Airofit Wellness

Calling out all singles!🙋🏼‍♂️

Right after Valentine’s Day, today we’d like to remind you to take care of the most important person in your life: You! Remember to make the right choices that will keep you healthy and strong, so that you can continue enjoying the best moments in life. 👊

Training your breathing can be the perfect way of giving yourself some self-love. It means taking 5-10 minutes a day where you focus exclusively on yourself, 5-10 minutes that will get you to an improved overall wellbeing. On top of that, Respiratory Muscle Training can help you attain all your goals by boosting your energy levels, improving your sleep quality and making your workouts feel easier. Essentially, taking those few minutes a day to train your respiratory muscles can represent making yourself your first priority!👏

Comment down below, how are you taking care of yourself today?👇

What’s the difference between a routine and a habit? 🧐

A habit is a behaviour that you repeat automatically, without thinking much about it. It’s what happens when you wake up in the morning and immediately go for a glass of water or take your phone to check your instagram account. 😉

Opposed to habits, routines and rituals are followed in a conscious manner. While routines are sequences of actions that you follow in order to be productive, rituals are accompanied by meaningful intentions. A routine, for instance, is to wake up at 6 a.m. and a ritual would be waking up at 6 a.m. by repeating a positive affirmation. ☀️

With discipline, routines and rituals can turn into habits. However, you must work on it! 💪

So, if this year, you are trying to work on your overall health, it is a good idea to include healthy routines and rituals to your schedule. Think about, for example, setting your alarm 5 minutes earlier to train your breathing or to train your respiratory muscles during a work break. We can assure you that with time, you won’t even think about it and it will guide you through a healthier lifestyle 🧘

Breaking bad habits is as important as creating new ones….😉

Still, it’s often challenging to break that part of your routine that has been harming your health for such a long time. However, neuroscience has proven there are a few things you can do to get rid of it.🧘

Swipe right to find out what you can do to stick to your 2022 resolutions and get rid of that harmful behavior!💪

It takes repetition, patience and some time to create a new healthy habit. So, we know it can be difficult to include Respiratory Muscle Training (RMT) to your daily routine.🧘

This is why we’d recommend you to focus on three simple steps that can make RMT part of your new, healthier lifestyle!🏃🏼‍♀️

Don't train while exercising! 🤔

We know it sounds paradoxical but, unlike other breath training methods, we do not recommend you to train with Airofit while you're working out. The reason behind this is that when you train your respiratory muscles with us, you are already adding resistance to your lungs. Adding physical activity would be detrimental to both your oxygen availability and to both your respiratory training session and your other workout session. In essence, it would be very inefficient! 👎

So remember to set aside a few minutes of your day to sit down, relax, train your breathing and Stay A Breath Ahead!

Avoid these three common mistakes when you're training with us! ✋

1. Nose breathing: Although we recommend you to be a nose breather most of the time, remember that mouth breathing is a more efficient way of training your respiratory muscles. 😮‍💨

2. Don't train for too long: We know you must be consistent, but in RMT, more is not better! Overtraining your respiratory muscles can lead to muscle fatigue and cause the opposite effect to what you're seeking. 🥵

3. Wrong position: Remember to sit comfortably and avoid other physical activities when you're training with Airofit. Choose a place where you can simply focus on breathing and be as relaxed as possible. 🧘🏻‍♀️

Reminder: Don’t forget to warm up! 🏋️‍♀️

We know that moving our bodies in any way we can is one step forward to reaching our health goals for 2022!

But, if you’re trying to get back on track or if you’re a beginner, it is very important to start by warming up your muscles to prevent injuries. In addition to this, a proper warm-up will ensure that you get a good workout session😉.

This is where Respiratory Muscle Training comes in handy! Controlled breathing exercises can get your heart rate up and be the perfect start to a great workout. What's more, if you're a beginner or are unable to move other parts of your body, RMT can even turn into a full exercise routine 🧘.

So, remember to check out our app and choose the right program to take you one step closer to your goals!

A great time to value ratio...⏳

Did you know that in 2021, an Airofitter trained, on average, 2:45 hours?🤔

But hold on ✋...that was throughout the whole year!😉

This means that it might only take a small portion of your time (5-10 minutes a day) to feel all the benefits that Respiratory Muscle Training (RMT) can get you.

A big shoutout to all our Airofitters, who combined, trained a total of 6 490 666 minutes and were able to experience how RMT helped them Stay A Breath Ahead!

2022, Week 2. 👊

How are you working on your health goals today?

If 2021 taught us a lesson is that we need to prioritise our health. Why not starting by getting our lungs stronger than ever? 💪

We're keeping you accountable! So remember to take a few minutes a day to train your breathing to stay healthy, active and one breath ahead!

We understand, you want to see results as soon as possible. But, as with any other type of workout, when you start training your respiratory muscles, you must choose a level that feels right for you. Eventually, you can progressively add resistance and include more minutes in your training.🏋️‍♀️

Yet, remember that RMT shouldn’t take more than 12 minutes of your day. You can start, for instance, with two (or even just one) 5-minute sessions a day. We have seen how training for too long can actually be counterproductive and prevent you from getting the results you seek! ✋

So, instead, focus on accurately following our guided exercises and on controlling every breath. In that way, you’ll achieve your goals sooner than you think!😉

How’s the first week of 2022 going so far? 🙂

Remember to consistently work on your goals, that is key. But, we understand that life gets in the way sometimes and if you only have a couple of minutes for yourself today, there’s one thing you can do: train your breathing!🧘

Only 5-12 minutes of breath training a day can help you work on both your physical and mental wellbeing. So, use your time wisely, stay consistent and you will always Stay A Breath Ahead 💪

Have you tried our Concentration Breathing Session? 🧘

Based on a square breathing pattern, this session will help you focus and relax, so that you can achieve anything you set your mind to 😉
