Product Description

Amazon.com

Athletes who want to boost their performance and folks who suffer from breathlessness can all benefit from using this ingenious breathing exerciser. Here’s how it works: after positioning the soft mouthpiece between the teeth and gums and biting down to create an airtight seal, the user breathes in sharply and continues to breathe in hard for as long as possible. Then the breath is slowly exhaled. When repeated 25 times, twice daily, for at least a month, the exercises should noticeably increase breathing strength. As improvement occurs, the user can increase resistance by simply turning one or both parts of the device: the end cap (which holds a lightweight ball) and the valve sleeve. Measuring 5 by 2 by 1-1/4 inches, the Ultrabreathe is so compact it will fit in a pocket or travel kit for use at work, in bed, or on the road. --Ann Bieri

Product Description

Do you ever feel a shortness of breath from simply walking up a flight of stairs? Would you like to gain better lung stamina during vigorous workouts? Now, thanks to the Ultrabreathe, you can relieve the symptoms of breathlessness by giving your lungs a daily workout from the comfort of the armchair. Just inhale through Ultrabreathe for a few minutes twice a day in a simple breathing pattern as shown in the instructions. Ultrabreathe works on the principle of resistance. As you inhale, the resistance created makes your respiratory muscles work harder, and the harder they work the stronger and more durable they become. As your breathing power improves, Ultrabreathe can be gradually adjusted to provide more resistance with just the twist of a knob. It can even help reduce the feeling of breathlessness from some lung diseases such as asthma, bronchitis and emphysema. Doctors have been prescribing big, bulky breathing devices for post-surgery patients to increase their lung power for years. Ultrabreathe gives you the same effects, but is so small and compact you can take it with you to exercise your lungs wherever you are. Whether you¿re exercising for cardio fitness, sports or not at all, you¿ll breathe deeper and more easily than ever. Within a month you will be on your way to feeling the wonderful effects of strong, healthy lungs!

5.0 out of 5 stars Strengthens lung function, June 26, 2006

I'm no doctor, so I'm only writing this as someone with breathing problems.

Inhaling is mostly a passive function. So when you use this device, the muscles involved in inhaling are coaxed into being active. I can feel them working differently than they usually do, and it's quite a workout!

It's analogous to the benefit that a really bulked-up football player gets when he stretches. Most of the time he's contracting his muscles, but it's important that he lengthen them, too. In yoga, when you do any posture, you almost always follow up with a complementary position -- a counterposture. In both activities, maintaining flexibility doesn't only enhance your ability; it also helps prevent injury.

When I use this device, I can feel muscles that I don't usually feel, and they're getting stronger. It increases my stamina and helps me prevent the symptoms that usually accompany strenuous activity. It works beautifully for me.

This review is from: Ultrabreathe ASI7492 Compact Breathing Exerciser (Health and Beauty)

Only after a bout with a recent lung infection was I informed that I have COPD. The doctor said that I have lost my "elasticity" in my lungs. Yes and unfortunately I am a life long smoker, and have only recently been very short of breath. I have cut back on smoking but I also want to strengthen my lungs. After much research did I purchase this product. I LOVE IT! I have noticed a huge difference in my breathing since doing the morning and evening exercises. Matter of fact, doing just one round of the 25 breaths using this unit has helped me take a deeper breath than I have in years. Do yourself a favor if you want to strengthen your lungs for whatever reason and buy this.

This review is from: Ultrabreathe ASI7492 Compact Breathing Exerciser (Health and Beauty)

My wife is a weak breather when she sleeps, and she also has obstructive sleep apnea. When she would drop off to sleep (and she would many, many times at night) her air pathway would close and her breathing was too weak to pass the obstruction. Because of this situation, for a number of years she has been using a by-pap machine to keep her air way open.
Now enters this wonderful product into the picture! When I saw it for the first time, a light bulb went off in my head. She now uses the ultrabreathe every day and sleeps through the night without the by-pap.
We are saying good bye to expensive high-tech sleep studies and breathing equipment. Ultrabreathe may not cause everyone to achieve the result my wife has had, but it is well worth the effort and small expense to find out!
