How
many of us work out in the gym, trying to get  fit, tone up or
lose weight?
And how many of us have
stopped to think about how we can improve one of the most
important aspects of our fitness – our breathing?
Exercising and strengthening the muscles we use to breathe in – the inspiratory muscles – can help alleviate breathlessness and can also make exercise feel easier.
New research has shown that training these muscles can improve all-round fitness and even maximize the effectiveness of other muscles used in exercise.
Leading Sports Product Distributor, FitMed Inc is pleased to announce the US launch of a brand new product range from POWERbreathe® - a revolutionary and versatile inspiratory muscle trainer.
Three new products were launched include one product specifically designed for improving fitness, one for sports performance and one for wellness.
To
get the most from your body you need to pay attention to all
aspects of your fitness. Most people assume breathing is
controlled automatically, like our heartbeat, but the truth is
that we need to learn how to breathe well. Using
the laboratory-proven POWERbreathe®
training
system of 30
BREATHS TWICE A DAY, your
strength and endurance will increase rapidly.

An
easy-to-use, hand held device, POWERbreathe®
has a controllable load for progressive training and is
appropriate for people at all levels of fitness.
BACKED
BY YEARS OF RESEARCH
The
product range is the result of nearly a decade of research. It
uses the basic principles of resistance training. It’s like “dumb-bells
for the diaphragm” - just as you might use weights to
strengthen your arm muscles, breathing in through POWERbreathe®
for a few minutes twice daily, makes your inspiratory muscles
work harder - thereby increasing their strength and endurance.
Within
a few days inspiratory muscles will feel stronger and within
four weeks lung function will improve. As a result, any ‘every
day’ activities or ‘exercise’ carried out will feel
easier, enabling you to get more out of it.

It’s unique, adjustable valve system
means that as your breathing improves, you can step up your
POWERbreathe®
training, allowing you to progress to peak inspiratory muscle
fitness. Within a few days, inspiratory muscles will feel
stronger and within four weeks lung function will improve. As a
result, any exercise or fitness activity carried out will feel
easier, enabling you to get more out of it.

POWERbreathe®
is great for asthmatics, or anyone who suffers from respiratory
problems. Numerous research trials have already been conducted,
examining breathlessness and respiratory muscle fatigue in many
groups of people.
In controlled trials, on mild / moderate asthmatics, POWERbreathe® increased inspiratory muscle strength by a mean of 11% in just 3 weeks (McConnell et al., 1998)
Who can benefit?
· Anyone interested in improving their fitness
· Asthmatics and those with respiratory disorders
· Endurance athletes, such as cyclists, runners, triathletes, swimmers
