When I use my exercise machines if I find I can do so is it better to take deep slowish steady breaths during the exercise or to puff/pant in shorter sharper breaths, also which sort of breathing is better post exercise?

The one that stops you dying, continuous motion.

II, during the exercise yes, I think, after probably not much.

Cardiovascular - regular, normal breathing, preferably through the nose - not panting.
Weight-based exercise - prepare by breathing in through the nose and - on the effort - out through the mouth.
Post-exercise stretching - similar to weight-based.
Post-exercise relaxation - lie down and breathe normally through the nose, but slowing down your breathing by concentrating on long out breaths.
But I'm sure a real expert will be along shortly.

New Zealand coach Arthur Lydiard, when asked how runners should breathe, once replied: "Breathe through your mouth. Breathe through your nose. Suck the air in through your ears, if you can."

Simple strategy to exercise. Keep your heartbeat above 150, make sure you are sweating (now for the ladies this means that when you start sweating you continue, yes continue not stop and start chatting), do for at least 30 mins or more on a regular basis and all is fine. Breathing is a natural thing, it will sort itself out one way or the other

Surely not for everyone? I thought there was a formula that takes age and resting heart-rate into account?
My heart-rate when starting at the gym (so not really "resting" I guess) is usually around 65 and I was told I need to work in the 120-130 range. I certainly need to work pretty hard to get into and maintain that range.

Are you sweating at this heart rate, are your lungs flaring? If not, it ain't enough, if they are thats good.

Megamum, Just to complicate matters....I once did a ski lesson based around timing your breathing at the right part of the turn. To be absolutely honest I can't remember exactly the pattern...I do remember it doing my head in at first but once I got the hang of it there was a definite difference when you got it right. On a dry slope mind you....I've never remembered to try it on the real thing.

Breathing Hurtle has that sorted...
Heart rate;
150 to 175 range but to get a more accurate check for your age and sex go to http://www.brianmac.co.uk/maxhr.htm and check it out.
But >150 sounds about right dependant on your fitness, fatness and health..see a doctor if you at all concerned blah, blah blah

When I first started to learn to ski my instructor told me I did'nt breathe enough, in fact I was holding my breathe (without realising), is this common or am I just weird

Frosty, very common, and not very healthy!

Urg, life's too short to worry about how much you're breathing. Especially for recreational skiers like most of us.

Thanks for all the comments folks b.t.w. I don't fall into the category of 'lady' not when I spend most of my life in wellies, cutting goat feet and building fences.

No, I used to do that as well. Not so much these days.

I think one tends to do it more when in the process of learning something new - it's when you're concentrating really hard, I guess. I know a professional pianist who started getting odd pains which in the end were traced back to her forgetting to breathe when she was practising sometimes!

I think that's right. I still do it occasionally, in skiing and in other things, but I've learned that it's a bit counter-productive to concentrate really hard when skiing so I hope that involuntary breath holding is a more or less a thing of the past.
