This is for all you guys who go to the gym regularly, or are hoping to get into working out.

Training Mask 2.0 - Elevation Training Mask

simulates high altitudes, using state of the art breathing valves and a bunch of patents and stuff. I haven't customized my altitude yet, I just used what came out of the box and haven't added any valves or what not. I'm not sure what altitude is the default.

You can read all about what it does in the link above, I'll just let you guys know what my first experience was like:

I started out my workout using it for planks, supermans, crunches. and leg lifts. You need to control your breathing to get the maximum effect. There's also certain breathing excersizes you can do just by sitting or standing up. All these thoroughly kicked my ass in a short amount of time. My core is pretty sore but the real test will see how it feels tomorrow.

As for cardio, using the pace i usually use on an elliptical for a 15-20 minute work out, i was winded and had to take it off after 2 minutes, and use it at intervals. this thing really kicks your ass. again I don't know what the default elevation it comes with is.

the only negatives i see so far is:
-It will leave a mark on your face, not too much and it will go away.
-Not too beginner friendly (to me this is a given, since it was my first day using it, i'm expecting it to kick my a ss especially hard for a week or two.)
-kind of sucks having to take it off and on if you have headphones

I'll let you guys know how i feel tomorrow but so far this thing is pretty badass. the customizations for it are awesome too, you can get a darthvader skin, bane skin, subzero, and so on.

Yeah, why pay $79 when you can just use saran wrap!
You can pass out faster too.
 
I don't work out and my breathing sucks. If they make a business/office version with a slot for sipping coffee and eating donuts, I'll get one. Then again, if you take big enough bites of donuts, air restriction is already in play. Not sure why it doesn't make me feel healthier. :p
 
this shiet is amazing. honestly, second time you use it, is soo much easier than the first. also for the rest of the day you feel yourself breathing a lot deeper

if you have issues with shortness of breathe, i'd buy it, and just use it casually for abdominal or breathing excersizes.

Also this thing REALLY helps you deal with stress a lot better, especially if you get anxiety. it makes slow breathing habitual long throughout the day after using it. I have too move my fair share of heavy duty ladders and treadmills throughout the day, and this thing brought my endurance WAY up. I almost want to call this a miracle mask, its so great. I'm trying very hard not to be biased and watch out for a placebo effect, but seriously this this is amazing.

The best way i can describe after effects of using this semi-long term is you feel 'refreshed.' having strong breathing muscles has really taken me up a notch in life.

you buy it at any sports authority, we have a 30 day return policy, so if you try it and don't like it you can bring it back. also safeway gives out 20% coupons for sports authority a lot, i would definetly try this thing out.

WARNING: May cause you too look douchy if you wear in public
