Hey, Blowfish: BLOW!!

I've realized that the muscles in the right side of my cheek are incredibly tight. Remember the movie The Little Mermaid and the sassy jazz trumpeting blowfish in the big band number Under The Sea?
Channel that little guy's energy and BLOW! Puff those cheeks. Spend 5 deeep breaths with both cheeks puffed to the max. Teeth apart. Keep thinking bigger, bigger, BIGGER with each breath but be sure to control both jaws equally on both sides. At the end, release the breath through pursed teeth slowly. Control your jaw muscles making sure that they do not pop or click.

Once you can hold it for 5 seconds comfortably, continue working up to as long as you can sustain it without losing control of your jaw muscles.

Play around with pushing the air to one side of your mouth and holding for a count of 5.

Happy blowing!
