       How To Exercise My Lungs
       By: LightMove Date: February 11, 2022, 1:48 am

       Did you know that even your lungs need exercise to stay healthy
       and keep your body functioning properly? Your lungs provide you
       with the most valuable element necessary for life: oxygen. Every
       cell in your body needs oxygen to survive. The more freely it
       flows through your system, the more energized, alert, and
       productive you will feel.
       With regular practice, you can train your lungs to increase
       their capacity, which will help you take in more oxygen. This,
       in turn, will protect the body from various breathing disorders,
       help increase endurance, and ensure that every part of the body
       gets enough oxygen.

       Here are a few ways to exercise your lungs, increase their
       capacity and help them work more efficiently.
       Breathing exercises
       Breathing exercises help the lungs work more efficiently. If you
       have limited lung capacity, breathing exercises can help restore
       diaphragm function and improve your lung health. OPUMP Breathing
       Trainer can provide classes to help you do breathing exercises
       at home on your own, which not only have many benefits for lung
       health, but also for overall health and
       wellness.

       1.Belly Breathing
       Inhale through your nose and push your belly outward.
       It's the exact opposite of sucking in! Now exhale through your
       mouth and push it out
       Do abdominal breathing:
       [list]
       [li]Place one hand on your belly. Place one hand on your upper
       chest.
       Focus your breathing on your abdomen.
       As you inhale, your hands on your abdomen should be raised.
       As you exhale, your hands on your abdomen should be lowered.
       Breathe in through your nose. Exhale slowly through pursed lips.
       Start on your back. Then sit down and try. Then try standing up.
       Finally, try it as you do the activity.[/li]

       2.Pursed Lips Breathing
       This should fall like smelling a flower or blowing out a candle.
       Do a pout breath:
       [list]
       [li]Breathe in through your nose (as if you are smelling
       something) for about 2 seconds.
       Pursed his lips like he was about to blow out the candles on his
       birthday cake.
       Exhale very slowly with your lips pressed together, twice as
       long as you inhale.
       Try to increase your time
       2 seconds in: 4 seconds out
       4 seconds in: 8 seconds out
       8 seconds in: 16 seconds out
       [/li]

       If you have difficulty breathing or shortness of breath while
       exercising, interval training may be a better option for
       stabilizing your workout.
       Interval training involves alternating between more strenuous
       and less strenuous exercises. For example, a person might try
       walking at a very fast pace for one minute, then at a slower
       pace for two minutes, and repeat.
       Similarly, a person can do a one-minute strength training
       activity, such as a bicep bend or lunge, and then walk at a
       light pace for 2-3 minutes.
       Interval training gives the lungs time to recover before
       challenging them again.
       Whenever exercise causes shortness of breath, it is best to slow
       down for a few minutes. It can help practice lip pursed
       breathing until the breathing difficulties subside.
       Summary
       Lung exercises, such as lip pursing and abdominal breathing, can
       help a person improve lung function.
       However, it's a good idea to consult your doctor before trying
       any new exercise, even breathing exercises. This is especially
       true for people with underlying health conditions, such as
       chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
