Hello community 

i'm trying to make a breathing scene and here are my results



set the out frame to 29 to see the loop clearly

Hello Ikhaled0n,

You already started with the poses thats good but right now it feels that you only have 2 keys in each part, wich results in a very robotic movement. Try to add arcs into the motions and get reference if you don't have one

can you provide me with some reference?

For an animation like this, try filming yourself holding two props.  This will not only allow you to personalize your animation, but also feel the animation in your body to help gather the nuances.

Good luck.

Hi ikhaled0n,
is lookgin much better than the previous one. I would suggest to study a bit more forces and how gravity works on our body. Ex: If he is holding something his shoulder and arm would have to deal with more gravity and more effort to carry it. If you want to make him run or attack after this idle, would be good to see a strong and more stable pose.
As Kiel suggests, record yourself to have a better understanding of body mechanics.
hope it helps
