Exercises of respiratory gymnastics require constant training, because only following a certain schedule, you can achieve good results and positive dynamics. For the effectiveness of the exercise should be performed in a well-ventilated room, and in the warm season and at all in the fresh air.

Back in bed, right after they woke up,you can do the first exercise. Legs bend at the knees and try to pull them up as possible while performing a long exhalation through the mouth. This exercise is worth repeating as much as you think necessary, because during the discharge of phlegm, respiratory tracts are released and breathing becomes more free.

• Alternate breathing

This exercise does not require special conditions - itsyou can perform both standing and sitting. It consists in breathing first right, and then left nostril. We close our fingers with the left nostril, inhale, close the right nostril - exhale. Then, respectively, vice versa.

Exercise "Woodcutter" is familiar to everyone from childhood: standing, hands in the castle. Hands rise up -, inhale. Hands down, respectively, exhale with the sound of "uh" or "uh." Or one more option - hands along the trunk. Breathe into 4 accounts, lifting your shoulders. Exhale for 4 accounts - do not forget to lower and relax your shoulders. Standing, we bend our arms in the elbows - we hold them near the trunk. We raise our elbows to the sides, breathe in our noses - hold the air for a few seconds. Exhale with the sound "sh", maximally reduce elbows and draw in the belly. A deep breath, and on exhalation we pronounce the sounds "a", "o", "y" and simultaneously tap on the lower ribs - first in front, and then - behind.

You need to exhale strongly - you must feel the tension of the abdominal muscles, ribs and diaphragm. With a weak and soft expiration, the exercise loses its meaning.

Then make a sharp slope forward, lower simultaneously exhaling with your mouth - at this moment say the sound "ha" by blowing air, without using the vocal cords. Straighten out with a slow exhalation, hands rise above your head tensely, and relax with exhalation, slowly relaxing your arms.

Next, you need to make a slow slope forward with your mouth exhaled. Then again straightening, again inhaling, and then holding your breath and tilting back. Pay attention - everything must be done at a slow pace. The same movements should be repeated to the right and to the left. After all the movements, you need to stop breathing, then breathe out your nose and lower your arms just as slowly.

Gymnastics Strelnikova

Because breathing exercises have a verymany varieties, it is also worthwhile to dwell on the program of A.N. Strelnikova. The method of Strelnikova has long been successfully used to treat asthma. Its effectiveness was proved by the results of studies, which were visited by a lot of patients who could hardly withstand attacks of suffocation. All without exception, only a few days later, there was a significant improvement in the condition. So, the complex consists of a group of exercises that can easily be performed by all comers - no special physical training is required. Most of the exercises in this group require inspiration with a compressed thorax - it is with their help that you can stop the asthma attacks characteristic of bronchial asthma. And besides, you can cure not only asthma, but also chronic bronchitis. And pay special attention to the exercise "pump" - it not only ensures the prevention of seizures, but also can remove the already begun attack. Therefore, work out this exercise in advance so that you can repeat it without problems at the right time. Feeling a sense of suffocation or during an attack, the sick person should sit up straight, put his hands on his knees and perform the "Pump" exercise in a series of 2-4 short breaths. Pay attention - do not lean back and straighten up too much.

• Exercise "Pump"

A folded newspaper or wand is taken in hand, likethe pump handle and the inflation of the auto tire is shown. Inclination - inhalation, extension - exhalation. Without tension, tilting and straightening are easy and frequent. The head is slightly tilted, as if looking at an imaginary pump. Lean not below the belt. The inhalation is made by the nose, the exhalation by the mouth, the back - round, the head - lowered. The rhythm of "tire inflation" resembles the rhythm of the drill step. You need to make a contract at least 8 breaths. Then, rest about 5 seconds, and then you need to repeat 10 breaths-movements. By the way, this exercise is recommended not only for stopping asthma attacks, but also heart attacks and liver colic. It can be performed standing and sitting.

• "Slopes"

The following exercise is extremely effectiveprevention of seizures. This exercise is performed as follows - slightly bend forward - the head is lowered, arms bent at the elbows. noisy short breath in the nose. Slightly, not up to the end to straighten, keeping the same position - exhalation. Repeat first. After two breaths-movements, rest a few 3-7 seconds and repeat two inhalations-movements or four inhalations-movements (similar to a bow) in a row. And again to alternate, a series of inspiration-movements, rest, and again .. Do not count the number of series of inspiration-movements. The exercise is repeated until you feel a slight fatigue. The only account that is kept is the number of breaths in the series, two or four. Exercise, as a rule, can be performed within 10-15 minutes. If the attack is very difficult and the patient is difficult to breathe in on the slope, it is perfectly permissible to sit down. The body needs to be tilted forward, the head is lowered freely, the elbows are placed on the knees and make a round back. Without doing any movements, you need to inhale a noisy two times (sniff). Recommended rest for a few seconds after every two breaths, without movement. It must be remembered that in this exercise there is exhalation, but it is very subtle. Exhale quietly and calmly. The inspiration is made to the full depth of the lungs, the feeling of inspiration is almost in the back, in the lower back.

• "Hug your shoulders"

Hands bent at the elbows, raise to the levelshoulders. Rotated palms should be placed in front of the chest, at the neck level. Hands rush towards each other as if to meet, but one touches the opposite shoulder, and the other to the opposite armpit - they move parallel to each other. If the exercise is performed on the go, then you must follow the rhythm of the steps. Breaths, short and noisy, are repeated simultaneously with each "embrace". As you have already understood, the main two exercises that underlie all the others are a tilt-in-breath, simultaneously, briefly and abruptly; hug-breath, rhythmically and repeatedly. When doing exercises using the Strelnikova method, it is not superfluous to master the following practices:

• Learning to breathe

Do you want to understand how to inhale right? Imagine that the apartment smells of heat. And you need to act according to the imaginary situation - that is, sniff, sniff, noisy, sharply, sniff the air throughout the apartment.

• We exhale

Each exhalation should be a consequence of inhalation. Each exhalation should go naturally, after each inhalation and it is better if the exhalation is through the mouth, and not through the nose. Do not strain yourself. To think only: "Garry smells! Anxiety! "Attention should be emphasized only on inspiration, the exhalation should turn out on its own. The mouth should be kept slightly ajar, this helps the breathing exercises.

• Watching the pace

It will be better if during the breaths you becomementally humming a rhythmic melody, "pumping the tire" In the process, you need to count the breaths-movements. The rate of inspiration-movements is 60-72 per minute. The breaths are loud, the exhalations are quiet. The norm is 100-200 breaths. Pauses between reprises of breaths - 1-3 sec. During the exercise, you need to take as many breaths as the patient's condition allows for bronchial asthma. If the exercises do not help normalize breathing, then you need to use the usual medicines to stop the attacks of asthma in bronchial asthma. On the day of the attack, you can not continue your studies.
