Does anyone need to put their arms over their head in order to take deep breath because arms are restricting you to breath properly?

Yes

No

Need to? Nope, but I think it does help open up your airways or something. When I played football my coaches told us not to bend over when we were tired because it would fatigue us more. Instead we were supposed to pull our hands on top of our head to help get in more air.

I don't need to do it, but I usually do it after an intense run or workout in Soccer to prevent myself from leaning over instead.

Your shirts are probably way too tight on you.

[Asker]

Even shirtless

[Yeatts]

Are you very over weight?

[Asker]

You can see my ribs, I don't think that's overweight.

[Asker]

My lungs are wider than my inner shoulders so my arms are consistently putting pressure on my lungs unless I lift my arms up.

[Yeatts]

I don't know then do you have any health problems? Do you tend to hold your arms close/tight to your body?

[Yeatts]

I guess you were just born with a big set of lungs. It probably makes cardiovascular easier.

[Asker]

No health problems anymore although I did have asthma when I was small.

[inlovewithyou2014]

Nope. Is that even a thing?

[Asker]

Trying to figure out if it's only me, it's a thing for me.

[inlovewithyou2014]

Maybe it's a "you thing" maybe you can start a trend!

[Asker]

Lol not sure how people would hop on to this trend then

[inlovewithyou2014]

Well, make it a sort of exercise?

[Asker]
