360 Breathing helps you learn how to use your diaphragm and deep core muscles to create strong, even pressure around the entire trunk. Instead of lifting your shoulders or expanding only your chest, you work on breathing into the belly, sides, and low back to build better stability for lifting, running, and daily movement.

This technique reduces unnecessary stress in the neck and lower back and supports a more stable core during squats, deadlifts, planks, and overhead work. It is also a great way to reset your breathing if you feel tight or anxious.

How to do it:
Place your hands around your lower ribs. Inhale through your nose and gently push your breath into your hands, belly, and back without shrugging your shoulders. Exhale slowly while keeping your core lightly engaged. Practice patience and control.

Benefits of 360 Breathing:

Improves deep core activation
Supports spine stability during lifting
Reduces neck and low back tension
Enhances athletic performance and endurance
Builds a calmer and more efficient breathing pattern

When to Use 360 Breathing:
