After our breathing rhythm is regulated, the hands, arm muscles, shoulder and neck muscles, chest, abdominal and hip muscles, legs, feet and facial muscles are contracted with a 5-7 second breathing exercise and relaxed during exhalation. This is repeated with 4-5 breathing exercises for each muscle and the exercise is ended when the eyelids are opened.
