Why huffing and puffing may hurt, not help.
Breathing hard isn't always the best indication that you're getting a
good workout-in fact, it could be a sign that you're pushing yourself
too hard. If you can't carry on a simple conversation because you feel
like you're on the verge of hyperventilating, it's likely you're
working above your target heart rate.
Remember: You should always be able to squeeze out a sentence or two
while exercising, so if you can't hold up your end of a discussion
while working out, turn it down a notch by slowing your pace or
intensity.
