The Breathing Workout!
So, the table looks like this...
Mon Tues Wed Thurs Fri Sat Sun
Abdominal Release #1 25
Abdominal Release #2 4
Breath Capacity #1 57
Breath Capacity #2 20
Breath Release #1 8
Breath Release #2 5E
Sustain #1 44
Sustain #2 17
Sustain #3 17
So this is what today's table looks like for me! I haven't done my breathing workout for a while so this is a good way for me to keep track of my progress!
So I'm going to go down the list again explaining what to do for each one...
Abdominal Release #1 - Sustain a "sss" and mark down the sustain time.
Abdominal Release #2 - Exhale all of your air, exhale all of your air again and again as much as possible and write down the amount of times you do it.
Breath Capacity #1 - Take a deep belly breath and hold for as long as you can. Write down the sustain time.
Breath Capacity #2 - Exhale and then hold onto an empty set of lungs. Write down the sustain time.
Breath Release #1 - Count to ten as many times as possible in 1 breath. Write down the amount of times.
Breath Release #2 - Say your ABC's as many times as you can in a row in 1 breath. Write down the amount of times and the letter last time through.
Sustain #1 - Count as high as you can while vocalizing the numbers on a sustained pitch. Write down how high and the pitch.
Sustain #2 - Hum "mmmmm" as long as you can in 1 breath. Write down the sustain time.
Sustain #3 - Sustain the "A" vowel for as long as possible on one breath. Write down the pitch and sustain time.
So there you go, that's my Daily Breathing Workout which I vow to stick to from now on! It's extremely useful - breath support is something that a lot of beginners take for granted but these exercises really do help. :)
Hope you found this interesting and thanks for reading!
