Your heart rate already rises and falls with every breath. 🫁

That link runs through the vagus nerve, which helps the body slow down and settle. Your breath is one of the few ways to influence it on purpose.

Two ways to practice:
1️⃣ Seated reset: nose only, 4 in, 6 out, for 2 minutes
2️⃣ Easy cardio with nasal breathing only. Slow the breath and lengthen the exhale when heart rate climbs.

If you feel lightheaded, stop. If you have a heart or lung condition, check with a qualified clinician first.

Save this for your next session. Which one will you try first? 👇

How long can you hold? ⏱️

3 balance tests, both sides:
1️⃣ Eyes open

2️⃣ Eyes closed

3️⃣ Head turns

Stand next to a wall, stop at 30 seconds, and write your times on the scorecard. Compare left to right, then retest in a week.

Skip the eyes-closed test if you feel unsteady. This is a self-check, not a medical test. If you feel dizzy, fall, or are unsteady often, see a qualified clinician.

Post your times in the comments and save this for your retest. Which one was hardest? 👇

Your eyes work at one distance all day. Give them a reset. 🖥️👀

1️⃣ Far, then near. Switch focus a few times.
2️⃣ infinity symbol with your eyes. Head still.
3️⃣ Notice the edges of your vision.

About 30 seconds. Set a timer and do it once an hour.

If anything makes you dizzy or uncomfortable, stop. If eye strain keeps coming back, see an eye care professional.

Save this for your next work day. How many hours a day are you on a screen? 👇

You use these 7 cranial nerves every time you train. 🧠

II Optic: vision
III Oculomotor: eye movement and near focus
IV + VI: steering where the eyes point
VIII Vestibulocochlear: balance and head motion
X Vagus: heart, lungs and recovery
XI Accessory: head turns and shoulders

Swipe for what each one does and a drill that goes with it.

Save this for your next warm-up. Which one do you want a full breakdown of? 👇

This is education only, not medical advice. If you have symptoms that persist, see a qualified clinician.

Eyes on the dot. No peeking. 👀

How many of the 24 can you read without moving your eyes?

Hold the phone at a comfortable distance, keep your eyes still, and count. Drop your score in the comments. 👇

Save this and retest in a week. The numbers on the outside rings are the ones to watch.

This is a quick self-check, not a medical test. If something looks off to you, mention it to an eye care professional.

Your breath doesn’t have to chase your heart rate. 🏃‍♂️

Nose-only running is how I practice separating the two: my heart rate rises, and I keep my breathing slow and chosen instead of reactive.

Try it on an easy run this week. Slow down as much as you need to. If you feel lightheaded or unwell, stop and take a break.

Save this for your next run. Do you breathe through your nose when you run? 👇

Your eyes are part of your warm-up. 👀

5 drills to run before you lift, 30 seconds each:

1️⃣ Smooth pursuits

2️⃣ Saccades

3️⃣ Near/far focus

4️⃣ Peripheral awareness

5️⃣ Head turns with your eyes locked on a target

Pick two and try them before your next session. Notice how your focus and movement feel.

If anything makes you dizzy or nauseous, stop and check in with a qualified clinician.

Save this for your next training day. 🧠
Which one are you trying first? 👇

Here is a simple vision exercise to try out. First assess your neck then do 3 reps each way, and after reassess your neck. If it got better then it’s a great exercise for your nervous system. Add it to your routine.
