In this episode, Rob and I talk about how breathing with more intent and focusing on your breathing can help improve performance and endurance.

We typically breathe more heavily as a result of the load we put on our bodies during exercise. There are ways to train your breathing and pulmonary systems more directly, we highlight and discuss a few of the ways to do that.
