       I write about the ways of keeping healthy in modern life.
       Do you find yourself tired easily for a weekend hiking, run out
       of breath for a 10 minutes jogging, or hit the bottleneck for a
       sport? Breathing may be your biggest barrier to cross.
       Breathing keep us alive. It can not be more common as we breathe
       all the time. So, usually we don’t pay attention to it. However,
       have you ever thought you may not experience a real breathing in
       your workout?
       There was a study at the University of Portsmouth testing 12
       runners over a six-week period in 2011 and it turns out the
       athletes who took breathing exercises as part of their training
       increased their speed by 5~12 percent. This is because the
       proper breathing ways can improve your lung functions, boost
       your endurance, make your more focused, help calm your nerves
       and so on.
       A breath can changes a lot. Try the following deep belly
       breathing and you will benefit from it.
       Deep Belly Breathing
       Deep belly breathing has a lot of benefits for the body and
       mind. But most of the time, we adults just do shallow breathing,
       drawing air into the chest area instead of throughout the lungs,
       which is the opposite to that of babies.
       How to do it:
       Sit upright in a chair with your back supported, or lie on your
       back on a flat surface with your knees bent.
       Place one hand on your upper chest and the other on your
       bellybutton.
       Breathe in slowly through your nose, and note how the air go
       deeply towards your lower belly. Your chest should remain still,
       while your belly should rise.
       Breathe out through your pursed lips, tighten your belly muscles
       and let them fall inward while you exhale. Try to exhale 2~3
       times longer than inhale.
       You can begin with 5 minutes a day and increase your time to 10
       minutes, several times a day, as the exercises become easier and
       more comfortable. If you feel 5 minutes is too long to start
       with, just try from 2~3 minutes.
       What you can benefits from it:
       Enhance your lung functions
       Boost your endurance
       Counteryour anxiety
       Improve your immune system
       Ease your tension and stress
       Increase your inspiration capacity
       Although you have known belly breathing do good to your sport
       performance, you may wonder if you do it in the right way? How
       long should you practice in one day? How well does it work?
