Stick your tongue out!

[OakLeaf]

I was taught to put the tip of my tongue on the roof of my mouth, right behind the teeth.
Do it now.

NOW, I said!
See how that works?

What's it supposed to do? In airway terms, to me, it completely prevents breathing through my mouth.

I was taught to do that while doing supine abdominal exercises, actually. It helps you use your abs and not your neck muscles to lift your head. How it works, I have no idea, but it does.

who on here recommended smiling while climbing?
Because it really works.

Breathing while climbing works for me (most of the time).

I've found breathing and trying NOT to cough up a lung works for me.

Seriously, I'm going to try a few of these tips...anything that will keep my lungs in my chest is worth a go.

This is to funny!
I realized last week that I stick out my tounge when I am doing intervals, short power climbs, or really working hard into the wind. Since I am back in Florida, I don't know if I do it on long climbs. It ends up going to my chin, and pulls my lower lip in over my bottom teeth
