Recovery starts with your nervous system.
When your exhale is longer than your inhale, you stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system- the branch responsible for rest, recovery, digestion, and repair.
Try this:
• Inhale for 4
• Exhale for 6
• Repeat for 2–5 minutes
This simple shift in your breathing can help:
– Lower heart rate
– Reduce stress hormones
– Improve heart rate variability (a marker of resilience and recovery)
– Release unnecessary muscle tension
– Support faster recovery after movement
The goal isn’t to breathe harder it’s to breathe with intention.
Recovery isn’t passive. It’s something we can actively support, one breath at a time.
Find a moment or 2 and recover.
