We know how to breathe the moment we came to this world. Or at least we thought we knew. But are we doing it right?

Exercise is good, and it can help to expand our lung capacity, but you would be surprised to know that many of us make a common mistake of not exhaling enough.
When we exercise, our shoulder and face may tense up unconsciously.
