I tried to research breathing exercises but couldn't find anything that relates to this specifically.
Should you keep exhaling until your lungs are completely empty? I find I naturally stop at a certain point, but could continue to exhale for another 2 seconds if I consciously push it a little. However, I find that if I breathe like this for 10 seconds or so, from min to max, I get light headed.
Is it healthy or beneficial to do this? Have I just got a weak diaphragm? Or is this the body's way of holding on to a little carbon dioxide?
Hope that question makes sense!
