Proper Breathing During Strength Training Proper breathing during lifting is crucial for efficient, safe, and effective movement. Basic breathing guideline: * Inhale during the eccentric phase — breathe in as you lower the weight or lengthen the working muscle. * Exhale during the concentric phase — breathe out as you lift the weight or shorten the working muscle. Think: “Inhale to lower, exhale to lift.” Maintaining a rhythmic breathing pattern throughout your set can help control your pace, conserve energy, maintain focus, and support proper technique. Breathe through your nose and out through your mouth when appropriate. Nasal breathing can help regulate breathing and promote control, while exhaling through the mouth can make it easier to release air during exertion. Engage and brace your core to help stabilize your spine and create a strong foundation for movement. Avoid unnecessarily holding your breath, particularly if you are new to strength training or have a cardiovascular or vascular condition. If you’re new to fitness—or your breathing pattern isn’t yet consistent—start with lighter weights. Practice coordinating your breathing with the movement and learn how to brace your core before progressing to heavier loads. Remember: Don’t rush the movement, don’t hold your breath, and don’t sacrifice your breathing for the weight. By practicing proper breathing and bracing, you can support safer lifting, maintain better form, improve control, and get more out of every repetition. #breath #liftingcare #avoidvalsalvamaneuver #inhale #exhale

🍂 FALL INTO FITNESS 🍂 Embrace the season. Move with intention. Find your balance. September 22 • 5:04 PM — The Autumn Equinox As the world around us begins to change, so do we. The days become shorter. The air becomes cooler. Leaves begin to let go. And with the changing season often comes change in our own lives — new routines, new responsibilities, more events, more activities, and a calendar that seems to fill up a little faster. This fall, let’s remember that our health and wellness deserve a place on that calendar, too. 🧡 Movement doesn’t have to mean pushing harder. Sometimes wellness means slowing down, taking a breath, stretching, strengthening, resting, or simply showing up for yourself. 🍁 Embrace the change. 🍁 Move through the transition. 🍁 Make space for yourself. 🍁 Keep your well-being a priority. Whether you’re looking to build strength, move your body, find your breath, release tension, or simply connect with community — there’s a place for you here. This fall, don’t just fall into a busy routine. Fall into fitness. Fall into movement. Fall into balance. 🧘‍♀️🏋️‍♀️🍂 Move. Build. Breathe.

START WITH WHY. 🧡 Why do you show up for physical activity? Why do you choose a fitness class? Why step onto your yoga mat? Because the benefits go far beyond the workout. Movement builds strength, energy, resilience and confidence. Yoga creates space to breathe, reset and reconnect. Fitness supports our physical and mental well-being. And showing up consistently creates something even more powerful: COMMUNITY. When we move together, we connect. When we connect, we create belonging. And when we create belonging, we build a healthier campus — together. Your why might be to feel stronger. To manage stress. To improve your health. To challenge yourself. To find balance. Or simply to meet people and feel connected. Whatever your reason, your participation matters. TODAY, FIND YOUR WHY. 🕦 11:40 AM — Rhythm Rush (Zumba) 🕧 12:40 PM — Strength, Stretch & Serenity 🕟 4:30 PM — Strength Lab 🕠 5:30 PM — Power Playground Come for the workout. Stay for the energy. Leave feeling connected. Because a healthy university isn’t built by one person, one class or one workout. It’s built one movement, one connection and one community at a time. Start with your WHY. Show up for yourself. Move with your community. Build a healthier campus together. Movement meets community 🧡 #why #movement #community #zumba #strength
