Today, the O2 Trainer came in the mail. This is a mouthpiece that slows in incoming air, making your inspiration muscles work harder. In the texts I've been reading on breathing, most commonly the inspiration muscles get weak relative to the expiration muscles and this imbalance adds to poor breathing mechanics. I'm going to be experimenting with this in an attempt to aid my progress.
Day 1 was 4 sets of 12 powerful inspirations at the 4mm piece. Challenging, the first couple sets brought up some crazy deep mucous, and I felt great for about an hour afterwards.
