When training with your POWERbreathe Inspiratory Muscle Training (IMT) Classic<\/a> or Plus<\/a> device, you will notice that you have to work harder to breathe in. This is the effect of resistance training acting on the muscles you use to inhale – primarily the diaphragm and rib cage muscles. However, when breathing out, there is no resistance and you can exhale normally, allowing the chest and breathing muscles to relax, naturally pushing the air from your lungs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IMT – A Complementary Breathing Exercise<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You may be aware of certain breathing techniques, such as those practised in yoga, that promote the use of nasal breathing. Although POWERbreathe IMT requires you to breathe in through your mouth as opposed to your nose, it follows similar principles and will allow additional improvements in breathing strength and control. POWERbreathe IMT, therefore, complements these breathing techniques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
