Take long ,slow breaths,breath through your nose,using your disphragn,not stomach,dont fill your stomach,don't fill your stomach while air.become aware of the rhythm of your breathing .
Breath normally during a cardio workout,but while using gym equipment,you must exhale when you exert and inhale when you push,do crunches or lift weights and inhale when you return to star position.never hold your breath for too long while exercising,for that can cause a valsalva manoeuvre .if you've held your breath for long it's time to exhale and take things easy
