Yawning Question

Sempai Posts: 447 Joined: 2002/06/06	2002/09/02, 09:50 PM I have noticed lately that for about the first 15 to 20 min of my work out I yawn like crazy even my eyes will water. This may sound dum but any one else ever encounter this, any suggestions to what may cause this. It has only been about the last two weeks I have noticed this. ---------------------------- Never be afraid to try something new.

I know that yawning is linked to your body not having enough oxygen in it an yawning is a way to get it. -------------- Life comes by only once....Live it to the fullest!

So that is true that yawning is your bodys way of taking in more oxygen, I thought that was a line of bunk. -------------- Never be afraid to try something new.

I tried doing my leg workout without tai-chi the other day, and I found that I had a lot of problems breathing. -------------- Mike Wagner *Music is the soul of society*

Start again stretch before and after start light and increase the weight gradually if you feel pain go back to the last weight you had no pain work there for a while and try increasing a nother time. Give that a try -------------- Never be afraid to try something new. Remember the ark was built by amateurs, The Titanic was built by professionals.
joeser Posts: 6 Joined: 2002/08/17	2002/09/06, 01:00 PM Thanks! But I do my legs once a week. I forgot to mention that sometimes I would feel the stiffness in my right knee during a flat bench or incline bench barbell presses. Does bench presses affect the knees? -------------- bentong
