You require both good breathing and embouchure to play any woodwind or brass instrument well. The flute embouchure is harder to get right than most woodwinds. It also requires fine control of the lip muscles, which is why flautists make good kissers.
Anything that improves your general fitness is good for playing any instrument. It in no way hinders your breathing – if it did, idly breathing would too.
I completely forgot that I go 10-pin bowling in a league once a week.
