)

On the exhale: engaging the ENTIRE pelvic floor. Not just a kegel or holding in your pee. Then you will wrap your TVA by thinking about pulling your hips together, middle sides together and ribs together: zipping up a coat or hugging your baby or organs! Think “up and in”

You will apply this breathing pattern to lifting. Matching the intensity of the engagement with the intensity of the exercise. Over time this should become natural.

What is diaphragmatic breathing?

Great explanation of diaphragmatic breathing!

Cristine

Diaphragmatic Breathing in depth

It was great - but one question - does this mean the diaphragm breathing is all the time or just while working out?

Diaphragmatic Breathing Tutorial

Yes! I found myself yesterday holding my breath (always have, especially when I was trying to keep my core engaged) but I kept catching myself and telling myself to breath.

Saving up to buy the core guide but found this tip helpful! Need all the breathing tips while I have pneumonia 😅

Tristian

Breathing Tip

What a great way of providing feedback to better understand and reinforce diaphragmatic breathing!!! I can’t wait to do this daily for a few weeks/months to see if it really can help me reprogram my normal breathing!

Meaghan

Great tip! I was completely unaware of this breathing exercise and will give it a try! I have large rips so I want to be conscious on corseting them in naturally with my muscle strength. 
Thank you!!
