It seems kind of silly for someone to remind you to breathe, but you would be surprised.people tend to forget this and when they exercise they take these tiny little breaths.Anyway the debate rages on but I have found that the larger volume of air I get in and out, the better.So I breathe in
through the mouth out and out through the mouth.I'm not saying this is the correct way all I'm saying is that's what I found works for me.For weight training,when you are in the lifting phase of the exercise,breath in,you should exhale on the
lowering part of the movement.Like I said before,this is what works for me.Others feel that you should just breathe naturally throughout the exercise.
