Zone 2 cardio
This is a form of cardio where you're going just above the intensity of being able to have a conversation.
Zone 2 improves the mitochondria in your body while improving your VO2 max & oxygen supply.

High Intensity Interval Training
This is the heavy lifting for your lungs.
A max heart rate cardio session is any activity that pushes your heart rate to the upper limits.
It can be as little as 30 seconds up to 8 minute intervals. Do at least one of these a week.

Breath holds
This can help your lungs by strengthening your respiratory muscles & increasing lung capacity.
You start by sitting down, breathing for 2 minutes & then taking a deep breath in & holding it for as possible.
When you can take any longer take a few deep breaths.

Nasal breathing
Breathing through your nose helps your lungs be more efficient in absorbing oxygen.
It increases nitric oxide production while filtering out particles & moisturizing the air you breathe.

Sitting & standing w/better posture
The lungs will only take up the room you make for them.
Bring your shoulder blades back, put the tongue at the roof of the mouth & lift your chest.
Do this while sitting or standing to give your lungs the room needed to breathe deeply.

TLDR
1. Zone 2 cardio
2. High intensity interval training
3. Breath holds
4. Nasal breathing
5. Improve your posture
I should add that not smoking & getting to a healthy body fat % will also improve your lungs but those are obvious so I left them out.
