Breath-Work Trainers

by Gabriel Bucciarelli

Thanks for being inquisitive - Video below.

Breath-work is probably the single easiest & most beneficial practice for any person wanting to improve their health. And, it usually feels very pleasant when done.

Exercising the diaphragm & intercostals is seldom discussed but, it promotes the foundation for all other metabolism (via improved pulmonary function) especially blood-pressure & gut-function (both via NO-2 production & parasympathetic stimulation).

Remember: Movement is life &... breath is a major movement for life.

Amphore has given basic breath-trainers with a lanyard as Xmas stall gifts. This is shown below without the lanyard. We usually don't keep stock for sale. The basic trainer has a small hole to act as a 'inward-breath' restrictor so, please don't cover the hole! 

The aim of these exercises is to stretch the intercostals & all surrounding fascia. This increases lung tissue & 'dead-space' - improving lung capacity. It also strengthens the diaphragm & intercostals. 

Basic-Hints: 

  • Use big-full breaths without cheating!
  • Allow your shoulders to lift & lower as you breath. The inward breath will take much longer - so stay with it! 
  • Keep the end of the basic trainer vertical when you blow outward so that it 'flutters'. This 'massage' helps to move any stuck mucous in small lung pockets. 
  • Aim to do about 10 to 15 breaths in a row then rest. This training is a form of light resistance exercise so, it should be enjoyable. 
  • Please don't try to force breathlessness or fatigue. Strenuous breath training is usually only for performance athletes.
Breath-Trainer - a basic model.

Importantly: 

  1. Please watch the video below (approx. 5 minutes long).
  2. There's no problem with doing these exercises a few times each day - whenever you have a spare 5 minutes - but, if you have a medical condition then get advice from your medical guru.
  3. You may feel faint during breath-work but it passes quickly without problems for most persons - See point 2 above.
  4. Always use a lanyard to secure the breath-trainer. And, always do these exercises in a large chair that can support your body if you feel faint.

Again, please watch the video below (approx. 5 minutes long).

Be well,
