    Breathe in, breathe out. Repeat. Just breathe

    Yep, this ^^.

    Or else you'll pass out. :sick:

    I learned at a young age from a Soccer coach to breath in through the nose and out through the mouth. This helps to prevent cramps. which I believe to be true. When I'm running and I feel a cramp coming on I take deeper inhales through the nose and after a minute or so the cramp goes away.

    TOTALLY bought this book and did these moronic exercises back in the 90s.

    I breathe in and out through both my mouth and nose when I'm doing most cardio. I breathe as slow and steadily as I can. I mainly run, so I focus on keeping it even: breathe in for 4 paces, out for 4 paces.

    Pilates and yoga usually have specific breathing patterns with the exercises.

    I breather in and out of my mouth and nose at the same time when I'm running....I have no idea how many paces I take, but I do try to keep the breaths slow and deep.

    I'm pretty sure I'm worried about people who don't know how to breathe while doing cardio....like how are they gonna sustain a marriage and the special breathing tactics that are involved in that?

    In through the nose and mouth out through the mouth. I thought everyone knew that.

    What is the correct way to breathe while doing intense cardio?
    Do you breathe through your nose, or do you breathe through your mouth?
    Also, I know that certain activities like yoga, lays specific importance on breathing patterns. Is there any such pattern i need to follow while doing cardio?

    Thanks !!
    The correct way is what works for you. I normally don't even think about it. Maybe you're over thinking a little
    ^^ my thoughts.

    when running, i think i mouth breathe. but i'm not sure, as i don't pay attention and just zone out. whatever i do it's very natural and gets me the oxygen i need.

    in yoga, in and out through my nose. that actually took some time to get used to and for it to feel natural. but, having been practicing yoga for years now it's pretty natural in class, and can actually have a calming effect on me.

    Very hard if I'm doing it right, :bigsmile:

    I do notice that when I start off I seem to breath heavier than after I have been doing it for a while. I take lots of deep breaths as I'm getting going.
