One Deep Breath

In this lab, we observed the heart and breathing rate at rest, after meditation and after exercise. The average resting heart rate for everyone in our group was around 70 beats per minute, and the average resting breathing rate was around 16 breaths per minute. Strangely, after meditation, the heart rate was much higher than the resting heart rate. This could have been because we took these tests at different times in the day and in different weeks. Digesting food might have changed the heart rate

I just kept replaying that same video over, and over in my head. “Take a deep breathe, take a few steps back, and run and jump,” Alyssa shouted. “There's only one way down,” she said.

So I took a big deep breath and let myself go. All of a sudden I felt a bit of courage come over me. As I got to the edge I let one foot go and let gravity do the

There is my very organized, not quite unpacked, art covered room. But, of all the places I love, the one I love the most is, surprisingly, the Clemson Rowing Docks. On a steaming summer afternoon or a muggy monday morning the docks are always a welcoming escape from the nasty heat and the mid-summer boredom. The Clemson Rowing Docks are typically

It is bad if you are “sleeping less than 7 hours because it will start interfering with your breathing” as said by my doctor, Dr.Lee, from Kaiser. Sleeping is very important for many things in general. One of the reasons is that kids get deprived from not getting their sleeping hours that are required.

I was nervous because what if this guy was mean and he didn’t like me. I walked up and shook the hand of the worker on the first tee. He said “Have fun today. I know Jason will.” I herd some one call my name in an Australian accent.

He plops down his journal, it landing on the edge of the catwalk with an echoed thwack, the soft leather making contact with the newly cleaned floor. Harry sat down next to it, sitting on the edge of the end of the strip, lanky legs dangling over. Letting out a deep breath, Harry pressed shuffle on the Rumors album and set his phone back down, grabbing his journal
