March Workouts ~ Smoke

[Smoke]

Got a walk in this morning, usual hour ish.
Need to get back into that, felt it going up the one hill.

[fish]

keep it going.

de-conditioning happens quicker and quicker as time goes on.

hey, Smoke, your e-mail has some sort of a connection to the Ohio Department of Labor.

Excuse for slacking was time change…. Time changed back so no more excuses,

Walk hour. Outside, little chilly but beautiful out.

[Smoke]

Snow was a bust for us… got 4-5 inches at the most. A lot of wind now though.

[fish]

we got a near miss, too.

which is ok with me in March.

we did get out on the small snowshoes.

very windy, but we live on the coast.

did you get any of the e-mails ?

of course, how would you know either way ?

oh, look. it's a duh-fish

[Smoke]

I sent you a different email to use

[fish]

[Smoke]

Crummy weather this week, planning on going the weekend.

[Smoke]

Got walk in this morning, little chilly but that’s ok.

I fear our health system is getting to be like Canada's or Brittan's.

Don't get sick.

Agreed, I don’t have much faith in out healthcare system… never really did.

[Smoke]

Raining lazy day… long week at work.

[Smoke]

Went to work this morning for a couple hours, came home and did 3 rounds of Wim Hoff’s breathing. Then went out for an hour walk.

Hoping to get back into some sort of routine.

i am somewhat aware of mr Hof's techniques, but will do more reading about the iceman.

I have practiced various types of Pranayama for many years now, although I confess alternate nostril breathing escapes me.

Women are notorious for shoulder elevation breathing. lower lungs almost empty.

Hof talks about the wave, but I have not read yet a description that matches my practice.

Belly down, out, up, which naturally continues into the lower chest and on to an elevation of the upper chest and shoulders.

it's a wave motion.

i drop the lower ab to begin the exhalation, which i think is a break with traditional forms, but i can get a continuous wave motion that way.

inhalation and exhalation begin below the navel.

great stuff.

i can coordinate my breathing with my heartbeat.

i also count breaths to 10 as a meditation device.
