Given that we should "pray[ing] without ceasing," every activity we do should be a prayer, or should be done while praying.<br /><br />I myself fall short of this, but sometimes, monks are taught to synchronize their breaths with the Jesus prayer ("Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner" or the simpler "Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me).
