POWERBREATHEBreathing Exercise Device, Breathing Trainer and Therapy Tool to Strengthen Breathing Muscles and Help Lung Capacity, Handheld Inspiratory Muscle Trainer - Pink, Light Resistance

I'm working with a PT on sleep breathing and generally improving my airway, expanding my cramped jaw space, and so on. I was recommended this device by that PT, and I've begun using it daily, and it seems to work well. I think it is too early to know what effect it might have on my health, and I'm doing several other kinds of therapy alongside this, but I like the simplicity of this thing. Markings on the side clearly show what level of resistance you are using. It's like whistling only you PART your teeth and then blow (thanks to Lauren Bacall for that!).

My mom who has ALS has been using this for almost a year to maintain her lung strength after her lung Dr. Said she was losing strength. She seems to be doing well with it using it every morning she hasn't had any breathing issues and her lungs are healthy. The silicone mouth piece is so crucial with her muscle atrophy in her lips, its the only way that allows a tight seal. It's removable so she's able to take it off and use it with another lung exercise device that did not come with one. Thankful for this device! my only issue is with the price, for such a simple plastic construction it should be more affordable so that anyone who needs it can buy one :/

I wasn't sure what to think about this product at first, as many people had recommended simply breathing through a straw instead. While losing 50 lbs through moderate aerobic exercise I noticed that I did not have the kind of breath support I wanted for my workouts even after a year of regular exercise, so I started looking for a breath trainer.After comparing many models, I settled on this one (I wouldn't have picked "Iron Girl" ... but hey, it was the cheapest.) After using it for several days on a medium resistance setting (5-6 out of 10) I began to see improvement. That's right -- I first noticed obvious lung capacity growth after only about six or seven days of breathing with it between 20-30 breaths a day, total, in sets of 10.I am not sure if others will benefit as quickly, as I had already been exercising regularly for over a year and I also meditate, which involves some deep breathing exercises. That said, my exercise routine did not increase my lung capacity nearly as quickly or as well as this little device. I will soon buy the Medium Resistance Model to continue building on the benefits.

I read about this device in several sources, but none of them pointed out that after about a half dozen inhalations, you will also inhale your own mouth moisture. What a huge waste of cash! I ended up with a deep cough after a couple days of doing precisely as instructed.

The Powerbreathe was recommended to me by a speech therapist as a possible way to help with a respiratory issue. I have not been disappointed. It strengthens inhalation muscles gradually and at your own pace. I control haw difficult I want it to be. Any lung at any level of health can benefit. I was directed to do 5 inhalations 5 times a day and to stay at a level at least a week before increasing. At first I would get a little sore but that improved. I keep it on the counter and pick it up all through the day. I would recommend this to anyone.

This POWER breathe seems to be helping me breathe better. I do not have any health issues that I know of, just get out of breath easy especially when using my treadclimber So I try to use this Powerbreathe a couple of times first.

Bought this on impulse b/c of breathing concerns. Helpful to have feedback and to be able to see progress while using this item. Took awhile to get into a daily habit, and I can tell my breathing is better.

With regular use, I definitely notice an improvement. I've read others' reviews before buying, and I'm happy to see for myself that this really works. Glad I bought the light resistance.
