  • 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”.

  5. Салют всем! Буквально недавно продумывал отдых по Испании и заметил, как много замечательных мест здесь можно открыть: от прибрежной зоны моря в Коста Дорада и прибрежных зон Майорки до кратера Тейде на Тенерифе и исторического Королевского дворца в Мадриде. В частности поражает Путь Святого Иакова (Camino de Santiago) — превосходный возможность комбинировать горные походы с изучением в историю и архитектуру страны. Если интересно, тщательно о маршрутах и городах Испании можно ознакомиться здесь [url=https://spanishinspain.ru/]саграда де фамилия[/url] .

    Более того стоит выделить, что Канарские острова – это самостоятельный компактный мир с неповторимой экосистемой, где можно увидеть Ла Пальма с настоящим вулканом и порадоваться пляжами Фуэртевентуры и Гран-Канарии. Для почитателей городов предлагаю Загаросу, Севилью, Барселону с её известным собором Саграда Фамилия и Домом Мила. И не игнорируйте про испанское море – нежное и гостеприимное, и такие туристические зоны, как Аликанте и Бенидорм, замечательно годятся для отдыха.
