We all breathe. It's a basic human function and it tends to be something we take for granted. Doing breathing exercises can help anyone, be it before a workout, after a workout, relaxing, at work, in class, anywhere! Breathing exercises have numerous benefits, from improving circulation and lung capacity to reducing stress and anxiety at work and can even help boost the immune system! They can also help you get the most out of your cardiovascular workout.
Reducing and Relieving Stress and Anxiety
This is perhaps the most common reason that everyday people do breathing exercises. Pressures at work, things to get done, an exam at class coming up, your boss wants to see you in 15 minutes, life is stressful these days! Taking just a minute to do a breathing exercise can make your day that much better, and you can get back to work in no time relaxed, refreshed and maybe a little bit more energized.

Breathing Exercises while you run
Breathing the right way while you run, or do any type of cardiovascular exercises can help you immensely by increasing endurance and helping stop premature fatigue and tiredness. Taking deep breaths before running, breathing to the lyrics of music, or even running to a cadence can help improve your running times. Deep breathing after running can also help with the cooldown after your run. For more information on breathing exercises for running, check out Fitness Motivators article here.
