When exercising at the gym, people often tend to hold their breath to keep their body stable and create pressure around their abdominal muscles. However, this is the wrong way to breathe and is not beneficial, because the body always needs a regular supply of oxygen to nourish the muscles. If you do not provide enough oxygen to your body when exercising, you are at risk of hernia, cramps, dizziness leading to falls. Therefore, when exercising at the gym, we need to breathe properly.
