People ask me how I manage without a man in the same tone they might ask someone how they're doing with just one lung, but it's not like that at all.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Most workouts are way too aggressive. Thousands of lunges wear out the body.
I'm functioning on a lung and a half, but I have proved that it's possible to challenge yourself.
I've always had to train harder than others to get the oxygen to my muscles because of my lung capacity. I have to push myself past the point of being comfortable.
I have a huge rib cage, which is why I can hold a note out until I'm blue in the face... because I have such a big lung capacity.
I know how men think when they're not responding to questions in a clinical study.
Why don't men like to stop and ask directions? This question, which I first addressed in my 1990 book 'You Just Don't Understand: Women and Men in Conversation', garnered perhaps the most attention of any issue or insight in that book.
Speaking is what most people work on. They forget the thinking and the breathing and instead try to occupy space with sound.
Acting coaches in Hollywood were always telling me to use my hands and body more. But that was never me. I just breathe and sometimes it doesn't look as if I'm doing that.
What am I? Do I know? I am a man: quite simply, a 'breather.'
We have so much lung capacity that we don't even notice a problem until we are in our 40s.
