MoveItMandy Posted June 9, 2016 Report Share Posted June 9, 2016 When I run, I'm a heavy breather. I was told to breathe in from your nose and out of your mouth slowly. Slowly? How do you do that? I find myself exhaling 3 times and probably look like a lady in labor blowing air out. Lol! Plus I spent too much time concentrating on breathing and not passing out. What am I doing wrong?

bretd1979 Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 Try to establish a rhythm with your breaths / steps. For example inhale for two steps & exhale for two steps. I personally inhale for three & exhale for two. It's a pretty common cadence for runners. Once you get comfortable with the rhythm & you're not concentrating on the breathing you will start to enjoy the run more. Just for the record stop breathing through your nose. You will get a lot more air in with your mouth which is what you need while exercising! Ceecee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daisy2daisy Posted June 13, 2016 Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 In the beginning, I had the same problem. Breathing through your mouth helps a lot. When I became really air hungry, I would breathe anyway I could. Over time you will build up enough lung stamina so that it doesn't bother you anymore.
