Let's get to know your DIAPHRAGM muscle!
This muscle is
very special to me, it does not get enough attention and many people are
not really aware of its existence! (despite its large size no less!)
The Diaphragm is pretty much right in the middle of
you! It attaches under your ribs, sternum, and spine (basically
seperating your tummy from your lungs!) and it is shaped like an
umbrella or dome shaped' if you will...
Here's why I love this muscle - It is your primary muscle for breathing. The
diaphragm contracts when we inhale, creating a vacuum-like effect
sucking air into our lungs! And when we relax the diaphragm on an
exhale......this allows the lungs to happily deflate.
Here is a short and fun video visual of the diaphragm!
