As your inhale gets deeper you should feel the pressure from the band around the entire circumference of your body.
Wrap a strap or band around your body placed on the lower part of your ribs.This 360 degree expansion is essential for respiratory function, workout recovery, and even aid in anxiety and depression management. The diaphragm descends during an inhale which expands the ribs (yes, your ribs should move!) and fills your lungs. When you inhale you should have an expansive breath, meaning that ideally you would have 6 points expanding out 2 in the front, 2 in the back and 2 on your sides. If not, or you feel that it is mild and shallow, you have some work to do. You should feel your ribs expand into your hands laterally.Exhale all the air out and start to breathe in, but this time I want you to breathe deep and full.Sit in front of a mirror or lay down and wrap your hands around your last few ribs thumb in back of your body and fingers wrapped around the front.If you notice that your upper hand moves first, you could be a dreaded chest-breather and could benefit from some dedicated diaphragm training.Take some normal breaths and pay attention to what hand moves first during your inhale.Sit in front of a mirror or lay down placing one hand on your chest and the other hand on your belly.

So, how do you know if you have a deficient diaphragm, and how do you train it? Great questions, let us discuss! How to Assess Your Diaphragm The lungs get a lot of love, as they should, but initiation of all healthy breathing begins in the belly and expands up and out with the rhythm of the diaphragm. Your diaphragm is the powerhouse for your respiratory system, and is the primary muscle for every inhale and exhale that you do. But the signs of your puny and weak diaphragm are ever present if you know what you are looking for, and it shows its glaring deficiency anywhere from 4 to 20 times a minute. Just like if you wanted to build some bionic biceps or your buns of steel, your diaphragm needs some attention too! You may ask why? As no one can see your diaphragm busting the sleeves off your smedium shirt like your biceps do nor do they think about doing laundry on your six pack abs.
