Breathing is something we do thousands of times a day without giving it much thought. But how we breathe can influence our nervous system, focus, training intensity, and recovery.

In Episode 3 of Morning Coffee with Coach Chris, we’re talking about how to use your breath as a tool to improve your training and everyday life.

In this episode, we cover:

• Nasal Breathing vs. Mouth Breathing: Understanding the differences and when they matter.
• Box Breathing: A simple technique to help regulate your breathing, calm your mind, and improve focus.
• Breathing for Recovery: How nasal breathing can help support relaxation and recovery after exercise.
• Nasal Breathing During Workouts: Using your breathing as a tool to gauge and regulate your training intensity.
• Breathing for Focus: How intentional breathing can help you get out of your head and focus on the task at hand.

Breathing isn’t just something that happens in the background. It’s a tool you can learn to use.

Whether you’re training for strength, improving your athleticism, or simply trying to stay active as you get older, learning to control your breathing can be another valuable tool in your toolbox.

Never Stop Being An Athlete.

In this episode, I talk about how ego and overthinking can get in the way of becoming stronger, healthier, and more capable.

When experts say "don't squat after 50," they usually mean heavy back squats, but they rarely say so. The message that lands is that squatting in general is off the table. It isn't.

In this episode, I break down what that advice really means and why you should be squatting if you're able to and have no injuries or limitations.
