Breathing Exercise:

Right now, you're sitting down and using your computer. You're probably breathing shallow.  You need to give your muscles and brain the amount of air you need for a healthy lifestyle. To relax. To think clearly. To feel good.

1. Inhale slowly into the lower lungs.

2. Expand the sides, back, and front of the lower ribs.

3. Once lower lungs are filled, inhale more air into the upper chest.

4. Exhale air from upper chest very slowly.

5. Keep lower lungs full

6. Contract abdominal muscles to push all air out.

7. Exhale remaining air.

8. Relax.
