with your IsoBreathe®. The device has ve
important parts: (A) the cap, (B) the body, (C)
the resistance ring, (D) the mouthpiece, and
(E) the ball (not visible in diagram).
As with all tness related activities, it is strongly
advised that you consult with a physician prior to using the IsoBreathe®.
IsoBreathe® - Getting Started
As with all tness related activities, it is strongly advised that you consult with a
physician prior to using the IsoBreathe®.
1. Hold your IsoBreathe® so that the mouthpiece is facing up as in [g.1].
2. Rotate the cap Left or Right until cap is in or near position shown in [g.2].
3. Rotate the ring Left or Right until ring is in or near position shown in [g.3].
IsoBreathe® - Setting Resistance
When using the IsoBreathe®, only breathe through your mouth. Do not breathe
through your nose, unless doing the “Expiratory Training” as explained later.
STEP 1: Place mouthpiece in your mouth. Inhale quickly until you feel as though
your lungs are full. Please note that a clicking sound is normal.
STEP 2: If Step 1 was difcult then maintain this level of resistance until you nd
inhaling to be easier. If you accomplished Step 1 with little or no difculty
then you should increase resistance. Hold the IsoBreathe® with the
mouthpiece facing you and rotate the ring counter-clockwise one full turn.
STEP 3: Repeat Steps 1 and 2 until you nd a resistance level that makes
inhalation of breath difcult, but not overly strenuous.
IsoBreathe® - Conditioning and Use
FIRST TWO WEEKS: Use your IsoBreathe® twice per day. During each session,
you should breathe both in and out through your IsoBreathe® 25 times. It should
only take between 2 – 3 minutes to accomplish 25 breathes. If you experience any
pain or discomfort, stop using the IsoBreathe® immediately and consult with a
physician before using again.
THE NEXT TWO WEEKS: By now you should be experiencing some benets from
using the IsoBreathe®. The current resistance setting is likely too easy for you
now and should be increased. Increase the resistance of your IsoBreathe® by
holding the device with the mouthpiece facing you and rotating the resistance ring
counterclockwise one half of one full turn. Continue using your IsoBreathe® twice
per day, inhaling and exhaling 25 times per session. If you experience any pain or
discomfort, stop using the IsoBreathe® immediately and consult with a physician
before using again.
AFTER THE FIRST MONTH: By now you should be experiencing the benets of
using your IsoBreathe®. Continue to increase the resistance to your IsoBreathe®
every two weeks. Once you have achieved full resistance, and can no longer turn
the resistance ring of your IsoBreathe®, you will only need a few sessions per
week to maintain enhanced lung function. If you experience any pain or discomfort,
stop using the IsoBreathe® immediately and consult with a physician before using
again.
Continue to increase your IsoBreathe® resistance approximately every two
weeks. Remember, inhalation should be difcult, but not overly strenuous. It may
take some time to achieve full resistance. STICK WITH IT! Getting the most out of
your IsoBreathe® requires a commitment. It may take several weeks before the
resistance ring can no longer be turned. Once you have achieved full resistance,
you will still need a few sessions per week to maintain enhanced lung function.
