@Rahul Yadav It depends on what you are training for or your ultimate goal - but long sessions - running , cycling , rowing ... with nasal breathing gives you a very nice base to work from - this is also known as heart rate zone 2 training -

@Pier Luke I was also surprised on what you can do on a full exhale - it is asof your body is pulling O2 from another source in your body

@Edward Brittain good exercise while walking along the canal Edward - I think doing one rep and then increasing the steps is more difficult than doing 3 or 4 reps of the same number of steps and then increasing the step count - there is the warmup effect that helps and then the recovery steps for a single rep is always less than the number of steps in the next rep - with 3 or 4 reps you have 2 or 3 reps to catch up by doing the same number of recovery steps - the difference sounds small but the the few extra steps during the recovery phase makes a big difference - I think the one rep version is better for building CO2 tolerance, whereas the 3 or 4 rep method is more about volume and endurance.
