Episode notes
Did you know you can actually get tougher by humming a song? It's true and hilariously enough there's actually quite a bit of research to support my claim.
This week on the Firefighter Craftsmanship Podcast we dive into how humming can increase your vagal tone (aka make you tougher), help you have higher quality days off with your family, and how this technique is commonly taught in fire academies across the country.
In this episode we cover:
- What is vagal tone and why do we want to increase it?
- How humming can increase your stress resilience and can be integrated into your routines
- How the Reilly Emergency Breathing Technique was founded based on a conversation with Kevin Reilly himself!
