I have received several emails this week on the subject of deep breathing in cold temperatures.

 When I say cold temperatures I mean any thing below 45 degrees. It is very important that you let your incoming breath reach body temperature.

 The breathing you practice in the “Megachest” is extreme and you are forcing air into the deepest unused areas of your lungs.

 Another thing to consider while practicing your breathing exercises is the cleanliness of the air you are breathing. I am not saying you should put on a dust mask but I am suggesting that you not workout in dirty air.

 Should you power walk in freezing weather?   Absolutely not!!!

 The extreme deep breathing that you use in this exercise exposes your lungs to cold temperatures. The only way I would suggest you power walk outside is to wrap your face in a loose fitting scarf.

I have tried this and find I do not get enough air but then again I am at seven thousand feet in elevation.

 On another note the festivities are nearing an end, it’s time to get back after it. For those of you that did not take time off; shorten your rest time, increase your reps.

 For those of you who are out of shape here is your New Year’s resolution: Buy “MEGACHEST” now and bring the new year in pounds lighter and pick up a six-pack along the way.

 Master Your Destiny.

We at Rhinoman Products receive a lot of mail from past customers as well as those interested in possibly purchasing our product. This business is incredibly rewarding because of the variety of people with whom we interact. 

Some of you are just getting into the fitness world, whereas others are razor trained martial artists. Here are some of the questions I have received and the answers I gave.

Q. Sometimes while doing my power-walking workout I find that I want to stop and rest                                                          while other times doing the same exercise I seem to breeze through.  Why? 

A. As you continue to train you will notice less ebbs and flows in your body’s endurance. Remember how I told you to       practice the breathing exercise on page 53 exercise # 28 of the “Megachest” program for at least one week before starting the hill? 

 I want you to build your internal endurance; you need to focus on your breathing as well as your stride. Focused breathing is most likely more foreign to you than walking, that’s why you need to learn this breathing technique and have it down before you begin hill training. After training in this fashion for about a month you will be blown away by your increased energy level and stamina. Stay with it. 

Q. It used to be that I hardly had the energy to accomplish my daily tasks. I was 68 pounds overweight and my life was a series of bouts with depression and fruitless goal setting. Bringing up those memories makes me cry, I can hardly believe I wasted my life away like that. I had to make a change, my brother has a friend that takes karate and is also a customer of yours, he suggested I visit your web site, I did: Life Change!!! 

Well here is my question to you Rhinoman. I have been a strict student of yours for seven months now, I have lost 57 pounds and have more energy than I ever could have imagined.  I have something else in my life because of you, I am crying again, I have a Boyfriend!!

 Finally my question, I find that I now have trouble sleeping. I usually work out in the evening and eat a very light meal after my workout. Should I not eat after I workout? Do you have any suggestions? 

A. Working out too close to your bedtime and especially the combination of breathing and bodyweight exercise elevates your energy level even when you are physically fatigued. I don’t see how eating a very light meal would keep you awake.

Your new boyfriend probably isn’t helping much.

 See what I mean, everyone has a story to tell. The more questions we receive the better product we can deliver. Send your stories, you never know you might see it in the next edition of ‘The Mailbox’.
