Relearn How To Breathe Friday, January 15, 2010 CONQUER STRESS AND BOOST IMMUNITY "Eighty percent of men don't use their diaphragms to breathe," says sports psychologist Dr. David Lewis. "This means CO2 lingers in your system and your muscles and brain doesn't get the oxygen they need to function at their peak." This drill will fix it. 1 INHALE deeply for 3 seconds through one nostril. 2 EXHALE in a short burst for half a second, to activate your diaphragm. Imagine you're blowing out a candle. 3 EXHALE with a long slow finish for 3 seconds to completely empty your lungs. Ideally not blacking out. 4 Inhale for 3 seconds through the other nostril. 5 Hold for a second to allow the oxygen to saturate your lungs and absorb into your blood. 6 EXHALE slowly by. Repeat steps 1-6 until 2 minutes are up. Face the day relaxed and with a clear head. Labels: Fitness posted by Author @ 8:00 AM   0 Comments: Post a Comment << Home
