Squeezing up with ...
Hi
An author writes about how to do deep abdominal breathing. She says for example: It's easier if you start with the exhale: squeeze every last bit of air out of your lungs, squeezing up with your diaphragm like making a tight fist under your ribs.
Does it mean something like "tense up your diaphragm" feeling like it was a tight fist?
