Ladies and Gentlemen: the main breathing muscle

So, what is this main breathing muscle? It's a diaphragm.

However, breathing is also the whole body business, so in a way, every muscle of our bodies is a breathing muscle. If in doubt, do one of the following things and observe what happens to your breathing:

Grip the floor with your feet...  clench your jaw ... or just stare.

Got it?

It's also fascinating how unlocking relatively small tension (in the ankles, for example) can free up our body. The body is working as a whole unit!

Here are 2 interesting videos of the diaphragm at work:
