Respiratory Muscle Exercises 

These exercises have taken the dread out of my pulmonary fibrosis. I'm breathing deeper and wider all day long. My oxygen is up to 99%. Thank you !!!

I am a nurse with copd, she is an excellent teacher. She presents with such calm it calms me as I do the workout with her. Been at it 4 days, already feel a bit better. Hope she does more, she is a good soul. If there are angels they have to be nurses.

I have used these exercises for two years. First six months twice daily, then did fifteen each every other day since then. I also added body and limb exercise to my regime. I find I have more energy and not tired after the exercises. Thank you very much for you help. I should tell you I have eighty seven years behind me . THANKS AGAIN as someone once said "Live long and prosper" Spock said that

This video is helping me so much. I almost gave up until I found it. Thank you sooooo much. 👍

I have been doing these exercises for 6 weeks twice a day and and I found a big improvement on my breathing. Thank you so much for your help.

I am hooked on these exercises, good to focus on your breathing, especially when you might feel a bit breathless,just say in your mind "you will come through this"very positive.

Wow this is awesome, It fixed these problems for me, i hope this is permanent 1- allergy 2- back pain 3- neck pain 4- ibs 5- numbness of my feet 6- muscle spasm

I am 85 & found this very helpful for me. My breathing problem has improved!!!

I am doing all the exercises and they are really helping me breath so much better thank you for you generosity and sharing to us to get better

Thank you for these breathing exercises. I shall try them. What I am doing now - 1. Sit on the edge of the bed holding a small weight (up) in each hand (5 pounds) 2. Stand, pushing the hand weights up, and inhaling through nose 3. Sit back down, blowing the air out of the mouth quite forcefully, and let weights down to shoulder height (starting position). 4. Repeat for one minute of exercise 1. Sit on the edge of the bed, holding hand weights (15 pounds) straight down next to bed. 2. Stand, pulling the hand weights up toward the armpits, inhaling through nose. 3. Sit back down, blowing the air out of the mouth quite forcefully, and let weights back down next to bed. 4. Repeat for one minute of exercise. These breathing exercises will also stimulate the brain pituitary gland to release growth hormone for youth and muscle mass. (Burst Exercise). Do once per hour.

Love this 13 year-old vid. I don't have SOB, but as a senior citizen I find them very helpful to include in my warm-up routine. Huge thanks.

It really works...i was suffering from 6 months..I found this and now m absolutely fine...thanks a ton 🙏

Have been feeling some shortness of breath. I will be doing these 2 times a day .I just finish doing the video exercise and feeling alittle better.Thank you a bunch for posting this excercise.God Bless you for helping others.

thank you very very much.. I am surviving pleural effusion which caused breath shortness and back & chest pain while taking a deep breath. I train to strengthen and expand my lungs by doing this exercise, and today is the 2nd day I am doing this exercise (I did it in the morning right after waking up and drink a glass of mineral water) and I feel much better. I can take a deeper breath like the air is filling my lungs :') hope I can be consistently doing these exercises. thank you very much.. you help me a lot.

Dr. Keeley Verrett Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to show us the breathing exercises. They were great. Truly appreciated. Lisa Alexander

This is Life Saving Simple Exercises especially for people above 50. Many thanks for convincing presentation. 😊

I’m learning more from these videos then pulmonary rehab. Ritalarrimore

It works! I just finished the staircase climb inhale-exhale. Thank you for making the solution very simple. God bless you.

I just had surgery and I am dealing with breathing issues. This helps me a great deal. Thank you

I thoroughly enjoyed these exercises, and your calming delivery. It's great to see the variations within different cultures of similar practices, such as the yoga breathing techniques also.

Clear, concise and charmingly put. Now part of my daily routine. Thank you,

I love the sniffles really helps! They all help so much but I love this one as I do it everywhere! It encourages you to take a really deep relaxing breath afterwards. Guess it's why you feel more relaxed after a good sob!!!

Now and then an angel descends on RU-vid to help others.....many thanks for taking the trouble to guide us with useful breathing exercises.

Hi Dear, Thank you so much for this wonderful video! God Bless You! Lots of love from Nashville!!!

Thank you I have felt a huge difference in my breathing. A Godsend.

Wow I just watch this video! I have ro admit she is right. I'll testify i just started with first round and I already feel a big major relief. Stay persistent people

These exercises really help break up the mucus in the lungs.

Very many thanks indeed, a super video and just at the right time as I've had two chest infections in the last six weeks.

Do you also have a printed version of these so that after I show my elderly parents the video I can leave behind a 'reminder' sheet?

Thank you so much, Lorraine. This was truly helpful whilst I am waiting for CABG. Will be doing this every day.

good and easy ones...amazingly effective too! thanx a looot!

The way you breathe is the natural, normal way. The advice of "in through the nose-out through the mouth" is helpful with exercise. Exhaling through pursed lips, slowly, helps air continue to get to the deepest part of the lungs even though you've already started to exhale-it helps to keep a negative pressure state to aid with pushing the air into the deep parts fo the lungs.

Thanks from Sweden...Good luck world wide with Corona my friends!!

A thank you for encouraging and sharing your knowledge.

I was blessed by your exercises.i appreciate you

Hi there, thanks for your videos, well done. I am a PT in pulmonary rehab outpatient program, and have a question about the Chest Fly breathing sequence. Could you please explain why you chose to exhale / inhale in the directions you have, my instinct on opening chest / stretching exercise would be inhale as the arms go back/chest opening, and exhale on the protracted/arms come forward direction. thanks.

Thanks for awesome and healthy exercise

Muy, muy buenos sus ejercicios !!. Gracias !!!!

Thank you so much to provide a wonderful video

Thanks , i teach my mother and working perfect as she dx with lung fibrosis , many thanks to you from middle east UAE .

Thanks for shariqng. In chest fly exercise you inhale as you bring the elbows near and excel while talking them back. But in all the other you did exact the opposite. So which way is right. Normally while expanding the intake is done.

GUYS if you have shortness of breath and weak abs... i had the same problem all week end, what happened was my abdomen sunk downward inside my torso, meaning my diaphram couldnt breathe for me. What I had to do was physically massage the muscles as i tensed them back into position, massaging each head where it should be (as best i could tell) starting with the upper two ( BUT PLEASE start with tensing back and pelvic floor before bringing abs back up) two days ago i was nearly having panic attacks now i have reclaimed my abs and my breath.. hope this helps someone

this is FANTASTIC. Thank you so much!

Dear Madam, Thank to teach us a nice n wonderful video. A.Rahman from Hong Kong.

Yes, in through the nose and out through the mouth

Very good..I like it...I will give a thumbs up

I love her she’s so calming

You are so good and nice! Thank you very much!!

Great understandable workout thank you😘

Question: I am a yoga instructor and I have been teaching many of these. However, I've been teaching 'chicken wings' differently as far as breath goes, just the opposite. Inhaling as you open the elbows and exhaling closing elbows. This feel much more natural and feels like you can breathe more deeply on the inbreath opening the chest than closing. Please explain why you do it the other way. Thanks sooo much!!

Video 1 in the 5 video series reviews the breathing technique. You are to breathe in through the nose, out through the mouth using your diapharagm. The stromach moves out when you inhale, and relaxes back down when you exhale.

great job, God bless you all.

Thank you starting tomorrow.
