"The chest should be open, shoulders thrown back and spine straight. "But above all, as a sporting drive, the song" requires good muscle tone and forces us to improve our lifestyle - eating right, exercising, avoiding smoking, excess alcohol - for make progress and keep them "as if it is not exercised, it is possible to lose everything that was taught as a sport and be more breathless than when we stopped doing this discipline.
