Hey folks, it's Ben Greenfield and today we are going to talk about breathing, breathing

during exercise and how it relates to you getting into something called the zone.

And the reason that we're going to talk about this is because I've personally been experimenting

a lot with the way that I breathe while I'm running, while I'm riding my bike, while

I'm lifting weights, while I'm sitting or standing at work, and even before I go to bed

at night.

And I've found that it's really, really affected my well-being and my performance.

And I've kind of delved into a few different books on the topic and have spoken to a few

people about what I've been doing in one athlete that I was talking to at a recent conference

as I was at, asked me if I've ever heard of this guy named John Dooyard, and I hadn't.

And this athlete directed me to a book that John wrote.

It's called Body, Mind, and Sport, the Mind, Body, Guide to Life, Long, Help, Fitness,

and Your Personal Best.

And this book kind of delves into what we're going to talk about today.

And of course I'll link to the book in the show notes.

And it's chock full of some really cool concepts about how to breathe the right way.

And it really delves into some other kind of interesting things I want to get into, like

body typing and kind of knowing how to exercise and how to breathe based on your body type

and exercising your mind with your body and some really cool stuff.

So John Dooyard is right here on the call with me and John, welcome.

Great to be here, Ben.

Thank you.
