Description:

Subjects were asked to remain in a standing position with their feet shoulder-width apart. The right hand was placed on the chest and the left hand on the abdomen. Inhale to make the abdomen bulge and exhale to make the abdomen sink (inhale through the nose and exhale through the mouth). This was done 2 times a day, once in the morning and once in the afternoon. Complete 3 sets of 8 breaths each. Each breath lasts 10 seconds (4 seconds inhaling and 6 seconds exhaling).
