Power Breathe

Written by eoinod

DUBLIN, IRELAND (Geared Up Blog) - Power Breathe was something I never paid much attention to until last week when i got to try one for myself to see what its like. All you do is set the level of resistance first(1-10) and then simply take 30 breaths, twice a day. The idea is that it trains the muscles in your lungs by offering some resistance whilst breathing in. As i said i tried it the other day and after doing my 30 Breaths the first ‘normal’ breath i took afterwards i was able to breath much easier. They come in 3 different colours, green, blue and red. Green for an inactive person or with respiratory difficulties, blue for someone looking to increase their fitness level and red for people looking to take their competition to the next level. There is also a white one for medical purposes and limited edition, pink and black, Iron girl/man ones. This could be the ideal present for a sporty individual for Christmas! There are test models available in the Great Outdoors in Dublin for anyone to try out.

I always ignored these too. Any good?

Me too, never took much notice?! Do you reckon they’ll work Eoin? (How much do they cost?)

Does it block while you are inhaling or exhaling? Does it (not)make you dizzy?

does it improve your cigarette drag at all? :-)

I really would like someone to give it a go for an extended period of time and see how they feel afterwards. But i suppose it would be difficult to measure or gage, is it actually doing any good? Because someone who is using it is probably going to be running or taking part in some sport at the same time, so it would be easy just to say it’s ‘all the running thats making the difference, not the Power Breathe!’ It’s 69.95 for the new performance plus model and 59.95 for the old one. It makes inhaling more difficult. I’m still very much in 2 minds about the product.

Cigarette drag? I suppose it would help but im not sure it’s been designed for that! haha ;-)

Ooooh ooooh do they want one field tested?
