      When men exercise, they always hope to perform at their best and experience that hearty peak state. Among them, exercise posture plays a key role. Different postures have different effects, and combined with reasonable breathing methods, exercise can get twice the result with half the effort. Next, I will give you a detailed introduction to the sports postures and breathing coordination techniques that can help men reach their peak state.

    push-up position

      Key points of standard posture: Put your hands on the ground, slightly wider than shoulder width, point your fingers forward, keep your body in a straight line, and form a horizontal straight line from your head to your ankles. Do not slump your waist or stick out your buttocks. During the descent, bend your elbows, slowly approach the ground, keep your chest as close to the ground as possible, and then push up again. This posture can comprehensively exercise Chest muscles, triceps brachii and anterior deltoid muscles.

      Breathing: Inhale as you descend, filling your belly with air and feeling your belly expand like a balloon; Exhale when holding up, and try to exhale the air in the lungs. This can enhance the stability of the abdomen and core strength, and improve exercise efficiency.

    squat position

      Correct movement specifications: feet should be shoulder-width apart or slightly wider than shoulders, toes should be slightly turned outwards, back should be straight, and no hunching over should be allowed. When squatting, your knees should not go past your toes and your hips should be sitting back, as if you were sitting on a chair behind you, until your thighs are parallel to the ground or slightly below. This posture mainly exercises the quadriceps muscles on the front of the thigh and the quadriceps on the back.
