Are You Breathing Right?
PRIME Magazine|February - March 2017

We know how to breathe the moment we came to this world. Or at least we thought we knew. But are we doing it right? 

Are You Breathing Right?

If you are guilty of the habits below, you would most probably have been breathing wrong all this while.

Pool exhalation during Workouts

Exercise is good, and it can help to expand our lung capacity, but you would be surprised to know that many of us make a common mistake of not exhaling enough. 

When we exercise, our shoulder and face may tense up unconsciously. This can limit deep breathing and complete exhalations, which prevents the effective release of carbon dioxide out of the body and makes you tired easily. Worse still, holding your breath during exercises can raise your blood pressure to dangerous levels and cause you to pass out.
