The diaphragm.

This dome-shaped muscle sits just below your lungs 🫁 And it never gets a day off 💤
Here is how it works:
Inhale / Breath in = the diaphragm contracts and flattens downward, allowing your chest cavity to expand and air to fill the lungs.
Exhale / Breath out = the diaphragm relaxes and rises, shrinking the chest cavity and pushing air out of the lungs

No pump, no motor. Just a muscle doing its job 20 000 times a day 👌🏽

The Alveoli = 300 million tiny miracles ✨️

You can't see them, but right now they are keeping you alive.
The alveoli are microscopic air sacs at the end of every airway in your lungs. Here is what makes them extraordinary:
- you have approximately 300 million of them
- spread flat they cover an entire tennis court surface
- their walls are just 1 cell thick, thin enough for gases to pass through instantly
- they are wrapped in a network of capillaries so fine, red blood cells pass through in single file

Oxygen in. Carbon Dioxide out. Every second, every day ⏰️ 🌬️

Every breath you take is a coordinated masterpiece 🌬️🎨

Air doesn't just "go to your lungs". It travels through an entire system built for precision:
Nose/Mouth ➡️ Trachea (windpipe) ➡️ Bronchi ➡️ Bronchioles ➡️ Alveoli

The alveoli are where the magic happens! Oxygen crosses into your bloodstream in less than a second, while Carbon Dioxide exits just a fast

Your heart depends on proper hydration and recovery to function efficiently 🫀 💧

When you are dehydrated, blood volume drops, making it harder for your heart to circulate oxygen and nutrients. This creates strain on your cardiovascular system and can elevate your heart rate 💓
Recovery is equally as important. It allows your heart to return to baseline, supports healthy blood pressure, and gives the system time to reset after physical stress 🧘🏻

Together, hydration 💧 and recovery 🧘🏻 help reduce strain on the heart and support long-term cardiovascular health!

Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls of your arteries 🫀🩸

When this pressure is too high for too long, it forces your heart and blood vessels to work harder then they are designed too.
High blood pressure is known as hypertension

Overtime this high pressure can damage artery walls, reduce blood flow efficiency and strain vital organs.
Persistent high blood pressure is linked to serious health risks including heart disease, stroke, kidney damage and vision problems 💔 🤕

Regular exercise trains your cardiovascular system to work smarter and more effectively 🤓💪🏻

Overtime, your heart becomes stronger at pumping blood and delivering oxygen throughout the body. Improvements can also be seen in endurance, recovery, energy levels and overall health.

A stronger heart supports movement, performance and long-term well-being 🤸🏼‍♀️🧘🏻

Cardio isn't the only way to train your heart 🫀💪🏻

While aerobic exercise improves endurance and cardiovascular fitness, resistance training also plays a role in your heart health.

Resistance (strength) training can help to:
- improve circulation
- support healthy blood pressure
- improve metabolic function
- improve general body health

The goal isn't cardio OR strength training, it's finding the right balance of both ⚖️

The heart and lungs work together as a team 🫀🤝🫁

Blood travels to the lungs to collect oxygen, then your heart pumps it back to the body to fuel every movement you make ⛽️

Your cardiovascular system is more than just your heart 💓

It is an entire network made up of the heart, blood vessels, and your blood flowing through your body.

Together, these deliver oxygen and nutrients to every cell, organ and muscle, which keeps you alive and moving 💀 🏃‍♀️

Exercise helps your cardiovascular system become stronger and more efficient, which is why movement plays such a role in recovery, performance and health 🫀

Triceps vs Biceps?

Back vs Front of the arm 💪

Our bicep muscle action = bending the arm
Our tricep muscle action = straighten the arm

Balance is key - training one without the other can lead to imbalance 😣
Do you train both?
