Welcome to week three of the 30 Day Breathing challenge.  In Breathing Challenge Week One we introduced the challenge and how it can improve your health. Breathing Challenge Week Two had a focus on new exercises and how breathing can effect posture. This week the focus is on how poor breathing can contribute to cramps.

This week as you reassess you should still be seeing significant improvement in your controlled pause and your breaths per minute.

The first exercise we introduce this week is another fascial opener. Just like Facial Opener I, Fascial Opener II will help you become more elastic, stretchy and capable.

The second exercise this week is is high-low breathing. By placing one hand on the chest and another on the stomach it is easy to determine how well you are breathing with your diaphragm. Your belly should rise and fall with each breath, but your chest should move relatively little.

The final exercise this week is straw breathing. Breath through a straw, you may want to pinch your nose. Take a two second inhale through the straw, then exhale the air over ten seconds. Repeat until you feel the need to take a deep breath.
