Breathing help......

sfwalter Posts: 1 Joined: 2007/03/13	2007/03/13, 01:35 PM Can anyone give me the correct way to breath while doing crunches and lifting any kind of weight? I've had people tell me to inhale on the lift and I've had people tell me to exhale on the lift. Please help! Thanks -can anyone give pointers on how to do a crunch properly? (machine and ball workouts)
