Absolutely Not
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.
