Learning Proper Breathing While Lifting

One thing I keep forgetting during workouts is breathing properly. Sometimes I hold my breath while pushing weights because I'm concentrating too much on the movement. Is there an easy breathing rule beginners can follow?

Try to breathe out during the effort part of the movement

Breathe in while returning to the starting position

Don't hold your breath for every repetition

Start with lighter weights until breathing feels natural

Focus on smooth controlled repetitions

Breathing becomes easier with regular practice

Don't rush through your sets

If you're unsure ask a trainer to demonstrate the movement
