lol I was recording and thinking "Jesus I hope this mic doesn't pick up the birds because they are out of control right now" but I agree. They were a nice addition to the video :-)
I didn't know there was a correct way to breath until my physical therapist talked to me about it in March. He has me doing exercises and at first it was challenging but getting better slowly. 🙂 thank you for this video it helps so so much. ❤
So so awesome to see you being a mom soon, you going to be great, God bless !! And what a good way to remind us to breath deeper I notice the older I get the more shallow it becomes, unless early morning the freshness of air hits, than I want to take those deep breaths, we so need that oxygen for our whole body including 👶, thank you
I learned this in yoga teacher training! It was seriously something I didn’t think much about before when I was just lifting. Thank you for this video, I’m always looking to learn new things 🙂
I would love for you to demo how to implement this breathing techniques during lifts such as squats and deadlifts. I cant wait for your pregnancy program!
How long before this whole pelvic floor series becomes viral? It can and will make a world of difference in pregnancy, and to be honest would be beneficial to damn 8billion folks at some point in their lives.
Loved this video, currently 19 weeks myself and I want to make sure I'm not only breathing better but helping strengthen all the core muscles as baby grows and for postpartum. Thank you for starting this series! Would love to see you explain more about how to strengthen the pelvic floor for mamas to be and ladies in general!
The diaphragmatic breathing piece is the base from which all core strength can build on! Those 20,000 reps of TVA, multifidus, and pelvic floor activation (even though they're really light and not a true 'exercise) will set you up for success! My next video will go over pelvic floor a little more in depth!
Thanks so much for discussing this! It’s extremely important, whether pregnant or not!! Not pregnant, yet have found diaphragmatic breathing super important w the mind/muscle connection 🙌🙌
Currently 16 weeks pregnant with twins and boy do I struggle with breathing 🥴 this isn't my first pregnancy and I have been working out before conceiving this time around but I feel like doing this along side with you has helped me to understand better.. Can't wait for part 2+3💪🏻👍🏻
Thank you for highlighting this highly important practice. There are many benefits to nasal breathing as well, including the effect on the nervous system and the increased nitric oxide production, which can regulate blood pressure and boost the immune system. Worth looking into implementing as well. A lot of great research out there.
This is super helpful I am working on a program from BRB yoga, Katherine Middleton And she talks about this breathing. But I don’t get the weight lifting perspective which is what I’ve been struggling with my baby is turning 10 this year and I’m still fighting with pelvic weakness that should help continue my improvements there. Can’t wait for the next two videos
You look beautiful 😍😘 correct breathing did help me soooo much during my pregnancy and during birth...thank god for powerlifting 😅🧡another reason why should women do strength training.
Looking forward to part two... by the way congratulations🤗 been seeing you off and on for a few years. I like the form in your squat. I think this breathing technique will help me ....if I can master it. Hope you and yours are well ❤️
I was born with only one lung and I've been struggling so hard with weighlifting solely because I get out of breath before my muscles get tired😅 I'm gonna try this during my workout today and see if it helps!!
I'm new to your channel. Congratulations on your pregnancy. Thank you for sharing and providing valuable information. This video was quite educational. I now have more empathy for the full spectrum of the human experience. Cheers!
Thank you for continuing to contribute in a meaningful way to our strong strong community! I do want to point out though that the g in Diaphragmatic is silent. I hope I said that with respect and care. Because I have so much respect and love for you, Meg! ... edit: on second though, I'm not sure you're aware you're doing it. I'm sorry for my rudeness!
lol after I recorded this I looked it up to make sure, and physical therapists say it both ways. Diaphragm is silent, but many people pronounce the 'g' in 'diaphragmatic. If you look up 'Diaphragmatic' in Google, the spoken example pronounces the G! I've heard it both ways, but now I want to pronounce 'diapgragm' with a hard G LOL!!
Hello Madam .Very valuable video. I have straight upper back.,forward head posture. When I inhale my abdomen goes in and when I exhale my abdomen moves out. Also my shoulder moves in forward direction when I inhale . As a result I am not able to breathe. Could you please help me in fixing it
Hi Meg! 21 weeks pregnant here, I was just diagnosed with an asymptomatic umbilical hernia. I weight train regularly with dumbbells for squats and lunges plus upper body. Barbell for hip thrusts and sumo squats. Do you know whether I need to stop these immediately? If so, what can I do strength wise to keep strong strong? Can umbilical hernias be treat or disappear during pregnancy?
I notice you’re breathing in and out of your mouth- I’ve been researching lately about the importance of specifically breathing IN through the NOSE. Is this something special you’re doing/does it help with the pregnancy aspect?! Thanks!
Hey i have this question that has been bothering me for a long time, i hope you or anybody can answer this. It really helps me alot.. so like do we squeeze our abs the whole entire time when we are lifting weights other than those normal ab or leg exercise? Or do we just breathe normally without contracting the abs aka contracting the core..?
There's also less room to breathe even when not pregnant if you have more abdominal fat than you need (yes, we do need some, that's our emergency energy storage).
I think if you are anyone who breathes it will def help! Some of the pelvic floor work (seen in future videos in this series) won't be applicable - but men have pelvic floors as well, so why not try

Thank you so much for this video!!!!
Me after watching 1 hour long videos on CZcams... 10 minutes is long? Huh? Love the vid btw. Breathing is super important
I figured out that if I lie on my back I can finally feel the breath in my back! Breathing pushes against the floor.
Hello Madam .Very valuable video.
I have straight upper back.,forward head posture. When I inhale my abdomen goes in and when I exhale my abdomen moves out. Also my shoulder moves in forward direction when I inhale . As a result I am not able to breathe. Could you please help me in fixing it
I loved this video I’ve been looking for tips
🔥landed, hiii spirit, thanks for the shine🔥⚡⚡
Did you consume a lot of eggs and protein prior to pregnancy? would you say eggs do affect fertility? well in your personal experience
Thank you so much for this series 💞 I'm finding it so very helpful. Currently 19 weeks. Where is your sports bra from?
I have been getting hiccups and hip pain so thing fierce. Could this be linked to pelvic floor support?
Hi Meg! 21 weeks pregnant here, I was just diagnosed with an asymptomatic umbilical hernia. I weight train regularly with dumbbells for squats and lunges plus upper body. Barbell for hip thrusts and sumo squats.
Do you know whether I need to stop these immediately? If so, what can I do strength wise to keep strong strong? Can umbilical hernias be treat or disappear during pregnancy?
can you show how to calm heavy breathing down after intense workout? by doing workout first?
I notice you’re breathing in and out of your mouth- I’ve been researching lately about the importance of specifically breathing IN through the NOSE. Is this something special you’re doing/does it help with the pregnancy aspect?! Thanks!

You look so pretty! I still don’t understand this breathing but I think I’m over thinking it !
Do you inhale through your mouth?
Helpful, but also weirdly soothing, hah :D
❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
This is the ED content that men are looking for but it's hard to find because of the stupid algorithm
Can men benefit from this
I think if you are anyone who breathes it will def help! Some of the pelvic floor work (seen in future videos in this series) won't be applicable - but men have pelvic floors as well, so why not try
