Does Powerlung really increase the power of your inhalation muscles by over 40% and your exhalation muscle power by over 150% because I'm thinking about buying one? Do you use one of them yourself?
Answer by Dominique:
Hi Gaffney, Thanks for your question about the Powerlung. I have heard about the Powerlung, but have not used it myself, nor have I seen any hype around it yet.
It could be a great device and maybe genuinely helpful, but I have got a bit of difficulty believing it. It sounds too good to be true. The only way to become a faster runner is to train hard, in my opinion.

I've been using one for 3 months now, and as a casual workout guy, I've noticed that I have an easier time working out and I think it's because I'm getting more oxygen and my muscles are not fatiguing as fast when I run. It seems that there are people who have benefitted who are way more serious about working out and being an athlete. For me, it was worth trying it out.
