Overcome Breathlessness & Fatigue With Better Breathing

To increase strength and efficiency, all muscles require training – including the ones for breathing. PowerLung works just like strength training to build strength and efficiency for your breathing.

Think of PowerLung like weight training. Weight training works through a process known as progressive threshold resistance. PowerLung provides resistance for both inhale and exhale to strengthen the muscles that control breathing. With independent controls for both inhale and exhale, you control the resistance levels and progress as you improve.

According to independent research studies, better breathing results in improved performance, reduced fatigue, and increased endurance. These improvements are important for exercise and fitness as well as music and performing arts. Improve performance, reduce fatigue, increase endurance, and breathe better with PowerLung.
