  • Deep Yogic Breaths: Deep yogic breathing technique will maximize the capacity of your lungs and help your posture as well. Simply breathe through your nostrils rather than your mouth. Breathing through nostrils is effective at transporting oxygen as compared to the mouth breathing. Take deep breath, sending it to your belly so that the abdomen expands. The abdomen should expand so much that the diaphragm and intercostals muscles should also move.
  • Pranayam (Alternate nostril breathing): First breathe through one nostril while closing the other one with your finger and then release the breath through the other one, while holding the one through which you inhaled. Complete the sets of alternate breathing. Around 50 sets are sufficient.
  • Ardh Matsyendrasana (Sitting half spinal twist): The sitting half spinal twist will open up your chest and lungs. You could feel the air gushing into your lungs. This will increase the supply of oxygen to your lungs and this will reduce the probability of breaking down while cycling for longer hours.
  • Setu Bandhasana (Bridge pose): The bridge pose is extremely helpful in opening up your lungs and chest cavity. It is very effective for asthma patients or those who encounter breathing problems. This easy posture can be vital for your cycling performance and will make you sustain for longer time without taking frequent breaks for rest.
  1. Performance Breathing: Specifically designed for cycling, this breathing technique will increase your endurance and cycling time. It increases the utilization of oxygen by our lungs thereby opening up our lungs and increasing their capacity. The technique is performed by following a “2,2,4” count. Each breath cycle involves two counts, holding your breath on a count of two, and then releasing it on count of four. As you start, you will follow this count. As soon as you get accustomed to it, you can increase this to “4,4,8” and then to “5,5,10”.

“Never run out of air again.”

  3. A short while ago experienced this exchange to trade my Bitcoin into Tether USD TRC-20.
    To be honest, it worked flawlessly. I couldn’t believe how instant the confirmation came.

    Before this trade, I also used Litecoin to Bitcoin pairs through this exchange.
    Every trade went through without any issues.

    I really like the transparent rate system. Zero hidden costs — everything
    was clear and fair.
    The trading panel is clean, and even a first-timer could manage the transaction without help.
    Additionally, the security level felt reliable. They respected privacy, but still
    the process remained safe.
    What I didn’t like was the slight delay in support response.
    It’s not a huge problem, but faster replies would make the experience even better.

    Overall though, I received my funds properly. everything reflected correctly on my wallet.

    Due to my great experience, I definitely recommend anyone to check out
    this platform and read the big article about how to trade Bitcoin to USD TRC-20.

    For those planning in exchanging between different
    coins, this exchange will save you a lot of time.
    It supports over five major crypto pairs.

    All in all, my overall impression was satisfying.
    Speed, transparency, and convenience are the key strengths.
    It’s now my go-to exchange for my future crypto conversions.
    Don’t miss out! Learn more on their official blog — it’s totally worth reading.
