I am watching a man on tv do a series of fast pushups.
He says to breathe that way while doing them and that those who play wind instruments do this.
How is that done?

You puff out your cheeks and then let the air slowly escape from your mouth while inhaling through your nose.

I do something very similar on my longer runs. Take a big gulp of air in, hold it as long as possible, then very gently exhale but only a little.
Inhale a big breath again & repeat the whole thing up to 3 times.

It works too, the long run is made so much more easy & comfortable.

@ucme What happens if you go to four times?

@lucillelucillelucille I would either pass out or speak with a squeak.
Three is neat & tidy, always do things in 3’s…free tip.
