I seem to have forgoten how.
does the belly go in and out?
or does the chest go up and down? (like superman)
.or does the whole thing expand on the inhale, and return on the exhale?
if you have a baby or small child they are a good way to find out.
I heard it on a yoga program once but dont remember which way they said.
so sad that we learn bad habits.

If you are relaxed and not engaged in a yoga practice then usually your abdomen rises and falls. Most of us don't breathe as fully as we should that's for sure. We have enormous lung capacity.
What they talked about on the yoga video (I believe) is Ujayi Breathing. This is a specific method of breathing where in you apply an upward lock (your lower abdominals go in and up toward your spine) and the you breathe deeply into your chest, you should feel a total expansion of the ribcage in an ideal practice (we all lose it and have to remind ourselves). Sometimes it's just a matter of conscious breathing.....hope this helps.

This is an easy way to correct any bad breathing habits you may have formed and it is easy to remember.
Smell the flowers and blow out the candles.
Inhale through your nose and exhale through your mouth.

normally we only use 10% capacity of our lungs and we have a bad habit of chest in and out but your supposed to lay down and and fill you tummy first then your chest repeat several times everyday this is going to cause you to burn fat at a higher rate than normal. ive heard " oxygen to fan the flames of fat burning" from some gurue

you can only see your chest up and down when you are taking a deep breath. If not, and when you are lying, you will see your abdomen goes up and down normally.
