My favorite workout on the day I had to miss my training like today. Even if it's only for 10 - 15 mins.I recommend to do it for the 30 min though. I only did 6 rounds and uploaded the first 3 rounds here. My neighbors were outside and I felt bad annoying them with my wavemaster. I am afraid they will call.
Product Description Find the Warrior Spirit Inside Of You! Athletes and performers that depend on their lungs should be working out with Bas Rutten’s O 2 Trainer to increase endurance, stamina and performance! GET RESULTS TODAY!
Engineered to increase inspiratory (inhalation) muscle endurance, the O 2 Trainer is lightweight and designed to be used while performing nearly any exercise or activity. Whether you’re running, weight lifting, or rock climbing, the O 2 Trainer will train your lungs and body to perform at high levels with less oxygen, and teach them to maximize every breath. DESIGNED FOR EVERYONE AT ANY PERFORMANCE LEVEL! Change the intensity of the O 2 by increasing or decreasing the restriction of airflow with the screen inserts provided. Start with the 13mm screen and as endurance increases, decrease the size of the insert – it’s that easy! There are four additional screen inserts that can be used while at rest.
Whether you’re standing, sitting, or lying down, you can still exercise your lungs and diaphragm, with the Bas Rutten O 2 Trainer. My girlfriend and I got Bas Rutten’s O2 Trainers to help us prepare for climbing Mt. Having no experience with any kind of O2 training, I didn’t have any real expectations. My hope was that any improvement would be helpful. As I began using the trainer, I noticed that my breathing quickly adjusted to whatever filter I used. In the weeks shortly before climbing Kili, I was even using the trainer during my more intense exercises.
The real payoff was the summit day of Mt. It was the most difficult hike I had ever done, but not once did I ever feel the symptoms of altitude sickness. My breathing was fine and I felt good (exhausted but good). I liked the product so much, that I wrote a blog review of it for our readers at RoarLoud.net.
It is a great product and helped us reach our goal! Well it’s been over two years that I have been using the o2 trainer.
I use it about 3-4 times a week during weightlifting & cardio. I just turned 40 in September, & I can honestly say I’m in the best shape of my life, partly due to the trainer.
I have referred this to a buddy who has asthma, within a few months of using the trainer, he barely uses his inhaler that he couldn’t leave home without. My endurance and just overall well being is better since purchasing the o2 trainer. I’ve been a Bas fan since the early days of pancrase and just want to say “thanks” for making such a great product & Sharing this with the world.
Honestly the best product i have ever bought. I started by doing the shadow box routines with it and ended up running with it all the time. After about 2 or 3 weeks and moving up the resistance on it you literally dont get tired when you dont have it on.
My Stamina is ridiculous now, when I workout with friends they cant keep up anymore. For about 50 bux you cant go wrong. And if you ever had bronchitis this helps. I grew up with having it and wish i had this when i had it. The higher levels of resistance act the same way as those lung strengtheners exercises they make you do.
If you really want to up your workout game or have trouble with your breathing this helps out alot. I am a singer and I bought the O2 Trainer to supplement my performance and see what kind of development would occur with regular use. I used the heavy resistance caps (11-14) and did breathing exercises about 5 times a week. I slowly worked up in resistance each week, and after a few weeks was already feeling much stronger. I am able to sustain pitch longer due to increased lung capacity and actually I’ve actually increased pitch range and vibrato due to increased diaphragm strength and the proper posturing practice during regular O2 Trainer breathing exercises. I am also student of strength and conditioning, and with regular use of the O2 Trainer performing aforementioned breathing exercises I have seen my intense workouts (30-40mins) become easier and I am recovering faster in the short rest between sets. My running sprints became faster as well, and I am able to maintain a higher level of performance throughout the track workout.
I really enjoy the daily practice of deep breathing for its therapeutic qualities, and am always happier overall when I keep my practice regular with the O2 Trainer. I highly recommend this product to all who would require optimized use of the lungs And as humans we all need our lungs to breathe, so hey that’s everybody! I tend to breathe very shallow breaths, and while this can be useful for energy conservation, it can be a bad habit in the long run because sometimes you forget how to take big powerful breaths. This little tool enables you to take large, full breaths, probably like you’ve never done before. Even if you don’t use it during a workout (which is it’s primary use), just using it before a workout or even anything which requires a lot of energy will improve your physical and mental performance immensely. It reminds me of the Rickson Gracie breathing techniques.
Not only that, but it trains your lungs to naturally be able to take bigger breaths and pump more precious oxygen to your body during competition. It does exactly what it says, and I know several world champion fighters who use it. I’ve had the O2 Trainer for over a year now, & Buying it was probably the best investment I could’ve done to better my athleticism. Running every day is good, but running with the O2 trainer pushes the limits! ( Especially when running stadiums) I was able to run faster, longer, & harder all thanks to the O2 trainer. Really has helped a lot in my everyday life / boxing.
I used to train with the elevation mask, but honestly like this one more. It feels more natural to have than an actual mask. This truly works and will help you get to your goal, I definitely recommend!! I bought the o2 trainer a couple years ago to help supplement training for a grappling tournament. It is a viable method for increasing cardio, particularly for sprints and intervals- activities that are seminal to martial arts competitions. These days I primarily use it during interval (H.I.I.T) training but I feel its benefit when I am doing other traditional forms of cardio, such as running, particularly during the colder months. I believe that it is a cost effective tool and definitely worth the purchase price.
I like this better than the 02 Masks that are out there in terms of safety. You aren’t re-breathing Co2 from rapid breathing. I love how you can use this product sitting down at home (obviously not in a car 😉 ) or while cranking out a hard workout. The only thing I would definitely say that tends to be a turn off, especially in a gym or at the dojo is when the saliva starts drooling out of the airway ports. If you guys can solve that, you are looking at a major improvement. In conclusion this device is worth every penny!
I would buy another one if I needed to. I’ve had the O2 Trainer for over a year now, & Buying it was probably the best investment I could’ve done to better my athleticism. Running every day is good, but running with the O2 trainer pushes the limits! ( Especially when running stadiums) I was able to run faster, longer, & harder all thanks to the O2 trainer. Really has helped a lot in my everyday life / boxing. I used to train with the elevation mask, but honestly like this one more.
It feels more natural to have than an actual mask. This truly works and will help you get to your goal, I definitely recommend!! I started using the O2 trainer a little over a year ago.
I am a Krav Maga practitioner and I was looking for something that would help in building up my endurance. I came across the O2 trainer, done some research on it and decided to give it a try. I started off using it while just doing normal routines around the house, I would use it on my training days and when I would feel comfortable with my progress, I’d add a smaller hole. And now over a year later I cant’ believe how much its boosted my training and endurance.
Just recently I went through my Level 4 test and after 4 1/2 I hit my second wind and was ready to keep right on trucking! The O2 is straight legit! I highly recommended this to anyone looking to take their training to the next level! As a long time asthma sufferer and athlete, taking inhalers and exhaustion from attacks became more than annoying and depressing.
I read training at altitude may help with my issues, but living in the Philadelphia area; high altitude training wasn’t an option. When I read about El Guapo talking about the O2 trainer and how it helped him with his asthma related issues, I couldn’t dismiss the idea. So after having an asthma attach in the first round of my Muay Thai fight; I was onboard to give it a shot. During my last kickboxing camp, I began using the O2 and was more than impressed with the results. Every time I finished a session with the trainer, I felt like I could breathe in the ocean. I began using it not only for cardio during my training sessions, but for breathing exercises for everyday life and have been more than ecstatic with the results. It’s been approximately 3 years now and I have not had an asthma attack.
I’ve even recommend this “miracle” to my fellow asthma sufferers at work. Hopefully they’ll have the same results as I enjoy. You’re the Man. Like some of the other reviewers I also have asthma, and it would occasionally mess with my training. I started using the trainer while sitting at my computer or while doing random things around the house. Eventually I worked up to being able to lift and run with it, but again, even the very basic exercises worked great. I feel like the trainer has really helped with my aama because I seem to be taking my inhales less and less, and it feels less like I’m breathing battery acid during my workouts.
My advice is to start slow, and stick with a daily program. Used to be a competitive athlete and decided to get back into shape. Being in my early forties, I figured anything that might speed up that process would be great. Im a longtime fan of Bas and his workout ‘tapes’ so I ordered the O2 Trainer. Watched the video that comes with it and was surprised to hear that it could be beneficial when used just sitting and doing breathing exercises, so I tried using it that way first. I noticed a difference after the first day – I felt like I was able to take more air in while running.
I love that it’s easy to clean, and that there are so many different filter attachments to change the training intensity level — that makes it so you don’t ‘outgrow’ the device quickly. Great product — thanks Bas! I bought this a year ago and love it! I was researching between this and the other face hugging mask type but decided after alot of reading to go with this one. I use it to do interval training on the bike at the gym and I feel great after. It definitely makes you work hard but opens up the lungs good. Plus don’t have to worry about breaking out from a mask or the mask getting all stinky and funky.
This one is simple to clean and sanitize. The only negative thing that I read in all the reviews of this was people complaining about too much saliva in their mouths and all over the mouthpiece. EASY Fix, simply when you feel alot of saliva building up, remove the mouthpiece swallow and re-insert. Problem solved. That’s how I figured out to deal with it. Have a towel as well.
But this thing will push you! It you want to up your cardio and conditioning this thing is awesome. Could Bas be wrong? Keep it in my gym bag all the time.
I used to have Asthma and bad cardio thresholds, I came across the O2 trainer. Its a Y shaped apparatus with a draw and blow tunnel, on the draw tunnel there’s frame to switch screens, each screen has a different hole size the 10th one being the smallest, not only is this a safe way to simulate altitude training but it’s better, because you don’t recycle large amounts of carbon dioxide if you had used a gas mask type. Progressively as your lungs strengthen (mine did) I’m using the smallest hole screen available, my asthma is cured and my cardiovascular thresholds have increased greatly. It’s a great product, Thank you Bas! The best product to enhance your ability to the next level, you notice the difference when you use it, it helps 100% with your breathing and will teach and control and exercise your lungs to a new level. I worked out without the O2 trainer, and with it, you notice the difference, I wanted to test it so I worked out with it for 2 weeks and just kept on switching level of breathing intake than stopped.
I worked out with. Our it for two weeks, you can tell the difference O2 trainer is a great product and I highly recommend it You will notice and be ahead of your competition Not much money to spend for something that is going to do nothing but advance you ahead of the game Godspeed and Thanks Bas.
I purchased the O2 trainer 3 years ago and the results are magnificent, I can easily run a 5k, and that’s on a weekly basis when I want to run at the park which is about 6 miles long. My stamina and endurance has increased gradually, I notice I don’t get winded as much as I use to when doing a cardio exercise. This beats those so called oxygen mask that you see most guys wearing at the gym which looks silly in my opinion. I really enjoy this product for what it put me through and how hard it made me work for improvements on my fitness goals.
I have been using the O2 trainer since it came out with great results. Lung capacity has increased and you can feel results usually within a week of using the O2 trainer. I have also use it especially during my heavy bag work classes and recommend that my fighters pick it up and it has definently made a huge difference in all of my fighters across the board and is a must tool at my gym. My opinion and suggestion is to use the guards starting with 1 and slowly move up based on your conditioning level and don’t go too fast too soon! Great product and mahalo Bas. I purchased a O2 trainer not only to improve my stamina for Rugby and MMA, but i use it in the mountains aswell while training for Trailrunning and Survivalruns! I have had some problems with astma since i was young, but now i implement the O2 trainer, in my training, my breathing and lung capacity has hugly improved!
For me this little device is awesome! It not only has worked for me improving my stamina, but also helped me improving the condition of my lungs. I would buy this thing again without thinking. The O2 trainer is a great product to improve your conditioning.
It may look funny, but it is lightweight and comfortable. Its just like using a mouthpiece for football or having a snorkel in your mouth. The material is soft and comes with many different end caps with various size holes that limit the intake. I used it in my marathon training.
Its perfect for short and intermediate distance runs and cardio work. On long runs i found my jaw would get tired from having it in my mouth continuously for over 2 hours, but that is the only drawback. The O2 is an excellent tool for improvement, especially if using the “mask” is too extreme for you. Okay, so as Bas has said in his explanation of this product it is a unique design.
The fact that it allows you to breath out normally, but breathe in with resistance is unique however, I had already developed pretty strong lungs from breathing through choke holds so I stared on 14 out of 16 (higher numbers being smaller holes) and am now using the 16 with relative ease. That being said, it was great to have a more functional way to train my cardio portion besides having something tied around my neck or having to use my own hand to cup over my mouth and nose. The biggest problems that I had with it were; that it only took me about 2 months of on again off again training to max it out (1), that the nose piece didn’t work hardly at all (2), and the design caught a lot of saliva and didn’t do a very good job of keeping it in your mouth (3). And personally I find it easier to breathe out than in normally so for me to max out on breathing in so easily begs the question “Why do we need to breath out easily?” But, I am an instructor also and although I tackled it with ease many of my students have bad breathing habits and this helped to give them a bit of a handicap (and this is what I think it is good for no breathing mask is going to give your body more oxygen, but if you can learn to breathe properly then you will have a lot more coming in and that is good). So overall, I think it is a great product for the breathing impaired but if you already have exceptional lung strength then I recommend you go with another mask that isn’t as messy and will tax you more. PS: And one more thing don’t do what I did because what Bas says about starting low and taking it slow is important (otherwise you will end up straining your lungs and making them weaker instead of stronger). The only reason I did what I did is because I already knew that I had very very good breathing all around as a result of more than 20 years of mixed martial arts training (so follow what Bas says) That’s it, have fun.
I have found the o2 trainer one of the best bits of equipment I have ever brought it really works! The effect is noticeable in a 24 hour period and the more you use it the better the recovery. I use the o2 mostly for thai boxing and mma training but have found it works well when using it when i go for a run or weight lifting, For me the only downside is the nose clip as i find it quite tight and after about 10 mins i have to remove it. I have recommended a few people try the o2 trainer and haven’t known anyone to be disappointed in the product at all. If you want to push your training to the next level this is the product for you I could write all day about the benefits I’ve found in using it. Start off slow take your time to build up the levels and be consistent then every couple of weeks try your workout without the trainer you will be amazed at how your recovery has improved.
This product works buy it and try for yourself. I absolutely love my O2 Trainer! I use it in all aspects of my training, whether it is running hill sprints, sparring, or lifting weights. It is very durable, easy to clean, and easy to use. I have had my 02 Trainer for almost 2 years now and it is one of the things that is always in my gym bag. It is easy to take anywhere and can make the most simplest of workouts even that more challenging. I sometimes keep mine in my office at work, and do sets of push-ups or squats while wearing it during my lunch break!
I recommend this product to anyone who wants to either take their training to the next level, or simply increase their fitness in a shorter time frame. I use this when I really want to push my cardio fitness to a new level. For triathlon training I use it on the treadmill doing sprints and on the spin bike too. I sometimes use it if doing some circuit weights training.
Its a good quality product and I’m very happy with it. My mates think I’m crazy because it looks pretty hard core so just that alone has been cool but this definitely makes you fitter and improves your breathing efficiency. I’ve learnt that I have been breathing wrong my whole time and that I must inhale through my mouth more! Great product and I’m a big fan- Cheers Bas! I began using the O2 Trainer four years ago, and it was the best decision I have ever made for my training and well being. When I try to explain to people how it feels to use the Trainer, I always use the comparison of taking practice swings with a donut weight on a baseball bat and then taking swings without the weight.
That’s the kind of power you build in your lungs and diaphragm whilst using the O2 Trainer. Originally I purchased it just for my trail runs throughout Cleveland, and then began integrating it into my weight training program and most recently have used it, to great success, during my DDPYoga sessions.
It was easy to convince my friend, who does long distance running, of the benefits of the O2 Trainer vs the masks sold at major retailers. I am positive he will see the awesome results that I have seen and felt over the years. Thank you Bas for such a great product! Recently received the O2Trainer and I am extremely pleased with the product. First off, the product shipped and arrived at my door faster than I usually get a confirmation that I even ordered something from Amazon. The packaging is really neatly done and the layout of the box is pretty cool. Obviously you don’t buy this product for the packaging, but they still did a really good job to make it look professional.
I tend to run between 3-5 miles on any given day and have been moving up a size every 7 days. I basically just trusted that it was doing it’s job for the last 3 weeks, and then I decided to take a late night run without it.wow. I felt like I had an oxygen tank on my back – I am someone who consistently runs out of breath before my legs give out on a run. However this time it was my legs that needed the break. This is huge for me and I’m really happy I came across this product.
I really don’t write reviews for anything but felt compelled for this. BUY THIS PRODUCT – even if you do not normally suffer from shortness of breath. It is a no lose situation. Training your lungs will only benefit your cardiovascular system and this product is second to none for that. Thanks Bas – you could have thrown your name on a crappy product and knew people would still buy it. But instead you decided to make something that is ahead of it’s time.
The O2 Trainer is extremely effective at making one aware of their lung capacity and just how much air they AREN’T taking in on a regular basis. Doing the stationary breathing exercises for the first time lights up all the deep core muscles you’ve spent your life being unaware of. It doesn’t take long to acclimate to the lower level filters but when you’ve reached your initial ceiling it is clear as day on how much you need to improve. As long as you don’t cheat yourself and half-ass the effort then you definitely will feel the difference. Breathing training is definitely overlooked & taken for granted by most and this product provides a convenient way to start habitually improving your athletic performance. The only downside is that there’s no spit trap (I can’t really see how they would’ve implemented one without messing up the air flow) so you will have to prepare for drool from the inhale/exhale caps during prolonged use.
That means it’s only really ideal for certain kinds of exercise like jump rope, sprints, treadmill, cycling/stationary bike, some circuit training movements, etc. It’s not great for the heavy bag, shadowboxing or sparring because saliva will get all over the place from the rapid exhalation during striking.
Either way keep a towel on hand as you get used to it. It’s not difficult to find what works with the O2 Trainer in your routine once you’re used to it. I have asthma and was in search of something to help increase my lung capacity so I don’t have to rely on rescue inhalers as often as I do. This is my first week using the O2 trainer so I don’t know if it will cute my asthma but I am hopeful. I am starting with deep breaths in a rest position. Don’t want to over work my lungs and cause them to collapse! First impression of the trainer is that it is a good quality piece of equipment that I will continue to use.
The only downfall is that the mouth piece does not fit my teeth that well, I have to hold it to my mouth with my hand or use my lips to hold on to it. The part where you put your teeth is shallow. I have straight teeth so my teeth are not the issue. Other than that, great purchase! After playing soccer all my life I have recently got into weight training in an attempt to put on size. Finding it difficult, I began to limit my cardio exercise in an attempt to conserve muscle mass.
Initially this caused fitness issues for soccer and I was on the verge of giving up and accepting that I (personally) can’t have both size and maintain a high level of fitness. I then watched Bas on an episode of the JRE podcast discussing the O2 trainer and my curiosity was peaked. Shipping to Australia was fast and I was immediately impressed by the quality of the product. Moreso however, I have been blown away by the results.
Using the O2 trainer I can get the maximum cardiovascular workout with the minimum amount of calorie expenditure. This has allowed me to be far more efficient in my exercising and I have been steadily putting on size while my fitness has actually been increasing, despite the reduced exercise time. I feel like it was designed for me. It’s changing my life.
I’ve had the O2 Trainer for a few months now and I’m blown away with how well it works. Prior to, I’d been using the Training Mask, which wasn’t bad – the velcro wears out after having to wash it from excessive sweat then doesn’t hang on your face as well. But with the O2 Trainer, I can use it when I’m driving, on the treadmill or hitting the bag. I’ve felt my cardio improve dramatically in the short time I’ve had it. Follow the directions and be ready for your workouts to go to a whole new level! Good luck all! No lies here, no gimmicks, the O2 Trainer WORKS!
I even think that they can promote some more benefits to the O2 than they do, like how it helps enhance mood and relieves tension from the shoulder blade area if you hold a lot of tension there. That’s been my experience.
I use it 5-6 days a week for my workouts but even use it on off days because I just feel like it helps my body out. Just pop it in while you watch TV or are walking around the house, even for just a few minutes, and you’ll notice how used your diaphragm gets to breathing the right way. I didn’t use it to build towards working out without it and seeing the results, I just like the execution I get on each move when I have it in, it helps you get the best out of all of your reps.
There are also so many adjustments that it works for people at all levels. I seriously don’t have a bad thing to same about this device, it’s helped be big time in my day to day. Ok Im 26 and a huge fan of Bas Rutten!!! I would love to meet him one day! But Ive always been extremely active.
I get bored allot so I go out and run hills lol or lift weights. But conditioning use to be a strength of mine, but now not so much. Gasping in my normal day when Im sitting at the table began to cause me some trouble, I couldn’t ever catch my breath no matter how hard I try and I was just sitting there! Which makes no sense cuz I train cross fit at least 4X a week. WHY was I having so much trouble breathing when I’m active and my grandparents weren’t active and they could breath better than ever!??
Then EVERYTHING changed when I found the O2 Trainer! Ive been using the O2 Trainer for a few months now.
Im up to the 5millimeter screen! I Love the fact I have more lung capacity during the average day! I can catch my breath using 1/4 the lung effort i use to use!
I feel Much stronger and much more healthy! I use to gasp for air randomly throughout the days and my grandma and aunt were worried that I might have asthma but now they say “HEY! I noticed you’re not gasping anymore!” So honestly this is my favorite training device! I feel like its my secret weapon which gives me an edge on my competition! The quality is very god and easy to clean, set up(one of my fav parts), take with you, and I really like the army style green!
The ONLY down sides to it is: -sometimes after 30-45 mins my jaw starts to hurt, a little discomfort really.After being used for 20 mins spit starts to fly out of the side and run out lol maybe a drain hole could be made on it? Or where spit won’t get in there? Lol -And your throat gets a lil dry. But hey its all worth it in my opinion!!
Honesty anyone who has trouble breathing in their day to day life would GREATLY benefit from the O2 Trainer. I do want to talk about it to everyone but I do also want to keep this to myself so that I have the upper had 😉 lol. I haven’t tried any other similar products. I can speak to the effectiveness of this product.
The packaging and storage of the device is very nice. Swapping any of the provided components is super easy and the product appears to be very durable. There are also nose clips included so you can force the breathing to only happen via the device itself. I started using it for calesthenics and doing shadow boxing. After a few weeks, I definately notice a marked improvement. I can exercise longer and at a higher pace without gassing out as easily. As you progress to the pieces with the smaller and smaller intake holes, you notice how much harder it becomes.
I would definately recommend the o2 trainer to others. I have a Garmin Forerunner 235 and I’ve been running in the late afternoon. My VO2 max has always bounced between 32 and 33. My doctor has diagnosed me with exercise induced Asthma.
After using the O2 trainer the first few times I could feel that my lungs were tired just like going to the gym and working other muscle groups I could feel my lungs being worked. I have just taken it easy. I began by using the O2 trainer without the nose clip. As I’ve gotten used to that I added the nose clip and eased up the numbers in difficulty. After my last run I looked at my VO2 max and it was a 34!
I’m excited for the future with my O2 Trainer. I bought two of the O2 Trainers when I heard about it on The Church of What’s Happening Now podcast with Joey and Bas and when I heard Bas talk about how it cured his asthma, I figured I’d give it a shot. I decided to buy one for myself to try for training and also to see if it could better my breathing. But the main reason I bought it, was for my little sister who has asthma who needs a new inhaler once a month, she’s been using the 02 Trainer now for about a month doing the exercises that the instructions suggest and we took her off her inhaler and substituting her daily inhaler intake with instead doing the exercises suggested by the 02 Trainer and she has been doing well. Hopefully the 02 Trainer will do for my sister as it did for Bas. The only cons I can think of is it does make your jaw fatigued from biting down to keep it in your mouth and all the excess saliva but other than that it is definitely worth the money just for the breathing exercises to improve your breathing or asthma as far as I can see. So to start off it was a little bit of a bumpy ride to get the post office to deliver me my 02 Trainer.
After about 2 weeks of stress and annoyance it was finally delivered. As crazy as it sounds it was totally worth it! I originally wanted the O2 Trainer to help me with my high level hiking and solo camping trips. My hopes were to build up better lung and cardio strength; so that I can reach the next level. Well, I always thought that I had good cardio however, I realized that I was only a beginner. After 2 weeks of multiple daily uses I’m noticing that stair running and many of my usual cardio workouts are not as difficult as usual.
With use of this product and a few other changes I’ve already lost over 15 pounds and I’m feeling great. Without a doubt, El Guapo’s claims are true about the benefits of this product. Thank you to the 02 Trainer!!
I’m excited for this year’s trips and see how much I’ve improved on the trails. I love the O2 trainer, It for sure boosted my endurance and really strengthened my core, I have some extra little muscles popping up all around my core. Mostly I just love the control I have over my breath. I do rounds of kick boxing with it, It is brutal but if I do rounds without it, I keep power in my strikes late in the workout and pour on the volume. 5 stars for the device and for Basito, one of my most favorite people ever. I even got the retweet from Bas of me using the trainer, really made my day. I have used the O2 trainer for a few weeks and it has helped my endurance to some degree.
However, I am not happy with the design because it doesn’t allow for easy swallowing and by only breathing through my mouth, my gets dry or too much saliva. I find that I need to take it out of my mouth at least 5 times to simply swallow during a 30 minute workout. Additionally, the nose plug doesn’t work well for my nose.
For someone like me, an average fitness guy trying for the next level, I don’t think the O2 trainer is the right choice. I am going to try the mask next. I purchased the O2 Trainer about a month or two ago and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Unlike the altitude masks you can really adjust the resistance with the varying aperture settings and for cyclists you can take it off mid ride to breathe, manipulate, drink, or eat and then replace it without stopping. This would allow a higher caliber athlete to use the higher numbered pieces (or closer to them depending on the subject) in a situation like cycling on a highway or climbing on a rock face and not have to worry about something going wrong and not being able to take off a device like the masks quickly.
I am not a fan of something being attached to my face that is a breathing regulator because you might want to remove it to spit (which is just part of the regular usage) at some point in time or to take a break if you need it. Generally, a beginner should follow the instructions and start at the appropriate point and slowly build up resistance in the lungs before progressing to avoid straining the lungs but there are individuals whom can endure these advanced settings because their athletic abilities are higher than the average person. This product is advantageous for whatever your skill set or aptitude. For hiking I use a setting that allows more air intake but I scale it down when I am doing core workouts and stretching. I use a third setting for the breathing exercises which is really the first indicator of how effective this device can be for someone. I would recommend using a plastic cup to coincide with the O2 trainer if you are in a gym just so you can clear out the device from saliva without having to leave the area.
Not too many people are going to just jump right into using this so if you take out of the box the first day and attempt the breathing exercise you are on your way to a great start. I try to do the breathing exercises before my workouts to open up the airways and really warm up the chest expansion motions.
This also mentally prepares me for whatever activity or movement I am doing as breathing hard and exerting yourself is apart of the process. Instead of having to warm up through different motions and feel sluggish I do these breathing exercises and by the time I start my workout I will be using proper technique from the onset solidifying my engagement to whatever I am interfacing with. While this device does not provide you with any additional oxygen you do get an invigorating feeling if you leave the trainer in your mouth after the breathing exercises until my heart rate and breathing resume normal tempo; I do find when my breathing resumes I feel more focused and energized as my body is consuming the additional oxygen coming inward. It is with this reason I try an not train with this device before I fall asleep that oxygen will give you a second wind. I am now trying my breathing exercises with half the intervals being done normally and the other half conducted while i am lying on my chest so that it helps simulate a more accurate inhalation from paddling on a surfboard. Surfing made me realize the range of motion that is used while inhaling and that most people have an altered inhalation because of this. Its not to say it is more or less difficult, just different.
Some people might find this adds resistance while others might not feel anything, it just depends on the individual so be open minded to this new experience. It is just another example of how differing individuals can scale this product to fit their particular needs without having to make an additional equipment purchases to facilitate them. I couldn’t recommend this device enough to people to increase their stamina and lung capacity.
Bottom line is it just works. You can hype a product all you want but if it works from the first usage onward you know it is legit. There are a multitude of options to choose from in terms of resistance so it is really all up to you to decide how in depth you want go. Think of how sedentary most of us are even if we are athletic. There are points in the day in which we are transitioning from one activity or location to another and we have to engage our time and attention with those constant changes. This device can allow you to train a critical portion of your body all while never having to leave your seat. I wouldn’t recommend any short cuts to hard work and dedication with in the realm of athleticism but this product will allow you to utilize your time within the day to work on your cardio without having to be running, on an elliptical, riding a bike, or putting in work swimming back and forth at a pool.
This device will not supplant the benefits of those exercises (this product is essentially the greatest accessory to maximizing the internal efficiency of your cardiovascular system as well as your exertion output you would be doing with those activities) but it will allow you to keep working on your inspiratory breathing even while doing the banal aspects of life such as: housework, preparing and cooking your meals, or watching your favorite shows(only in the privacy of your own home please so theater goers don’t have to despise you). There are no detriments from the usage O2 trainer (if following the proper procedures recommended) only dividends to be yielded.
As a singer it most definitely helps build sustain and power in your voice. I first thought that training the inhale won’t improve the exhale but I was wrong. Correct breathing and control of your diaphragm is key to great singing and I realized after a few days of O2 Trainer use that I was really lacking in that department. Would have liked an extra exhale flap instead of the default biggest opening cap since that one is useless but for this price and the quality of product, it’s 100% worth it. This device is absolutely perfect for our submarine racing team (a small market, but still, we love it).
Its essentially a sprint cycling race underwater, breathing through a scuba regulator. Even with a high performance regulator there is a substantial added inspiratory resistance that a high altitude mask or the like just can’t replicate. The O2 trainer makes training rides feel more like the real thing, and that makes a huge huge difference in anticipating and raising our in-water performance. This is big from a safety standpoint too since breathing pressurized gas underwater changes your physiological response, and this helps train pilots to recognize the difference between “good” lung stress and barotrauma. We have one for each of our pilots. I heard about the 02 trainer while listening to the Joe Rogan show with the Bas. After the show I went on line an purchased the o2 trainer.
Once I received the 02 trainer I put it to the test or should I say it put me to the test. Its been 3-months and I can say at 59 years old I have increased my endurance and stamina. Its east to use once you understand it.
Just put in your mouth and start punching and kicking the heavy bag. When your done hitting with the bag go over to your BAS (Body Action System) put the DVD in and workout with the master. Thank GOD the BAS wasn’t present because hitting the pause button is a lot easier when he’s not standing in front of you.
The first month was rough but now I can feel the difference. This is a great product and I highly recommend. The o2 trainer helps older individuals get that extra air in the lungs. I guess I can say the co2 trainer can get you berthing like your in your 20s in no time. Thanks for a great product that works. A-1 A-1 A-1.
Greetings, I purchase the O2 trainer to help make my lungs more efficent. I was in a wreak and suffered broken ribs with a collapsed lung.
On top of that, I have an absess in my other lung. Before the accident, I smoked for a decade before I was injured.
I quit smoking and exercise regularly. I was watching LWC when Mr.
Rutten cam on and talked. He mentioned he had products so I took a gander. I looked at the O2 trainer. Itcsounded like something that I could use to make my lungs more efficient.
I am currently on the 3rd stage and I feel a difference in my ability to breath. I wear it at the gym to make my lungs better. It is a fine tool to have and I will continue to use it.
Rutten for the spectacular training aid he has provided for me. I wish you all the best and God bless. It’s great well made product. The only reason I’m giving it a 4 star is it’s a little awkward when compared to other breathing trainers I’ve used.
If they could find some day to secure this to your face so you didn’t have to hold it with your mouth that would be awesome. Again that’s my only issue. It’s a five star product if you don’t care about that. It seems to work well although I can’t back that up with any data. I feel like I can breath easier after heavy cardio activity. I’m kind of a mouth breather anyway so it’s nearly perfect for my breathing style.
Over all great product and I would recommend it if you’re in the market it’s the best you’ll find. I love the O2 Trainer, i feel like it makes my workouts much more time valuable. The body reaches a exhasted state much quicker, which means i am faster to reach my wall and thus am able to feel like each work out is building my strength and fitness. I love the feeling of working the lungs and air ways, i feel like it targets my core in a very unique way, and have already felt improvements in my cardio vascular system. This is a stand out product in a very flooded market. Cant wait to see how much my fitness improves because of this product.
