How to Breathe in Spin Class
When it comes to a spin class, how you're breathing is just as important as how you're moving. Breathe in spin class with help from one of the leading health and fitness professionals in the state of Utah in this free video clip.
Hi, I'm Denise Druce, director of yoga teacher training at The University of Utah, and today we're going to talk about how to breathe in spin class. So breathing in cycling is a lot the same as breathing in yoga. We want to make sure we get a nice deep breath in but even more importantly we want to focus on the exhalation. So when you're on your spin bike, breathe in through your nose, pull in as much breath as you possibly can and then push that breath all the way out using your mouth. So we're breathing in through the nose and out through the mouth. We can also use a three part breath so as you breathe in through your nose, feel the breath in your belly and then in your ribs and then all the way up into your shoulders so it's the fullest breath you can get and then using abdominals, push that breath out slowly. You might even want to find a rhythmic breath that works with your petal speed or the beat of the music to help you to continue to breathe rhythmically inhaling and exhaling in equal measure.
