Lie on the floor with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor.
Wrap your thumbs and fingers around the base of your ribs.
Take a deep breath all the way in to the base of your lungs, moving your ribs out into your hands.
Your tummy will puff out.
Breathe out, gently tightening the abdominal muscles, fully emptying your lungs.
Repeat this exercise, keeping your neck and shoulders relaxed throughout the movement.
