This last breathing exercise strengthens all the abdominal
organs and increases the circulation. It makes the abdominal wall strong and
trims the waistline. It also allows the body to release toxins through the
respiratory system.
A little tip: Only stomach muscles are supposed to move - no shoulders, arms, or lower back jumping in sympathy with the abdomen. Pretend you are blowing off a candle over and over again!
