I have a private Personal Training studio in Austin, Texas, in my home. I will also go to my clients homes - and will bring any apparatus if its needed. I believe in a balance of muscle toning/strengthening, flexibility, and cardio/aerobic exercises that are fun and bring results. I also offer expertise and experience in proper and effective nutrition plans for ideal body weight and weight loss, without deprivation. Each clients program and sessions are geared to them personally, to fit into their lifestyle, to be long lasting and effective.
Personal Trainers, Austin, TXStress Relief in Seconds – Deep Breathing
I’m deep breathing as I send this.
Breathe life in. Breathe stress out. Increase energy, improve circulation, send better oxygen to your cells and brain, change your mood, and reduce stress, all by taking a few long, slow deep breaths. Before this became habit for me, I found remembering and doing that first breath the most difficult. Now I realize, and you will too, it’s mere seconds, and you’ll want that second, and perhaps a third deep breath. You will feel more relaxed, and less stressed immediately after you do this. I promise you. Instant gratification!
Be still, close your eyes (unless driving) ;-)
- Take a long slow breath in..and hold it momentarily
- Purse your lips, making a tiny hole, so it takes you a few seconds to exhale fully
- Repeat. It works.
You can do this anywhere, anytime, as often as you’d like.
Happy less stressful Friday, and Happy Spring,
Margo
