Breathing exercises to save energy

A good respiration begins with control of the diaphragm and respiratory muscles to absorb greater amount of air with less effort. People who breathe evil, an incomplete, forcing over the upper respiratory muscles and wasted energy. Diaphragmatic breathing, however, focuses on the expansion and contraction of the diaphragm rather than the elevation of the shoulders and chest breathing deeply. To achieve this, follow these steps:

• Place hands on abdomen and breathe deeply. You should feel the diaphragm moves, allowing the expansion of the rib cage. The shoulders and chest should not move.

• Exhale slowly and feel how your diaphragm returns to its site.

• Breathe deeply again and concentrate on breathing without the use of the shoulders and chest, and try that breathing is slow and controlled.

• Exhale, drawing attention to these factors.

• Repeat five to six times a few times a day, until the pace is more relaxed and natural.
