Weight loss occurs at a fairly rapid pace: in a week of breathing exercises you can reduce the size of your hips and waist by five centimeters. The results obtained in comparison with training on exercise bikes are striking in numbers: calorie burning is 140% more effective. For gymnastics you will need a minimum of equipment: a mat, a chair and a good mood.
You can learn to breathe correctly on your own, but it is still better to conduct the first classes with a specialist who can monitor the exercises and guide you to correct breathing.
The principle of bodyflex
In its principle, the system resembles morning exercises. The main principle here is aerobic breathing, which increases oxygen access to problem parts of the body.

They are performed on an empty stomach. If you want, you can drink a maximum of one glass of liquid. It can be plain water, juice or tea.
Rules of breathing exercises by Marina Korpan

What is belly breathing? How to breathe with your stomach?
Mastering the method of “belly breathing” is quite difficult, but it is possible.
To control the correctness of the exercises, you need to stand up straight, put one hand on your stomach, take a deep breath, “inflating” your stomach; and then exhale the same slowly, while relaxing the abdominal muscles. Inhale through the nose, exhale through the mouth.
Repeat this exercise three times, trying to use the abdominal muscles as much as possible in the breathing process. Then take one deep breath, after which you quickly inhale two more times. Then take two short sharp exhalations through your nose. Repeat this cycle twice. The next exercise is a combination of the first two. The first exercise is performed three times, immediately after it the second is done three times (only instead of two - one sharp inhalation and a short exhalation).
If you do such gymnastics every morning for fifteen to twenty minutes, then in ten days your waist will decrease by ten centimeters.

This can be explained by the fact that this technique does not involve long delays in breathing, which is not recommended for people with various diseases. But still, consulting with a doctor before starting classes will not be superfluous. Thus, it is not advisable for people with chronic diseases to use Oxysize; otherwise, use the lighter version.
It is important not to overdo it, as doing gymnastics incorrectly can negatively affect your health.
Gymnastics for weight loss, developed by Marina Korpan, allows you to lose as many kilograms of excess weight as is required for health. Such gymnastics allows you to normalize metabolic processes in the body, tightens muscle mass, eliminating sagging and sagging skin, and promotes the formation of attractive figure shapes, as when drying the body. With proper breathing using this method, the facial muscles are trained, making it even more attractive and younger, the joints acquire the desired flexibility and mobility.
It will be very useful if this breathing exercise is carried out in combination with special exercises, also developed by Marina Korpan and called bodyflex.
For pregnant
Classic Bodyflex, based on breathing exercises, is strictly prohibited for pregnant women. Both Greer Childers and Marina Korpan emphasize this. The fact is that they require too much tension on the abdominal wall and can cause serious harm to the baby and the expectant mother. However, women during pregnancy can practice using the Oxysize method, which does not involve holding your breath. In addition, pregnant women can perform light stretching exercises without putting stress on the pelvis.
