I’d like to add that a lot of people do diaphragmatic breathing incorrectly. The ultimate goal for utilizing the diaphragm is slow and steady breathing in a controlled manner. I see too many people taking in big gulps of air and exhaling out with no sign of control. Even when think they got it, it’s still too fast. You must keep the rib cage expanded on the exhale in order to expel the air. There is no pushing, just allowing the air to escape slowly. This may vary from activity to activity, but there needs to be a reasonable amount of control during exhalation.
