Alot of people don't know how to breathe during excersizes...

Weight-lifting: "I've watched people hold their breath while doing squats or overhead presses," says Lee Haney, former Mr. Universe and Mr. Olympia. " And I've seen these people become dizzy, get nose bleeds, and even pass-out. There's no oxygen going to the body when you hold your breath, so I never recommend it."
"Working with weights, the technique that should be used when doing any type of pushing movement, is to exhale as you thrust and inhale during the negative part of the movement. With pulling exercises, it's just the opposite: exhale on the pull. Just remember to exhale on the exertion, pushing all your breath out from deep down, much like in karate when you go to strike an opponent." The one exception to this rule, according to Haney, are exercises that have a very slow movement and don't call for much energy. "For example," he says, "seated concentration curls. It doesn't matter how you breathe, as long as you don't hold your breath. But anytime you're going to have to spend a lot of energy, anytime you have to grunt to complete the movement - the breathing technique must be correct."
