Dear Friends,
Just a little reminder ... every week new videos are coming out to keep you fit & healthy!
I have been training myself for an Ironman 70.3 in Wilmington NC, which will take place on 21st Oct 2023. And complimentary to you I have been posting daily my professionally designed training program for you to follow and maybe even join in!
Furthermore, I have been recording some of my fitness classes with different content from strength workouts with and without equipment, mobility, flexibility, stretching, myofascial release and other techniques that will help you stay in the best shape you possibly can. These videos are being released every Saturday morning 9am EST. Every fitness level is welcomed, as we feature different difficulties from the "Couch Potato Workout" to "High Intensity Interval Training" as well as low an high impact workouts with different focus on flexibility, stretching, and mobility.
Additionally, I have been doing a lot of meditation and breathwork. Through these recordings we concentrate on different types of breathwork that can help you with your health and fitness. Breathwork is not just for relaxation, stress relief, better sleep and balancing your body, mind and spirit, but also to train your body for better lung capacity, stamina and endurance. As an athlete it is important to be able to perform with an increased CO2 tolerance and decreased O2 level in the cells of your body. Endurance athletes especially show reduced sensitivity to high CO2 and low O2 levels. Higher levels of CO2 increase lactic acid build up, which causes fatigue during exercise. Using different types of breathwork techniques forces your body to adapt to higher lactic acid concentrations improving buffering capacity or the ability to neutralize lactic acid and leading to a delayed onset of breathlessness during exercise and in result increasing your endurance. The mental state of an athlete is just as important as their strength and stamina. So breathwork practice and meditation will help improve performance.
So stay tuned in and don't forget to subscribe to my YouTube Channel!
In health,
