Have A Coffee Break Before You Break A Sweat
According to researchers from Indiana University at Bloomington, “a pre-workout caffeine jolt reduces the severity of exercise-induced asthma symptoms." They say having “2 cups of coffee an hour before a run was as effective as an inhaler at opening sufferers’ airways.” (Source from Self Magazine). I’m not much of a coffee drinker, but maybe I should give it a try since I usually tend to run out of breath so quickly whenever I go running or swimming.
Do you usually drink coffee before or after your workout? Do you know of any other good breathing techniques, or other ways that can help improve your breathing?
