Do you feel out of breath during exercising? If you’re just starting an exercise program, learning how to breathe properly can help you avoid shortness of breath. Your breathing problem during exercise may be resolved through a simple deliberate breathing technique.

Breathing air is essential to life. Because it comes naturally, you may not realize that deliberate breathing during increased physical activity may be necessary to provide an adequate source of oxygen to your body.

When you exert yourself you will notice an increase in breathing rate. This is your respiratory system’s response to increased energy demand. What also increases simultaneously with this demand for oxygen is an increased output of carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is a natural by product of energy production and it is excreted out of your body during the exhale phase of breathing.

Carbon dioxide can build up in your lungs during exercise if your breathing out is not adequate enough to excrete it. A build up carbon dioxide gets in the way of the air coming in. However, the demand for air is increased due to the increased activity level and as a result you try to breath in more.

Instead what you should be doing during your exercise period is routinely and deliberately exhale. This exhaling technique excretes the building up of carbon dioxide thus allowing more room in your lungs for the increased demand of oxygen.

Whenever you start feeling short of breath consciously exhale slowly and deliberately a couple of times. During this exhaling deliberation do not strenuously inhale. Allow you lungs to fill naturally. After two to three deliberate exhales go back to breathing naturally. During your work out repeat this process every couple of minutes throughout its entire duration.

There are many health issues associated with shortness of breath. Check with your health care professional if you continue to suffer from shortness of breath.

Keep in mind that more air flowing in and out of our lungs increases your exposure to air pollution. As a result you are more vulnerable to the unhealthy impacts of air pollution. During episodes of unhealthy levels of air pollution reduce vigorous outdoor activities.

Try it and reap the reward of oxygen delivery efficiency. Don’t let carbon dioxide get in your way of living a healthy lifestyle.
