Comment on My next door neighbor is trying to lose a 100lbs. But having real problems getting his breathing under control when exercising. Is there like a breathing exercise he can do everyday to improve?

I would say yes. He needs medical help.

I was in a similar position excess weight and breathing issues. But I could still do a mile of walking.

The human body can only take so much stress then it breaks. Especially if you are over 45. What you are describing sounds like a seriously and potentially lethal problem.

Does it matter that he goes to the local library to do yoga to help him? He likes it because it pisses him off that these older people are doing it so easily and he can’t and makes him try harder. I was told if you do intervals of in through the nose out through the mouth 3 times normal breathing and I guess you could call it reps of breathing he does it till he gets to 30.

  NO
  
  the problems he’s having are not normal, he’s not just “doing it wrong” if he’s doing what you are describing
  
  He needs to get checked out
