Recal Training
Share
Sometimes, the stresses of work and life cause fatigue and burnout, and our minds and bodies take a toll over time. Recal’s guided, retreat-style trips are a perfect way for people to overcome work-induced burnout, utilizing adventurous and mindful experiences in the outdoors to center themselves, renew their sense of energy, and attain a recalibrated mindset. Each trip is hosted by a curated grou
This will be a dynamic session - including a well-rounded warm-up, CO2 tolerance, and respiratory muscle training.
If you’re working toward an expedition, this breathwork session will help you train smarter faster through better breathing and oxygenation.
What you need today is a chair and/or yoga mat. Bring your Buteyko Belt and SportsMask (if you have one).
See you at 8:04am Mountain Time (the 29,031st second of the day).
And you don't catch us live, as always, there's a recording.
When should you actually start your summit breathwork prep? 🗓️
A common mistake is starting a 5-week training plan 5 weeks before you fly. This is a recipe for arriving at the trailhead stressed and under-prepared.
Professional athletes build their training around a "Taper and Peak" model.
So, we built a tool to do the hard work for you.
Introducing the Summit Prep Timeline Calculator—an exclusive new tool inside our Basecamp community.
It instantly maps our 5-week breathwork course to your exact expedition date, building in the crucial adaptation and taper phases so you arrive at your peak.
Stop guessing. Start planning like a pro.
This tool is 100% free for all members inside Basecamp.

Are you breathing into the most optimal location with each breath?
Enter: Self-Assessment #4: Location of Movement (LOM)
If you want to maximize your oxygenation levels, this quick self-assessment will help.
We’ve moved on from the biochemical side of breath assessments and are now diving into biomechanics—how you breathe and where that breath moves in your body.
Here’s how to do the LOM Self-Assessment:
1. Sit upright and place one hand on your chest, one hand on your belly.
2. Breathe normally—don’t force or change anything.
3. Observe where the movement happens.
Your breath can fall into one of three zones:
Zone 1: Lower belly/abdomen
Zone 2: Mid-chest/rib cage
Zone 3: Upper chest/shoulders
Now, take a moment to assess. Which Zone are you breathing into? Comment below with your answer before you scroll down for the optimal breathing zone.
⬇️ Answer: Zone 1 is where you want to feel the most movement, especially at rest and when aiming to stay in the parasympathetic (relaxed) state. It’s okay to see some Zone 2 movement, but not too much. Zone 3? That’s a sign of stress-driven, shallow breathing, and we want to avoid that in most situations.
