Asthma has nothing to do with the strength of your long muscles. When you get an asthma attack, the lining of you bronchioles moisten like when your nose gets runny. It basically clogs your alveoli from getting any fresh air.

[@harshpreetsingh687]

thank a lot for saying product name

[@whoknows8223]

@@harshpreetsingh687 There are other products from other companies too, but the principle is always the same. It makes the breathing IN harder. So your respiratory muscles have to work harder while you do the workout. It fixes wrong chest breathing. You start to breath with your diaphragm again. Singers and Instrument players train this as well. I feel the difference in more breath. I do not feel out of breath when walking stairs. Bas Rutten has a youtube channel aswell showing and explaining everything. This thing is legit costs like 40 bucks but lasts a life long (its out of rubber so you can't "break it"). Seriously this thing is the sh!t. I use it 5 mins everytime before I go take my shower. I use it in the shower so in case some saliva comes out during the process I simply wash it away in the shower afterwards. Always do your own research guys on health. All the best

[@billsmith3250]

Good video. The best I've seen so far. You can save money by using a simple plastic hose valve that costs a couple dollars. I've been using one and it works perfectly. Also, this exercise also helps lower blood pressure. There's lots of research. It lowers systolic more than diastolic. A lot of treatments don't do that. So this can be really helpful for the elderly who can also use the increased stamina and endurance.

The advice for this device seems reasonably but it would be more efficient to just restrict your own air intake, but another tactic for this could be to try and do an intense workout so that your body gets used to the half the body intake so you can do the workout efficiently and then if you take it out and your body can breath properly you should be really good at it.

Traditionally no, you’d be better off wearing a elevation mask which is specifically built for the purpose of using during activity. You wouldn’t wanna wear a lung trainer while exercising because it serves a different purpose from the mask. It doesn’t cover your nose and it adds resistance your breathing rather than making it feel like you’re short of breath, which is what elevation does.

I had very different instructions on the back of my Expand-a-Lung packaging. It said slowly breathe in. Hold for a few seconds and then slowly let it out. Perform this 10 times 2-4 times a day. WHICH instructions are right? The package's or this video? Also, going the slow way, after only 1 session and 10 slow breaths, I had immediate results and tore through my workout the next day like I hadn't done in years.

[@ZHealthPerformance]

+Dragon Boy Thanks for the question. Sorry to say there isn't just ONE right way. We are not affiliated with expand-a-lung and as the creators of the device it would make sense to follow their instructions. We use the tool in multiple ways with our clients and the professionals who attend our courses. This video is just one example. If you are getting results with what you have tried, stay the course.

[@dragonboy7395]

+ZHealthPerformance Thank you for your fast response! Can you comment on how going slow for 10 breaths vs. fast for 30 breaths could have different benefits?

[@ZHealthPerformance]

Dragon Boy Sure. It would be similar to the difference between running sprints and running a marathon. When you are exercising do you find that you mostly do long slow breathes or that you do short sharp inhales and exhales? Our goal is to train for the specific result you are after.

[@dragonboy7395]

+ZHealthPerformance Are you saying that 10 slow breaths prepare one for sprints and the 30 fast breaths train for marathons? I think that would be the opposite. I find that I prefer the long, slow breaths. They seem to give me better results for my oxygen intake during my training and are easier for me to do. I am after endurance, so I think slow breaths work best for my specific goals. But I am not sure I understood what you were saying.

[@ZHealthPerformance]

+Dragon Boy I'm saying that different training modes have different benefits and results. So, if you are getting benefit from long, slow breaths, stick to it.

[@ig3332]

If you compare it to the bar in the gym, so won't it stop being effective when your respiratory muscles are already "in shape" (lets say the valve is already on the most difficult level)?

[@thepsychologist8159]

Yes, that's actually a very good point. In my earlier years of running (I train for half-marathona) I'd wonder why my times would increase dramatically after I reached a certain point of training. I realised that in the earlier stages, parts of my body would fatigue which would then cause me to slow down. However, after I reached the mid-point when all the muscles (including the lungs) started to come together and perform in unison, I was then capable of running longer and faster. Interesting as well I found that when I was in elite condition, when I went swimming I could hold my breath under water for a long time (which I wasn't capable of when not fit). So getting back to what you said, this is a good question. If you're in supreme shape, will the Expand-a-Lung then become redundant?

[@phil2bfree]

Would using the device more than 7 minutes a day bring better or faster results? I have asthma & would appreciate your feedback. Thanks for your excellent video.

Not sure if this video is too old now and if my question will go through, but I was wondering if I use the device correctly. I have it set at around 3 and while I can do 30 breaths rather easily I cannot inhale all the way, i.e. if I breathe in all the way with the device and pull it out I can still breathe in a bit more, but cannot do it with the device. So the question is should I reduce the resistance so that I am able to breathe in all the way, or should I set it so it’s hard to make a breath in general and ignore not being able to make a full breath? Thanks in advance.

[@laurerobichon8227]

Hello Dr Cobb, I have another question. With this device it takes me about 4 to 6 seconds to fill up my lungs completely and 7 to 9 to empty them. Does that mean that I am putting too much resistance? Thank you for your time!

What have you found on its effect on oxygenation (fuel) to the rest of the body and brain? Thanks, Austin Jones

[@ZHealthPerformance]

Austin Jones Hi Austin: Cool question. Acutely, you may see a drop in oxygenation because you’re making it harder to breathe! However, very quickly after using the device you can see a significant improvement in measured oxygen saturation based on our experience. Ultimately, you want to think of this device as a great tool to increase respiratory strength and resiliency over time. You will generally see very positive effects over 6-12 weeks of training as adaptation occurs.

[@camilospataro664]

I would describe this another way. First, you have to understand that regardless of the oxygen saturation in the blood, you need CO2 in order to use that oxygen. In other words CO2 is what makes O2 available to you. When you are using this amazing thing, you're exhalation is longer and harder, so you dont expel as much CO2. What happens with time is that the sensors in your brain that are used to a certain level of CO2 starts to calibrate to have a higher tolerance for CO2. So in your daily life, your breath rate slows down, you expel less CO2, so you have more oxygen available in general, so you have more energy, more mental clarity, you are more awake, and of course you have more stamina.

[@andrewking8741]

@@camilospataro664 how long does it take to adjust? will there be an initial period during which your performance actually goes down?

[@camilospataro664]

@@andrewking8741 Yes, it takes some time for the sensors in your brain (and other mechanisms) to adjust to the new levels of CO2, in my experience 2 or 3 weeks. In fact if you go too strong too fast, you might get headaches or feel nauseous, similar to altitude sickness.

Tweeked Mobb the mouthpiece style of lung exerciser is better for doing sets of high exertion or, in the easiest settings, works great for deep inhalation training. I do that for minutes while driving. A training mask is better suited for runners but I don’t like it for lung exercises because of the hassle, the hot breath, the smell and that I can’t use it except when at the gym or running.
