Orono - Rebuilding Energy and Endurance at Any Age - Virtual
with Carole Freeman B.S. RRT, Respiratory Therapist & Breathing Specialist Call 866-4119 for More Information
Rebuilding Energy and Endurance at Any Age
Yes, it’s true, you can, literally, breathe new life into your body. Every cell in your body is dependent on oxygen to create energy. And the amount of oxygen available to every cell in your body and brain is dependent on the quality of your breathing pattern and function. This class will train you, and your entire respiratory system, to be more efficient at delivering blood, oxygen, glucose, and nutrients to all those cells. Whether you’re an athlete or not, the secret to greater strength and endurance starts, and ends, with the strength of your respiratory system.
Course Outline
Week 1; Breathing Pattern Awareness
Developing an awareness of common breathing pattern dysfunctions.
Learn optimal breathing and begin awareness of your own breathing patterns.
Several activities will be included to establish your own fitness baseline.

Week 2; Respiratory Muscle Training
Learn how to improve the strength of the respiratory system and inspiratory muscles.
