The 5-STEPBreathing Rhythm

When walking, running or any activity that explosive force is required, one of the great advantages of the 3-STEP breathing cycle is the power you can generate on your OUT-breath.

This is why it’s easier to harness a higher level response from the body (e.g. walking up steep inclines is easier; carrying heavy loads, pushing big weights etc.).

For times when power and high performance aren’t as necessary (e.g. like a leisurely stroll or walking up stairs), the introduction of the 5-STEP breathing rhythm will not only maintain your breathing-body-balance with regard to the alternating IN-breath and OUT-breath, it will also add a greater ratio of oxygen you can make available to your body.

Looking at the timing

When using the 5-STEP breathing rhythm, the way we approach the technique remains the same as the 3-STEP rhythm, except this time your IN-breath is maintained over three steps and your OUT-breath over two steps.

Again, understand that each individual step you take as you walk or run, either equates to an IN-breath or an OUT-breath.

So using the 5-STEP rhythm…

The first step you take is an IN-breath.
The second step you take is an IN-breath.
The third step you take is an IN-breath.
The fourth step you take is an OUT-breath.
The fifth step you take is an OUT-breath.

How this works in a walking action

For this example, i’ll show you over two breathing cycles or TEN STEPS in total.

So if you’re sitting, consider standing up and make the writing on your screen bigger so you can give yourself some space to move. The best way for you to see this is for you to be walking on the spot.

The best starting position for walking on the spot is to lift one knee up and at the same time pull the same side elbow back and the opposite arm forward as you start your breath in.

Then continue as you push the arm that was pulled back forward, and as you lower your raised leg at the same time start lifting the opposite leg and pull the opposite arm back.

Repeat the process and you’re walking on the spot.

Starting your 1st breathing cycle with the RIGHT leg leading:

As your right leg moves forward (1st step) you start your IN-breath
As your left leg moves forward (2nd step) you’re still breathing in
As your right leg moves forward again (3rd step) you finish your IN-breath
As your left leg moves forward (4th step) you start your OUT-breath
As your right leg moves forward (5th step) you finish your OUT-breath when your right foot lands on the earth

Continuing your 2nd breathing cycle on the LEFT leg:

As your left leg moves forward (6th step) you start your IN-breath
As your right leg moves forward (7th step) you’re still breathing in
As your left leg moves forward again (8th step) you finish your IN-breath
As your right leg moves forward (9th step) you start your OUT-breath
As your left leg moves forward (10th step) you finish your OUT-breath when your right foot lands on the earth

The little breath tip

To help fill your lungs with air gradually, the little breath bigger breath technique works a treat.

Using the 5-STEP, with your IN-breath’s think…

1st IN-breath little breath
2nd IN-breath big breath
3rd IN-breath biggest breath

and then when your exhalation (the OUT-breath) begins think…

1st OUT-breath little breath out
2nd OUT-breath being the biggest breath out

This way you’ll be able to fully maximise both your upper and lower lung as more conscious thought will be placed upon activating your diaphragm.

As always, if you have any questions, let me know!

Wishing you all the best,
