Re: Trouble with Fast Breaths

Relaxation is the key here, and that is easier said than done.

I had a similar problem; building up stale air by taking quick breaths and not properly exhaling all the way. Incidentally, it also became blocking for me when working on Weber. For me, it was a mental problem more than a physical one, and it remains a weak spot for me.

What worked for me was not only marking spots where I could take a (quick) breath, but also spots where I should exhale. Sounds like an unnecessary thing, but it made me more aware of what I was doing.

As said, it remains a weak spot for me, especially when I feel pressured.
