Transcript

00:00Did you know the secret to easier, more enjoyable jogging isn't your shoes?

00:05It's your breathing. Today, I'll show you simple techniques that can make every run

00:11feel lighter, calmer, and more joyful, especially for mature runners.

00:16When we don't breathe efficiently, our body struggles to get oxygen.

00:22This leads to fatigue and muscle tension. But once you learn to control your breath,

00:28your jog turns into a peaceful rhythm, not a battle.

00:32Try this. Place one hand on your belly. As you breathe in through your nose, feel your hand rise.

00:41As you exhale through your mouth, feel it fall. This is called diaphragmatic breathing.

00:48It helps your lungs work naturally and reduces stress on your heart.

00:53Use a steady pattern. Inhale for three steps, exhale for two.

00:58This keeps oxygen flowing while keeping your pace smooth.

01:04Don't worry about perfection, just find the rhythm that feels natural.

01:09Tension blocks airflow.

01:12Gently drop your shoulders, soften your jaw, and let your arms swing loosely.

01:16The more relaxed your body, the easier your breathing becomes.

01:22In cold weather, breathe through your nose to warm the air.

01:27In warm weather, open your mouth slightly to release heat.

01:32Small adjustments make a big difference in comfort and stamina.

01:36Each breath can anchor you to the present.

01:40Try noticing the air as it enters and leaves your body.

01:44Running becomes a moving meditation, calming your mind as much as strengthening your body.
