Importance of breathing correctly while working out

As most of you have heard me say in my fitness classes and even in personal training sessions, "continue breathing correctly and thoroughly!" The reason why is you need to supply the muscles with plenty of oxygen in order to burn the carbs/glucose that the body needs to continue working hard. Remember, fat burns slowly as fuel and requires oxygen to burn properly. So, if the oxygen gets to the muscles, you can burn more fat.
