Bike And Hike Without Breathing Problems by Sasha Yakovleva on 20/09/2017 Many people contact me with questions about how to breathe during physical activities. It is a big issue for anyone who has breathing difficulties, which often creates a deadlock situation. On one hand, being physically active is essential for overcoming breathing problems; on the other hand, physical activities often become a trigger for asthma symptoms and other types of breathing difficulties. As a result, people stop exercising and their health worsens. Fortunately, the <a href="/bike-and-hike-without-breathing-problems/">Buteyko Breathing Normalization method</a> helps people find a way out of this hostile place. Adults and children become able to hike, run, bike, swim, and do <a href="https://www.breathingcenter.com/is-it-safe-to-deep-breathe-in-yoga/">yoga</a> without experiencing any breathlessness, <a href="https://www.breathingcenter.com/testimonials/coughing-disappeared-after-buteyko-breathing-exercises/">coughing</a>, excessive mucus, or fatigue.</p> <p>Peter Merlin was not able to exercise without a coughing fit caused by his asthma but now he is biking and skiing at a high elevation without breathing problems. He lives in Boulder, CO; he took several Buteyko courses from <a href="https://www.breathingcenter.com/sasha-yakovleva-advanced-buteyko-breathing-practitioner/">Sasha Yakovleva</a> and became a <a title="Buteyko Breathing Practitioners" href="/bike-and-hike-without-breathing-problems/">certified Byteyko practitioner. </a> Watch the video above to learn from Peter about how to control breathing during physical activities.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-breathing-tips-how-to-breathe-during-physical-activities"><strong>Breathing Tips: How To Breathe During Physical Activities</strong></h2> <p>1.
