Just like any other muscle in your body, the best way to make them stronger and more efficient is to strength train them. Imagine a person who trains or exercises with weights, machines or exercise bands. When a person is training, he or she must &#8220;work&#8221; against something, a resistance.<\/p>\n<p>In this case, lifting and lowering the weight. The weight creates a workload &#8211; resistance &#8211; for the muscles to work against and overcome. The more the person repeats the pattern of the exercise, the stronger his or her muscles become. As it becomes easier to do the exercise the person can increase the threshold to help make the muscles stronger.<\/p>\n<p>That is threshold resistance, a proven method of training used only by PowerLung. When you breathe in and out through PowerLung, you are working against a threshold of resistance that is the same for every breath. You are not breathing through a restricted orifice where the load can be reduced just by changing the way you breathe.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1606768407704{border-top-width: 1px !important;border-bottom-width: 1px !important;background-color: rgba(55,58,65,0.04) !important;*background-color: rgb(55,58,65) !important;border-top-color: rgba(218,222,225,0.85) !important;border-top-style: solid !important;border-bottom-color: rgba(218,222,225,0.85) !important;border-bottom-style: solid !important;}&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n<h2><span style=\"color: #1a5ea9;\">Setting the &#8220;Weights&#8221; on PowerLung<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>PowerLung has two control dials, one designed to train your inhale breathing and the other designed to train your exhale breathing. Both are adjustable to set your level (threshold) of resistance. Exactly like how a person adds resistance with weights for strength training.<\/p>\n<p>PowerLung gives you complete control of the resistance for inhale and exhale on its products and is designed to help you breathe deep with every breath. You don\u2019t have to remember it helps you do it right. Nothing locks the controls and they are both independently adjustable so you can set your inhale at a different level than your exhale.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n<h2>A Simple 10 Minute Workout<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.powerlung.com\/region\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/user-sport.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"228\" height=\"158\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4587 alignright\" style=\"width: 228px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.powerlung.com\/region\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/user-sport.jpg\" alt=\"simple 10 minute workout, powerlung\" \/><\/a>Training with PowerLung is a very simple workout to accomplish and doesn\u2019t require much time to do.
