The brilliant Linda Stone has discovered that we stop breathing when we read our email, which she calls "email apnea". It could be contributing to stress and obesity, according to some of the scientists she interviewed. She predicts that in the next 5-7 years, breathing exercises will become part of every exercise regime.
I had a friend who always told me, as we were saying goodbye, to remember to breathe. Even more reason to do so. Remember to breathe!

I do the same when coding or reading code, needing to visualize data structures, move 'em around, etc., refusing to exhale cause i might lose control .... bad, i know =)

I've seen designs for a treadmill + computer setup (a "treadputer") where you exercise at a slow pace like 1 mph while you work. That should, at least, get you to a pace where you have to breathe.
