How to do Supine Diaphragmatic Breathing Legs Elevated

How to perform Supine Diaphragmatic Breathing Legs Elevated with TurnFit Personal Trainers and guest Kennedy Hindley

This exercise strengthens your diaphragm which in turn helps you breathe more efficiently with less effort. It slows down your rate of breathing which in turn is calming.

Steps
1. Lie on your back on a flat surface or in bed, with your knees bent and your head supported. You can use a Swiss ball under your legs.
2. Place one hand on your upper chest and the other just below your rib cage. This will allow you to feel your diaphragm move as you breathe.
3. Draw air into your lower abdomen. As you allow it to fill, you will feel your stomach rise. The hand on your chest should not move.
4. Release the air, trying to maintain your abdomen as it was after inhale rather than letting it drop.

After my first session with David, I immediately saw a difference in my posture and back pain. My muscles were less tense and I learned how to use them correctly for walking and standing. Most importantly, I was able to take a longer walk home,... pain-free! I keep using his exercises regularly and it is making a huge difference. I used to take painkillers for back pain and headaches. Now, I can usually get away with exercising to make pain go away.David has a very friendly yet professional approach. He supports you when you need it and he is tough when he senses that you can push yourself further. His background knowledge of the different muscle groups and of how physical and mental health are connected is excellent.read more

What I observed over time is the cheap option. Well, let’s say... you get what you pay for. If you value your time and quality service, you can’t go wrong with TurnFit personal trainers.read more

I loved that they showed me some pointers if I'm doing something wrong. I'm very proud that they take up the time to demonstrate the workouts. Definitely a recommended place.
