Lesson 3: A Little About Metabolism

Since there are two types of breathing, it should not be surpising that there are two types of metabolism (Metabolism refers here to the way cells get energy). Aerobic (with oxygen) and Anaerobic (without oxygen)

Aerobic metabolism is related to abdominal breathing because both occur when you are not straining. When your cells are not working too hard, like when you are sitting or walking, they are burning some sugar and some fat, while using vitamins and oxygen with no toxic waste. When you strain, like when climbing a steep hill, cells are forced to do more than they have oxygen for. In that case, your cells can temporarily run without oxygen (Actually, they can run for a long time without oxygen, but that is a tremendous burden on the body). This anaerobic metabolism requires a lot of sugar to produce a small amount of energy, and gives off acid as a waste product.

The purpose of this program is simple. To make your oxygen metabolism strong by improving your breathing.

Exercise 3: Starting With The FRTD

Assemble the device, and add 15-18 ml water (1 tablespoon is 15 ml). Click here a video illustration.

Sitting in a comfortable position, gently blow bubbles. Don't inhale through the mouthpiece at this point. You will notice your belly getting skinny as you blow bubbles. Depending on your conditioning, you might become a little short of breath. If that is the case, take a break for a few seconds, then blow bubbles again. If you are the least bit uncomfortable from blowing bubbles, just blow a little, take a break, then blow again. Avoid any discomfort. Limit your entire session to 5 minutes maximum, and continue every night for two weeks before attempting lesson 4.

If, on the other hand, simply blowing bubbles is easy, You can immediately progress to lesson 4.
