B&B#3

Hello and welcome everyone...this is the 3rd of a 4 part series of
Balance and Breathing. Review part two then read the following. Lay the palms of your hands on your stomach just below the rib cage, middle fingers barely touching each other, and take a slow deep breath. As the diaphragm pushes down, the stomach will slightly expand causing the fingertips to separate. This movement
indicates full use of the lungs, resulting in a truly deep breath rather
than the "puffed chest" breath experienced by many. Chest breathing fills the middle and upper parts of the lungs. Belly
breathing is the most efficient method. Infants and children use only this method until the chest matures. Yoga breath or roll breathing combines belly and chest breathing. For best results,
practice this exercise for 5 minutes. Caution...for older people: never do panting or shallow breathing except while seated.
Hyperventilation may occur. When I learned how to breath properly, my performance, endurance and stamina increased.
Have a meaningful life everyone...Jimmy O
