What is the recommended breathing technique during the Chest Lift exercise?

The recommended breathing technique during the Chest Lift exercise is to exhale during the curl. When performing this exercise, the exhalation helps to engage the abdominal muscles more effectively as you lift your torso off the mat. This action allows for better control and stabilization of the core, which is crucial in maintaining proper form and preventing strain on the lower back.

Inhaling on the way down, which is not the correct choice here, would be less effective because it often leads to a more relaxed state in the abdominal muscles, making it harder to control the movement and support the spine adequately. Thus, focusing on exhalation when curling up creates a strong contraction in the abs, empowering the practitioner to maintain their balance and alignment throughout the exercise.
