Most people never think about breathing during training.
But your breath can literally change your performance.
Humming for 10 to 15 seconds before a set has been shown to raise nitric oxide levels in the nasal passages up to 15x. That means your airways open more and your body delivers oxygen more efficiently. More oxygen to muscles. More oxygen to your brain. Better strength, better focus, better pump.
This is not hype. It is physiology.
Try this before your next heavy set or high-rep finisher and pay attention to how much smoother your breathing feels.
Simple technique. Real improvement.
Tag a training partner who should try this too.

Lifting heavy? Start with a Cat Cow. This underrated spinal mobility move is a great stretch that helps prepare your body for strength work.
Here’s why every lifter should be doing cat cows:
🔷 Mobilizes the spine
🔷 Activates your core
🔷 Preps your body for squats, deadlifts, and overhead workouts
🔷 Helps prevent back strain
Start slow, breathe through each rep and move with intention.
🏋️♂️ Strength starts with mobility and Fitbod helps you build BOTH.

If you’re finishing your sets with energy to spare, not seeing progress, or breezing through your reps, it could be time to increase your sets. 🏋️♀️
Here’s your quick check-in:
▶️ Your muscles are no longer sore
▶️ You’re not feeling challenged
▶️ You’ve hit a training plateau
Every time you log an exercise, Fitbod prompts you to rate your Reps In Reserve (RIR). This helps inform future workouts, for sustained progress.
‼️ Safety tip - Always make sure your form remains solid and recovery is a priority. Listen to your body. Train smarter. Get stronger.

Focus on compound movements like squats, deadlifts, and bench press to build a strong foundation. Incorporate isolation exercises to target specific muscle groups. #StrengthTrainingTips
