a lungburst is…

in case viewers are wondering:

By “lungburst”, blog admin simply means: when you’re heart gets pumping up. that’s enough. if you’re training for an event, you should probably try to exceed your limit everytime. but i’m not, i’m happy with my short run: run for 30 mins, walk for ten mins, sprint two times for the lungburst…. this is what my lungburst looks like; (i don’t have a photo of my lungs though):

shot one hour already after running, at about 8am today. can you hear the heart beating — that’s the idea (not to get red but to get the blood oxygenated). You can also walk briskly, or bike, or swim, or jump rope, etc… (housework will not give you a lungburst…hmmm, lemme see; housework or household chores are more meditative than anything (washing dishes, clearing the clutter, etc., those are relaxing and meditative but will not get your heart bursting out)… you need the “lungburst”… but i don’t really mean, exceed your limit, (unless, as i said, you’re in-training), “lungburst” is an exaggeration. just get your blood running, that’s enough.

if you’re running for the first time, consult a physician before you start.

“Heart-openers” : Happy Valentine’s!!!


There are what are called “heart-openers” or “opening-the-heart” poses in ashtanga yoga. Those who practise yoga believe that backbends and twists “open your heart”

(Yoga tank top by Myra: Thanks again!)

(Anatomically, these poses stretch the muscles around the rib cage and shoulders. Metaphysically speaking (I’m not too much of a “metaphysical” person), many yogins believe they open your “heart chakra”; then you close them with the forward bends, then open them again with other backbends, then close them again with forward bends or the plow pose, etc. ]

This is an example of a “heart-opener”, it’s a variation of the fish pose – it’s a fish pose on lotus (go to your inversion, lotus your leg and feet in mid-air, come down very slowly, then assume the fish pose and you’re there.).

Happy Valentine’s for tomorrow!
