Breathe with Gustav from Berlin

Hey, I am Gustav from Berlin, and most people just call me GM: Gym and Grandmaster. I train almost every day and play chess at nearly grandmaster level, and both taught me the same thing: whoever leads the breath keeps a clear head when it counts. Breathe with me in a free 90-second routine where the video and the music follow your breath.

Start this session with Gustav

1 · Arrive — 30 seconds

  1. Picture the start of your workout. The ground, the air, the people around you.
  2. Feel your first movements — relaxed, precise, economical.
  3. Midway it gets hard. You breathe, drop your shoulders and hold your rhythm.

  5. See the finish. You gave everything you planned to give.

3 · Anchor — 15 seconds

Make a loose fist, then open it. Say quietly: “Go.”
