A Bout de Souffle (Breathless)?
In the end, all movements depend on proper breathing, the one movement we do more than any other (22,000 times a day). It takes some calories to move 15 kilos of air each day, as we do. Breathlessness will stop you in your tracks, and prevent the body's efficient burning of fuel. But also: steady breathing with awareness promotes a balanced appreciative relationship to food. You may consider yourself an accomplished breather, but it's worth your while to learn how to do it better.
