Try this right now and let me know how it goes in the comments below!
Step 1
Step 1Put your hand on your belly button.
Step 2
Breathe all the air in your nose you can, while allowing that air to fill your belly. (Side note: Your belly should expand, but your chest should not move)
Step 3
Hold for 1 second.
Step 4
Breathe all the air out thru mouth, while allowing your belly to deflate. (Side note: Work up to breathing in and out through your nose only)
Step 5
Hold for 1 second.
Step 6
Repeat step 2 through 4.
Step 7
Do it for 1 minute, while repeating step 2 through 4.
You can practice this standing, sitting, walking, and you may experience light headiness and or head rush because your brain is finally getting oxygen. Breathing doesn’t sound sexy like “7 days to a rock hard six pack” or “30 days to a bubble butt.” But it is important you don’t skip this 1st step. Just some of the benefits of belly breathing….
