This is also called synchronization of mind and body. Stand up straight and imagine that you're holding an imaginary scythe; imagine you're mowing grass with it. As you inhale, decide what to do (to make a stroke with the scythe); on an exhale, realize your decision: make this stroke.
This is the general principle: the most strong punch, for example, you can make on an exhale, so when you do squats or push-ups, inhale as you go down and exhale as you go up. But there is an exception: for the highest or longest jump, do it on an inhale.
When sweeping the floor, for instance, decide what to do on an inhale - to make several, 4 or 5, strokes with the broom - and as you exhale by the Bamboo Method, do this strokes. This is a sort of zazen: a good way to concentrate and a training for other exercises I'm going to describe further.
PS I don't encourage you to synchronize breathing with body movements throughout all your everyday life; as for me, I do it only when I'm on my own.
