The Importance of Breathing

How important is breathing? Well, if you don’t breathe, you die.
If you are breathing properly, you will experience less pain.
Here I help you learn how to do that.

Let me know what you notice as you try it out!

  1. Breathing in as I get up and out as I rise … Never watched this before, However, I practice lowering myself from a standing position and see if I can go thru the pain barrier as instructed in the initial program. I do find I can go down further when breathing fast as you have suggested.

  2. never noticed this before ,but it takes an effort to get up from a chair also you breath faster as one rises but emits air while sitting back in the chair

  3. you tend to breath out while rising and breath in while sitting in a chair

  5. as I am getting to the standin position..I take a deeper inhale and also an exhale… seems to refresh my body.

    At the point of pain in my knee while i get up i tend to hold my breath, and i tense up…this is not normal Bill and what do i do?

  7. I have no problem breathing as I get up. I just did a deep knee bend though, and had the tiny snap in my knee and some pain. Stairs did not bother me this a.m.

    Hi Bill,
    You rightly promote the importance of correct breathing
    I have been using a CPAP machine for several years now
    (obese 65 year old male) – with breathing delliema
    ie deep breathing v shallow – nose/mouth v nose only
    the simple act of breathing has become erratic for me
    I suggest that ‘breath mode’ is dependant on physical activity
    “Horses for Courses”

    Hence the request:
    Do you have an opinion on the breathing technique
    BUTEYKO METHOD (Reduced breathing – asthma beneficial)
    I do not have asthma

    Relevance : Yes there is knee pain – bone/bone- tried exercises
    trying to increase h2o intake – make “SPACE”

    2 nd Request for opinion: As a Promo implies -
    Vibration Platforms “10 mins = 30mins walking”
    What is your opinion on an obese situation
    and b on b will it just aggravate the situation
    whilst standing eg; weight bearing down damaged joints and
    ‘exciting/compacting’
    My present situation restricts walking / exercise

    Regards Richard

    Bill, I do not experience any difference when breathing while getting up from the chair.
    I breathe in while I get up and up when I am standing. I am not sure what you are looking for?
    The pain in the knee is sometimes there when standing up, sometimes not.

  10. Regina Grenz-Huber says:

    Please ignore my former comments. I have been doing the assignment and noticed the following: Your awareness of breathing increases greatly now when getting up from a chair to the standing position.Therefore the breath is considerably more intense from now on when getting up from chairs, car seats and whatever else.

  11. HI Bill ,
    L
    For past three months i have developed plpain n ln my right knee. X rays show mild osteo p0rouses changes. So there is no ppain when on walking pain when i bend my knee. So now i can not sit down. And when i get up from the chair the attention goes to my knee which feels little heavy and achy .so now when i i get up from the cha.ir i take a deep breath before i resume my knee normal breath.

    Hey bill,

    • Yes Aya! Start looking for all the different ways you move where you hold your breath and then slow down the movement and speed up the breathing. Your body will relax more and more…
