Welcome to the world of Isocapnic training! Whether you’re an athlete, a wellness enthusiast, or someone looking to optimize their breathing, the Isocapnic BWB is here to help you unlock your full potential. In this post, we’ll guide you through getting started with Your Isocapnic BWB and everything you need to know to set up and use your BWB for the first time. Let’s dive in!
1. Unboxing Your BWB
When your Isocapnic BWB arrives, it’s like opening the door to better breathing. Inside the box, you’ll find:
The main device
A rebreather bag
A mouthpiece or mask (depending on the model)
Carefully unpack everything and ensure you have all the parts before moving on.
2. Preparing Your BWB
Before your first use, it’s essential to clean your device. Follow these simple steps:
Rinse all the parts with cool water and a mild soap.
Let everything dry thoroughly before assembling the device.
This quick cleaning ensures your BWB is fresh and ready to use.
3. Assembling the Device
Putting your BWB together is straightforward:
Attach the rebreather bag to the main device.
Secure the mouthpiece or mask, depending on your model.
And that’s it! Your BWB is now ready for action.
4. Setting Up the App
Your BWB experience is powered by the Isocapnic app. Here’s how to get started:
Download the app from your device’s app store.
Log in or create an account.
Navigate to the “Start Here” program, designed specifically for first-time users.
The app will guide you through each step and help you build confidence with the device.
5. Getting Started with Your Isocapnic BWB with Your First Workout
With your BWB assembled and the app loaded, it’s time for your first workout:
Place the BWB in your mouth or secure the mask.
Blow gently into the device to inflate the rebreather bag.
Start the “Start Here” program in the app.
Breathe gently in sync with the on-screen metronome.
6. Breathing Technique and Progression
As you get comfortable, begin to:
Gradually increase the volume of each breath until you’re engaging your full lung capacity.
Focus on diaphragmatic breathing: breathe from your ribs and diaphragm, not your shoulders.
Finish each inhale by stretching your lung cavity, and complete each exhale with a vigorous squeeze until your lungs are empty.
This technique maximizes the benefits of your training and builds respiratory strength.
7. Taking Breaks and Building Strength
Remember, it’s okay to take breaks. If you need to pause the workout, just hit pause in the app and rest. The first few sessions can be challenging, but don’t worry—your strength and endurance will improve over time.
8. Post-Workout Care
After your session:
Rinse the BWB parts with cool water.
Disinfect using a 3:1 solution of water and antiseptic mouthwash.
Hang the parts to dry in a cool, shaded place.
Once dry, store your BWB until next time.
