**Tactical breathing used by the US Navy Seals**

A square. In, hold, out, hold, all for the same count. People either love it or hate it, and if you hate it you do not do it.

- In for four seconds.
- Gently hold for four seconds.
- Out for four seconds.
- Gently hold the out breath for four seconds.
- Four seconds is the usual count, but three or five is fine.
- One minute is enough.
