I'm not sure why, but it does help when I take deep breaths and let it out. I seem to get a little more energy.

Don't Forget
Don't forget to breathe or you will pass out. Haven't heard about deep breathing though.

Breathing
Never hold your breath during any part of an exercise. Holding your breath may cause severe intra-thoracic pressure and raise blood pressure leading to dizziness, blackout or other complications. The rule of thumb is to exhale on exertion and inhale on return part of the exercise.
