How Respiratory Muscle Strength Training improves your health
Oxygen is something that’s essential to life. This means your body depends on your ability to breathe effectively. Your muscles, lungs, heart and brain all work together to allow you to do the things you love most in life like playing soccer or simply eating a bowl of cereal for breakfast. So, why not do what you can to optimise your Oxygen intake?
Benefits of Respiratory Muscle Strength Training You Should Know About.
Provides a resistive workout for your Breathing Muscles, hence making them stronger.
Most of us have stories about frustrating experiences with breathing exercises.
Maybe it’s an evening when you were sick but decided to still run a set of the “before the gym” breathing. Or maybe you’ve been stuck in a meeting for so long that you felt the need to breathe while you listened to the guy who was talking.
Maybe it’s a brush-off from a training partner because you forgot to do your mat work. But, mostly it’s people experiencing getting too frustrated with trying little exercises like this, only to feel like they wasted the time anyway.
The BREINEX Breathing Trainer® range is unlike any other resistance process out there. It focuses on developing your respiratory muscles; the muscles that make us breathe harder when we need more oxygen.
Stronger Breathing Muscles
Muscles are vital for exercise, including for respiratory fitness. The muscles surrounding your lungs need to contract in an exceedingly coordinated manner.
As the intensity of workout increases, muscle training plays a vital role in respiratory fitness. As you exercise, your body’s demand for oxygen increases. Your breathing volume or ventilation must also rise to cope with the oxygen demand.
Weakness in the respiratory muscles, especially the diaphragm (the muscles that help you breathe) can also cause or worsen health conditions like asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pulmonary fibrosis, and other pulmonary disorders.
If you’re not used to breathing properly, you’ll need to retrain yourself on how it feels. Treat the cause, not the symptom. The strength gain might take time, but the effort is well worth it.
Don’t be this guy. Always suffering from breathlessness.
