Breathing before movement — why I switched the order

For a year I did it the other way round: move first, then breathe. It worked, but the first five minutes always felt like arguing with my body.

Switching the order changed that. Four minutes of slow breathing before anything else, and the movement afterwards costs nothing.

Curious whether that holds for anyone else, or whether it is just how I am built.

    Ich habe es heute umgedreht und war ehrlich überrascht. Vier Minuten, und der Rest ging von allein.

    It holds for more people than you would think. Breathing first tells the nervous system what kind of morning this is going to be — the movement then meets a body that has already agreed.
