We do walking meditation to keep that sense of fullness, refreshment, pleasure going no matter what we do.

"As you walk down the street, be sensitive to the breath. Learn how to watch your perceptions. Notice what there is along the street that pulls you out. This is easier to see if you’re walking down the street with that sense of fullness. Can you maintain it while you’re walking? This is one of the reasons we do walking meditation: to keep that sense of fullness, refreshment, pleasure going no matter what we do. Try to develop a sense of a steady center."

~ Thanissaro Bhikkhu "Fabrication at the Breath"

Breathe in a way that feels refreshing, soothing and comfortable to find a deep and lasting happiness

If you feel that you have pull the breath in, you really have to fight to pull it in, that’s really unnecessary — because the breath is going to come in and go out on its own without your having to fight. In fact, it’s much better for the body if you don’t fight.

Start with what you know. If you don't know what feels good, hold your breath for a while.
