Crocodile Breathing is a way of encouraging activation of the diaphragm which is the main muscle of respiration. When you use your diaphragm to breathe as opposed to the more typical “shallow breathing” using the chest and shoulders it has a variety of health benefits.👍🙌 Crocodile breathing is diaphragmatic breathing done laying on your belly with the body completely relaxed. It can help improve the following:   1. Neck & shoulder tension 2. Lower back tension 3. Sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system balance 4. Core/stability for exercise 5. Thoracic Spine (middle back) mobility Crocodile breathing is also a great destresser as it puts you back in your parasympathetic  (rest and digest) nervous system.🧘 How to do it? •lay on your stomach, place your head on your hand, breathe into your stomach. Your stomach should feel like a balloon filling up with air. 🎈🐡

Did you know that stretching can improve long term strength development? 👍 Stretching allows your muscles to lengthen fully so that you can move properly through a full range of motion when training. Greater range of motion increases the mechanical tension in the muscle which in turn causes a greater stimulus for strength development. Not to mention that being more flexible allows you to maintain better positions, decreasing injury risk over time and allowing for more consistency in training! 🤸‍♀️
