Optimal Aerobic Breathing
Self Help Techniques for
Maximizing Energy Reserves
"The word 'aerobics' came about when the gym instructors got together and said: If we're going to charge $10 an hour, we can't call it Jumping up and down." - Rita Rudner
Rita Rudner is a great comedienne but to get serious, good aerobics teachers are well worth the fees they charge. There is a lot more to good aerobic teaching then jumping up and down. A lot more. Too bad many aerobics instructors do not know that much about optimal breathing.
Because most of us have lost a great deal of "breathe-ability" we may never reach that state of ease of aerobic conditioning that many aerobics instructors aspire to guide us to.
Exercising promises to increase energy. Many of us know that it often
breaks its promise. The key with exercise is to create an energy/oxygen
reserve. The trick with optimal aerobic
breathing is getting in as much energy as you can by expending as little
energy as possible to get it. Exertion requires tension. Tension causes
restriction of breathing ease and energy flow.
Running may create an excess of energy buildup but it costs a lot of
energy to run. So you deposit a dollar and immediately withdraw most of it if
you get the idea. Swimming may work better at building reserve when the water supports the
body, but many cannot deal with the inconvenience and or relax and breathe
easily and deeply
enough while in
the water. With
proper posture and
footwear, many walks can build up aerobic reserve but
time constraints, bad weather and or body
limitation, aches and pains may defeat even the most ardent walker.
Unbalanced Deep Breathing (UDB) lies hidden to many would be exercisers. Poor breathing is a lot like dragging a ball and chain around that we can never release from. The key is to learn if we may have a breathing ease, efficiency, strength or sequencing and balancing problem and handle it. This will help ensure the success of one's health/stress management program and raise our energy beyond what we thought possible. A quick check can expose some of the more typical signs of UDB.
Aerobic/oxygen reserve is largely a matter of efficiency. Lying down while doing my Breathing Exercise #2 has been known to take blood oxygen to the highest amounts, bring on pulsating and streaming feelings of joy and oceanic waves of bliss, and a LOT of extra energy. It has leveled out negative emotions, calmed and soothed overwhelming feelings, contained thoughts running amuck, and it energizes in an even, gentle way, slowly increasing what some might call raising your energy toleration or thermostat.
The self healing properties of aerobics increase oxygen stores as well as strengthen the body's resistance to distressful stress. When the body receives a giant dose of oxygen, nervous system balance and ease of functioning, incredible: healings" and increases of spiritual and personal power can and do happen almost routinely. The combination of breathing development and key breathing exercise is a pretty dependable source of second wind as well. Makes walking more fun too.

When taken orally, PEA
is known to readily cross the blood-brain barrier and be
immediately available in the brain. In the brain PEA acts by increasing
the concentration of dopamine in the synaptic cleft. Naturally enhancing
dopamine transmission in the brain has been associated with greater
experience of pleasure.
Extremely high levels of energy can be attained without biking, walking, jogging or swimming. These could not be easier and gentler and more effective.
