How many of us work out in the gym, trying to get fit, tone up or lose weight? And how many of us have stopped to think about how we can improve one of the most important aspects of our fitness - our breathing? Exercising and strengthening the muscles we use to breathe in - the inspiratory muscles - can help alleviate breathlessness and can also make exercise feel easier. New research has shown that training these muscles can improve all-round fitness and even maximise the effectiveness of other muscles used in exercise.
To get the most from your body you need to pay attention to all aspects of your fitness. Most people assume breathing is controlled automatically, like our heartbeat, but the truth is that we need to learn how to breathe well. Using the laboratory-proven POWERbreathe training system of 30 BREATHS TWICE A DAY, your strength and endurance will increase rapidly. An easy-to-use, drug-free, hand held device, POWERbreathe has a controllable load for progressive training and is appropriate for people at all levels of fitness.
It's unique, adjustable valve system means that as your breathing improves, you can step up your POWERbreathe training, allowing you to progress to peak inspiratory muscle fitness. Within a few days, inspiratory muscles will feel stronger and within four weeks lung function will improve. As a result, any exercise or fitness activity carried out will feel easier, enabling you to get more out of it.
How It Works
POWERbreathe, a hand-held inspiratory muscle trainer is a unique, simple-to-use, drug free product designed to help maximise sports performance, improve fitness and reduce breathlessness. It uses the basic principles of resistance training, with adjustable load which caters for all capabilities and permits progressive training. 'Dumb-bells for your diaphragm' - Just as you might use weights to strengthen your arm muscles, breathing in through POWERbreathe for a few minutes twice daily, makes your inspiratory muscles work harder - thereby increasing their strength and endurance.
It is an easy-to-use, drug-free, hand-held device with a comfortable mouthpiece. Within a few days your inspiratory muscles will feel stronger and within four weeks your lung function, and ultimately performance, will improve.
What the experts say
"My experience as a sport scientist and respiratory physiologist has demonstrated that good (comfortable) breathing technique is only possible if your breathing muscles are in good shape. Our research has shown that training with POWERbreathe gives breathing 'power and reserve', making a workout more comfortable and enjoyable" - Dr Alison McConnell
