You never thought of using a kettlebell like this

We often become chronically stressed with low levels of stressors in our lives.

This can lead to aberrant breathing patterns. Which then creates a viscous cycle. We're stressed, so we breathe poorly.

Then we breathe poorly and we become stressed.

Placing a kettlebell in your lower abdominals creates proprioceptive input that makes it easy for your body to perform a healthy breathing pattern.

The reason this works so well is that it takes the load off your ability to consciously control your breath.

All you have to do is focus on the kettlebell (or weight).

Try it for 5 minutes Use a weight that is about 5% of your body weight to start.
