The basics of POWERbreathe strength training - Just as you use weights to strengthen your arm muscles, you train with the POWERbreathe by breathing in against a variable resistance and thus strengthening your breathing muscles. The diaphragm and rib muscles become stronger and more enduring. Strengthen your diaphragm - Breathing training with the POWERbreathe Medic Plus focuses on strengthening your diaphragm and not your lungs. This is because your lungs are a pair of spongy, air-filled organs, not muscles, and therefore cannot be strengthened. Benefits of Inspiratory Muscle Training (IMT) - After a few days of training, your breathing muscles will become noticeably and measurably stronger. After three weeks you will have less shortness of breath and after 4 weeks you will find daily activities much easier. The breathing exercises with the POWERbreathe Medic Plus follow a proven principle: breathing in against resistance. With this method, the breathing muscles are challenged by the resistance. This makes them stronger and more enduring. Regular training makes breathing considerably easier, especially for people who suffer from limited breathing capacity. Training program - Based on studies, the manufacturer recommends training with 30 breaths twice a day. The resistance should be set so that you can just manage 30 breaths with effort. Start with low levels and increase the resistance in small steps
