ChiWalking Quotes

“Purse your lips like you’re trying to blow out a candle and when you exhale, pull your belly button in toward your spine by contracting your abs. Use your hand to feel this motion. This will force all of the used air out of the bottom of your lungs.”
― Danny Dreyer, ChiWalking: Fitness Walking for Lifelong Health and Energy

“In most cases, having a shortness of breath isn’t because you’re not breathing in enough—it’s because you’re not breathing out enough. If you don’t empty your lungs fully with each exhale, you’ll be “recycling” some of the carbon dioxide left in your lungs from the previous breath, which will lower the concentration of oxygen getting to your muscles.”
