3 part converted breathing

I naturally walk or do other physical sports on a 2-unit count because I have two legs and two hands. In these cases, using an even beat count is convenient while preserving 3-part breathing.

2-beat conversion

In a 2-unit inhale, steps 2 and 3 merge into one when I inflate my lungs:

1. I inhale and inflate my belly 360⁰ degrees to maximum diaphragm amplitude. 1Xunit.
2. Further, in a combined movement, I inhale and inflate my ribcage fully 360⁰ degrees and then the chest. 1Xunit.

I exhale – in a reversed order.

4-beat conversion

In a 4-beat inhale, I divide step 1 into the front and back diaphragm movements.

1. I inhale and inflate the front half of my belly at 180⁰ degrees. 1Xunit.
2. Further, inhale and inflate the back half of my belly at 180⁰ degrees. 1Xunit.
3. Continue to inflate my ribcage fully. 1Xunit.
4. Finish inhaling by inflating my chest. 1Xunit.

I exhale – in a reversed order.
