Re: Do you hold your breath at work?
I like to think (maybe it's true, maybe it isn't, what do I look like a doctor?) that static breath holding CAN inprove your lung capacity. Hear me out on this one...
I have a desk job and spend my whole day hunched over a keyboard, spreadsheet, check book, etc. I also have a slightly kyphotic (hunched over) posture while doing this. I try not to, but it still happens. Taking a deep breath and holding it feels like it stretches out my intercostal muscles. Sure, a short deep breath would do the same, but similar to yoga or normal stretching I think the hold is more important to getting the muscle to loosen up. If I can do this long enough I may make my intercostal muscles more flexible and thus be able to expand my ribcage further allowing my lungs to inflate to a more full state. I find that when my chest and back are tight I cannot take as deep of breaths, but after some "stretching" I can take a fuller breath. It may be anecdotal, but it sure beats compiling financial statements.
