Learn a better way to breathe to recover.
If you want to recover more efficiently after a tough training session or an acclimatization hike during your expedition, this protocol embraces the science of blood biochemistry to improve your oxygen delivery.
-> First into your blood,
-> then into your muscles.
This is especially important at high altitude where this can be a major challenge given low oxygen saturation levels (typically).
What You’ll Learn in This Video:
1. How to do Recovery Breathing: Step by step
2. Why it works: The science behind oxygen delivery and the CO2/pH balance
3. When to use it: After tough workouts, acclimatization hikes, and during altitude expeditions
The Recovery Breathing method combines elements of controlled hyperventilation (oxygen into blood) and Breathe Light (oxygen out of blood and into muscle or organ tissue) to optimize oxygenation and speed up recovery.
Try it out, and let us know how it works for you in the comments!
Breathe better. Recover faster. Perform stronger.
