Bill and Chris begin by discussing jargon and “bad words” when it comes to fitness, health and wellness. Having a shared language is important, but once communication starts to get overrun by buzz-worthy sayings we get further and further away from the realm of the useful. Many of these ideas relate back to movement and the variability of movement, so the main theme of the episode starts to solidify around that. What are your intentions? Where do you want to end up? What are the trade-offs associated? These questions are what tend to be most important for progress.

In this episode Bill and Chris talk about how we breathe and the mechanics of breathing. There is a lot of misinformation out there in regards to how people should breathe. It is not a one size fits all scenario. We are all born with various structural differences that need to be taken into account when we breathe. The far ends of the spectrum give us wide structural configurations and narrow ones. Depending on where you lie on this continuum, you will need to go about breathing a bit differently in order to restore an authentic breath that matches your structure. We touch upon all of these things this episode. This will be the first part in a multi part series on breathing. #breathing #breathingmechanics #breathwork #yoga #backpainLIKE the podcast to help other see it COMMENT on YT with any questions you might have and let’s start a discussion SHARE it with anyone who you know is stuck in the land of fitness confusionJOIN the RECON training program: Interested in learning more about Bill and Chris’s fitness program RECON?
