The Breather Respiratory Muscle Training Device

How to use the Breather?

1. Sit upright, hold the mouthpiece between your lips.
2. Breathe in and out through The Breather using diaphragmatic (abdominal) breathing.
3. Rotate the tactile inhale (settings 1-6) and exhale (settings 1-5) dials to a setting at which you manage 10 breaths without puffing your cheeks or getting out of breath. You want to feel as if you’ve been giving 70% of your effort to get to the 10th breath.
4. Increase the inhale and exhale settings independently of each other if the set of 10 breaths becomes too easy. Reduce the dial settings if you have not been using your Breather for a period of time due to illness or other reason.
5. Training: Please use The Breather 6 days per week. 2 sessions per day (mornings and evening). 2 sets of 10 full breaths per session.
6. You should start noticing positive benefits after your first week of use. Continue training using The Breather for the rest of your life.

Cleaning Instructions For The Breather

1. Separate Breather from mouthpiece.
2. Wash in warm water with mild dish washing soap.
3. Rinse well, thoroughly shake off excess water, towel dry out surfaces.
4. Set both dials to 1 and sharply inhale and exhale to release possible moisture seal.
5. Air dry, and store in non humid location.

Important Tips

• Your Breather will be exposed to saliva during use; try to clean it on a daily basis
• The blue dial diaphragms may stick from moisture build up after cleaning or after use. Set both dials to 1, then inhale and exhale sharply to release the moisture seal
• Do not put The Breather in the dishwasher High heat cycle may effect the blue dial diaphragms

   Helps my breathing

   I purchased this breather to help with my breathing and lung function, so far it is working fine. The only problem I have is the app "breathe coach" does not work on my phone. Otherwise, i glad I got this device.
