As seen on BICYCLING Magazine online, October 2018

While not something most athletes think about, breathing techniques can significantly boost or harm our performance, especially on the road bike and tt bike / tri bike. Do it right, and you're maximizing the use of the muscles that help us breathe, allowing you to get the most oxygen in. Neglect it, and it can lead to frustratingly poor performances.
In this video Human Vortex Training coach & USA Cycling Expert coach Menachem Brodie teaches you the baseline breathing drill that all athletes should master:
Crocodile breathing
Why is it called Crocodile breathing?
Because when done properly, your stomach will look just like a big old crocodile's does, as he hangs out on the shores of his favorite waterway.
This "simple" drill helps cyclists and triathletes learn the basic skill of how to BREATHE on the bike properly- something very few riders even think about as they look to progress their fitness and riding abilities.
Coach Brodie is a world leader in strength training for cycling & triathlon success, and has over 9 years experience of helping Endurance athletes to use Strength Training to significantly boost their performances, and decrease or resolve pain on the bike.

The difference this has made to my HR on the bike is crazy!

Nothing better than cycling out where the air quality is amazing, then doing some proper deep yogic breathing techniques.
