Question

Answer 1

It's best to breath in through your nose as it is a natural air filter and then expel all of the air out through your mouth.  It may take practise to remember that but just do what you feel comfortable with.

Answer 2

In through the nose and out through the mouth.

Answer 3

in nose out mouth :D

Answer 4

When boxing, breath in whenever and as much as you can (Including training) and as soon as you hit breathe out.

If you are hitting the little speed bag just in through the nose out through the mouth, same with jogging.

Weight lifting breath in when you are going down and out when lifting up.

Answer 5

which evers easy for youbut try not to hold your breath when weight training as allot seem to do

Answer 6

You always breath out through your mouth because its quick.

Normally we breath in through the nose but if your using a lot of energy, in something like running, you would breathe through your mouth because its quicker.

Answer 7

Breathe in through your nose and into your diaphragm. You want your stomach to expand and not your lungs. When you breathe out you want your stomach to press in toward your spine. This is deep breathing that gets more oxygen into your bloodstream.

Jogging you use your feet. With a punching bag you use your hands.

Answer 8

You can concentrate on breathing one way or another - depending on the answers you get and decide to do. However what I have found is that the body figures out the best way for it, when you get bored concentrating on your breathing and concentrate on something else (like your exercise). So when you stop concentrating your body goes and does what is best for it.

So stop worrying how to breath and let your body work that out - its the expert in these things, and you figure out how to exercise efficiently and safely
