Generally you exhale when exerting the force. For example when lifting in a sit up or rolling up in a shoulder bridge. I'll try to talk through the breathing during the exercises a lot more. You'll get used to it in time and it will come naturally. We will do some more breathing exercises at the end of the classes, that way you will be able to take deeper inhalations and exhalations. The secret is to take the air in and out slowly instead of letting it all go at once. Yep! Deep breathing will make you 'high'!! But that's good for you, breathing properly can cure many ill's, Indian Guru's swear by it, it can add a few years to your life! It doesn't mean you are infit if you find the breathing difficult, it's just getting used to something new. I hope this has answered some of your questions, thank you for blogging, i'll see you next class. Lucy Hi Steve,

I find i am totally high from all the oxygen i take in during the class is that normal or am i really that unfit? overall really look forward to the classes, keep up the good work Lucy,
