We follow the pace
It would be better if during the breaths you become mentally humming a rhythmic melody, "pumping up the bus" in the process should be considered breaths movement. The rate of breaths-movements - 60-72 per minute. -gromko Breaths, exhaling softly. Norma - 100-200 breaths. The pauses between breaths reprises - 1-3 seconds.
