Power Breathing Part 1

Let's try a little experiment.
1 - Open your mouth and take a big breath in. Your probably notice it really fills up your chest.
2 - Now close your mouth, and breath deeply in through your nose, concentrate on filling your belly.
3 - Try holding one side of your nose closed and see how big you can make your belly, and forcefully exhale through your mouth.
4 - Now on the exhale hold your tongue against the roof of your mouth, and purse your lips to create some back pressure.
  This style of breathing is very important , as we need to match it to our swing movement and our rest. By filling your belly, it increases the pressure in our lumbar discs, making us stronger and protecting our lower back.We should be inhaling through our nose on the back swing and forcefully exhaling , while keeping a little air in our bellies at the top of the swing. Match the breathing to the movement. Relax and inhale on the way down, and exhale with a moment of maximum tension at the peak of the swing.Muy importante!!!A big full belly at the bottom of the swing, and flexed abs you could break a pool cue on at the top. Relax, tension, relax, tension , and so on. This is the same breathing pattern you will use when resting but slower, as I will discuss in part 2 , Breathing Ladders and I will be posting a workout at the bottom of the page. Now go back to the top and practice your belly breathing. Z
