POWERbreathe / PB2001 Plus Wellness (Standard Resistance)

POWERbreathe is an inspiratory muscle trainer that exercises breathing muscles such as the diaphragm. Two sets of 30 breaths daily support inspiratory muscle strength. Its compact, handheld design lets you train anywhere. Suitable for sports, singing and wind instrument breath control.

POWERbreathe is a trainer designed to strengthen the abdominal muscles, respiratory muscles and diaphragm.

In Japan, it gained attention when a well-known rock vocalist used it backstage to warm up before performances, and it quickly spread among other leading musicians. Its users now include dancers, pop idols and musical theater actors. Breathing is essential for people in music to realize their potential. POWERbreathe is used by leading musical theater actors who sing while dancing, professional singers and wind players, particularly on Broadway in New York and in London’s West End. Just 30 breaths twice daily are described as sufficient, for example morning and evening at home, totaling 5 minutes a day. The first goal is to continue for 1 month.

The stated benefits are:
• Deeper, faster breathing
• Better breath control
• Easier breathing between phrases
• Depending on training, possible improvement in laryngeal muscle capacity
• Reduced tension by warming up respiratory muscles before a performance

This type is recommended for first-time users. Although the standard resistance is low, it provides sufficient training resistance. Regular training is described as reducing breathlessness during musical performance in approximately 1 week, with inspiratory muscle strength improving by 45% and endurance by approximately 35% after approximately 1 month.
