When your breath is gone, close your throat so that no air will enter your lungs. Now expand your chest, as if breathing, and suck in your abdominal muscles tightly, forming a hollow space. As you do so, try to relax your muscles. Stay in this position until you need to breathe, then relax and inhale slowly.
Now go into abdominal pumping. Release the muscles so that your stomach returns to its normal position, then suck in the abdominal muscles again. Pump your abdomen in and out until you need to breathe. Release slowly and breathe normally. Repeat the entire exercise three times.
