"The snow falls down onto my skin," adds Kelly before trailing off. "Like snow flakes," offers Schutzinger. "And your breath? agghrr...
Stone's first proper album, Mind, Body & Soul, out Sept. 28, is expected to be the hottest-selling debut this fall.

It all has to do with breathing patterns and their relationship to cardiac rhythms. It turns out that reciting poetry - especially verse like Homer's that follows a specific rhythm called hexameter - makes an excellent breathing exercise. The authors of the study taught healthy volunteers to recite passages from Homer while walking and lifting their arms with...
