Ideal Way to Breathe While Exercising
In the case of breathing techniques, it is most efficient to perform during exercises and pauses, what should be done is diaphragmatic breathing. This technique involves the diaphragm muscle with each breath and involves slow breathing. Therefore, This is a great breathing technique for exercise because it locks into the core and supplies the muscles a steady amount of oxygen to avoid premature fatigue.

In addition, this form of breathing can also help you prevent stomach cramps during exercise sessions. Cramps occur due to improper use of muscles while breathing. The best way to learn this breathing technique is to lie on the floor and place one hand on your chest while the other is resting on your stomach. Otherwise, make sure your stomach rises when you inhale and falls when you exhale. Make sure to inhale a total of 10 breaths for each set until you master the technique.

Difference between Nose and Mouth Breathing 
Most of us are used to breathing through our nose rather than our mouth. The nose contains cilia (hair-like structures) which help purify the air containing pollutants, allergens, and bacteria before they reach the lungs. The nasal airway, which contains fluid also helps to humidify the air, to avoid irritation, and breathing through the mouth does not provide such a filtering and humidifying function.
However, most people naturally breathe through their mouths when exercising. This is due to the lack of air that is inhaled through the nose during intense exercise. Nasal breathing may not be the best for energizing, but it is perfect for lowering your breathing rate. This is why breath from the nose is best for physical activities that focus on body mobility and relaxation, such as yoga, tai chi, and Pilates.



Controlled Breathing during Weight Lifting or Strength Training

When doing strength training, the ideal breathing technique is to exhale during the concentric (lifting weights) phase. To increase core body engagement, one should exhale and exhale air out of the stomach. Having a locked core body requires more power and stability, which helps to promote better load-lifting performance. In addition, exhaling while lifting also prevents a drop in blood pressure, which can stop you from feeling dizzy after lifting weights.
