Explanation

First of all, deep breathing by itself is great for your body and mind. That is why it exists in almost every culture on the globe. Your breath is your power, your life.

Now in reference to the exercise I taught you yesterday. It hits little muscles deep inside your abdominal region that sit ups just don't hit by themselves. It will strengthen the abdominal wall meaning you'll naturally be "sucking it in" without consciously "sucking it in." Your posture will improve because you won't have a weak stomach just hanging. It will have muscular support from deep inside.

It improves your digestion. It gives a nice "flex" to your digestive track. In fact, you may find you need to visit a bathroom while doing this exercise sometimes. But that's okay. I've seen people take inches off their waste doing only this exercise. No crunches, no sit-ups of any kind. Of course, sit ups off all kinds are still a good thing.

Not to mention all the mental benefits you'll get just from the act of breathing deeply and focusing your mind. That alone is reason to practice this exercise.

Don't overlook dynamic deep breathing exercises. They can literally change your life.

Train smart,
