Absolute waste of time
I do box breathing after working out but then I do a cold shower. The relaxation is gone! 😩Unfortunately my morning routine is really tight.
Andy’s a legend, but playing slow music and breathing exercises for recovery LOL. The number 1 thing for improvement and recovery is stretching. End of story.
I can’t help but wonder if there could be similar benefits in an intra-workout context. So when you hit your rest period between sets you might shift to chill music, get your breathing under control (probably greatly benefited by having a cardiovascular workout capacity that significantly exceeds the demands of your resistance workout), and focus solely on your breath and interoception like a meditation, then blast the exciting workout music and hit the next set.
