How to improve your breathing in boxing?
In boxing, controlling your breathing is very important because it is what allows a better recovery during the minutes of rest but also to hold out during the fight.
Breathing and cardio are obviously linked. To have a good breathing capacity, you need to work your cardio.
But even with good cardio, there are ways to conserve energy and control your breathing.
- P In your minute of rest focus on your breathing to the max.
It seems logical, but during the minute of rest we tend to lose focus and relax. You have to stay focused on the fight and on your breathing.
- For better recovery , your breathing should be very deep. A deep breath will give you more oxygen and will be more beneficial than short, quick breaths.
This advice is valid in combat as in training. You need to take a deep breath and stay relaxed.
- Don't stay static! Stay on the move to recover.
When you are tired, you instinctively tend to stop moving, while you shouldn't be completely still.
It is not a question of not recovering, but simply of not standing still in order to recover better.
- Relax, be relaxed. This will facilitate your recovery.
This is basic advice, without which everything else is not valid. If you are tense, you will not be able to recover effectively.
- Don't drink water right away. First take the time to breathe.
These little tips will help you get the most out of your recovery. You will be much more enduring.
These tips, put end by end, form an essential whole for your recovery.
