The PowerLung makes for an excellent choice for your Christmas shopping! You can rest assured that you are literally giving the gift of good health. The PowerLung is rather unique in that instead of using flow restriction – similar to breathing through various sized straws – we utilize a pressure threshold approach. Pressure threshold is akin to strength training. Just as your arms or legs have vital muscle groups, so do your lungs – and that’s what PowerLung aims to strengthen.

Depending on your lifestyle, goals and current fitness level, we offer four devices, each customizable to an extent to grow in resistance as your lungs improve. The following PowerLung Gift Giving Guide offers a quick snapshot of the benefits of each model, so you can be sure to purchase the right product for your friends and family.

AireStream

  • Those beginning a light exercise routine
  • Those with shallow breathing looking to improve
  • Singers and musicians looked to improve breathing techniques
  • Those in a wellness or recovery program

BreatheAir

  • Those who are moderately active exercising with low intensity activities 2-3 times per week
  • Those who want to deepen their breathing
  • Those who want to be able to project their voice and improve breath control for activities like debate or theater
  • Musicians who want to learn good breathing form

Trainer

The Trainer is also excellent for more advanced excisers who find it growing more difficult with age. If you’re looking for help in competition performance and a speedy recovery, the Trainer is your model. In order to make sure you’re selecting the right model, make sure the loved one you’re purchasing for falls into one of these categories:

  • Those who are in good physical and aerobic condition
  • Those who exercise or train for running, cycling, or sports at high intensity almost daily
  • Those who want to improve their Target Heart Rate Zone and breath management
  • Those who are a professional or advanced musician who wants to play, sing or perform more relaxed for longer periods of time
  • Those who play a high-pressure instrument but don't always have time to warm up before or between performances

Sport
