Breathing
I started with breathing exercises. I
stand with my heels, back and head leaning on the wall so my body posture can
be as straight as possible. I put one hand
on my stomach and with the other block my right nostril. I inhale slowly
counting to seven (you may use a watch to measure the seconds or a mechanical
clock so you can hear them with your eyes closed). After that I block both
nostrils and count to seven, then release the right nostril and exhale slowly
counting to nine.
Reverse. Inhale through the right
nostril – count to seven, hold your breath for seven seconds, exhale through
the left nostril while counting to seven. This is one cycle.
If you want to try that - do it for
one week. After a week – increase to two cycles. If it feels difficult to do or
your heartbeat increases – don’t increase the number of cycles – you are not
ready. Go back to one cycle until you feel that you can go forward. I managed
to get as far as three cycles.
After I felt better – to keep in shape
I started with push ups and planking. I started with one push up and
increased it to twenty. I started planking (the simplest form – face down on my
elbows) from three seconds and now I manage ten. I’ve also added an exercise where
from a starting position on my hands and knees I lift one leg (as high as I
can) and keep it there for as long as I can – then reverse. I have managed to
get to 20 seconds on this one.
