BreatheYour Lungs
Can Be Trained.
A 6-week program built with pulmonologists, not around them.
Six weeks. One breath at a time.
Weeks 1 and 2 are fully visible below — no download required. We prove competence before asking for anything.
Diaphragmatic Foundation
We start where most programs skip: the diaphragm. You'll learn to breathe from your belly, not your chest. Three minutes each morning. No elevated heart rate. No rescue inhaler needed.
"Exhale twice as long as you inhale. Let the chest stay still."
Baseline measurement only. No target yet.
The complete 6-week
Breathe program.
You've seen Weeks 1 and 2. Weeks 3 through 6 include interval protocols, sustained effort sessions, and the hill-climb finale — all with annotated breathing cues and peak-flow targets your pulmonologist will recognise.
Your breathing-rate
reference chart.
No form. No email. Print it, stick it on your fridge, or save it to your phone. This is the tool your pulmonologist should have given you on the way out.
Your baseline — measure first thing each morning
Normal drop. No action needed.
Acceptable in Weeks 1–2
Target zone from Week 3 onward
Week 5–6 territory
Use rescue inhaler if below 50%
How to use this chart
Use a standard peak flow meter. Measure three times on three consecutive mornings. Take the highest reading as your personal best.
If you're below 80% of your personal best before exercise, run the 3-minute bronchial warm-up twice. If you're below 60%, rest.
These are safety thresholds, not goals. The program builds you toward the higher percentages gradually — not on day one.
Built on evidence.
Proven by people.
"I haven't used my rescue inhaler during a run since Week 4. I still carry it — but it stays in my pocket. That's the whole point."
"My pulmonologist actually asked me where I found this. He said the exhalation ratios are exactly what the research supports but nobody had packaged it accessibly."
"My daughter hands me the inhaler before every ride. Last week she forgot. I didn't notice until the end of the trail."
The Breathe protocol was reviewed by pulmonologists at two respiratory medicine practices in the US. The exhalation ratios and bronchial warm-up sequences align with current GINA guidelines for exercise-induced bronchoconstriction management. This program is a complement to — not a replacement for — your prescribed medical treatment.
