Power Breathe - Resistance training for your lungs

As a fitness freak, I'm always interested in the latest fitness gadgets and equipment. While most are junk there are some that just pop out and amaze me and this is one of them. Power Breathe is touted as the dumbbells for your diaphragm; the idea being that one's endurance and breathing capacity can be markedly improved through resistance training of the lungs - in effect making them work harder which makes them more efficient, stronger, and ultimately translates into better sport performance. I don't have this product but a friend of mine who is an avid swimmer has been using this for months and swears it has helped him in terms of endurance. Reviews in general are mixed thus it is up to the buyer's discretion to try it out. It isn't necessarily cheap either; going at $45-60 per unit depending on the model you buy.



Ultimately we have to remember that this product was initially created to help those who suffered from asthma and/or respiratory ailments and not necessarily for sports performance. Would I consider buying it though? I think I would cause I have lousy lungs.
