How?
By
simply increasing the amount of oxygen you are able to inhale into
your lungs!
Plus,
increase the efficiency at which your lungs use oxygen, and expel
carbon dioxide.
Think about it.
If you were able to take in more oxygen, you would be able to
accomplish so much more than
you do now. The fact is, most people, including world-class
athletes, only inhale about 70% of their total lung capacity
throughout the day. Of course, the percentage increases to about 80%
during exercise, or other stressful activities. Even the world's
best trained runners and swimmers never use more than about 90% of
their total lung capacity.
PLUS, since we are not normally able to inhale 100% our total VO2
capacity, we are also not able to expel 100% of our carbon dioxide
(CO2) from our lungs when exhaling.
But what if you could maximize your oxygen intake level to 100% for
workouts, practices, and competitions?
You might be wondering why you haven't been able to maximize your
overall lung capacity with traditional physical training methods?
It's simply because, you are using PHYSICAL training methods ON YOUR
EMOTIONS! You see, your negative emotions actually possess the power
to "weigh down" your physical abilities, frequently to the point
where it adversely affects your physical strength, running speed,
jumping height, and yes, even the amount of oxygen you are able to
inhale into your lungs.
By using this specialized PowerCount8
Oxygen Intake Enhancement protocol, you will quickly be able to
"release the emotional restraints" that your mind and body impose on
your lung capacity, and thus have been holding you back from
achieving your FULL potential!
Plus, not only will you learn how you can
maximize your VO2 intake, you will also be able to exhale
considerably more CO2 from your lungs, in addition!
Don't you think that increased oxygen
could improve your life in so many wonderful ways? |
PowerCount8
Protocol for
Increasing
Your Oxygen Intake Levels
WARNING
It will take some time for you to feel
comfortable with using this technique to increase your oxygen
intake.
It will take some GETTING USED TO HAVING
MORE OXYGEN in your lungs!
Do not use this
technique for the first time -- just before a competitive event.
You MUST start
using this technique weeks IN ADVANCE
of your first competitions.
Using this technique
requires a gradual progression. It is best to start using this
before your practices, until you feel completely
comfortable with the added oxygen. Otherwise, you may injure
yourself.
Increasing your oxygen intake is a
gradual process, NOT an overnight
event!
DO THIS:
Here's how to dramatically increase the
amount of oxygen you're able to take into your lungs...
Inhale 3 maximum DEEP breaths, and exhale
each breath slowly. But be careful not to hyperventilate.
Doing this will help you stretch out your lungs.
Once you have thoroughly stretched out your lungs as far as you
think they will go, then take another deep breath.
This time, assess the depth (amount of air intake) of your breath on
a 1-10 scale, where 10 is your estimate of your maximum amount of
air you can breathe in.
After you have done that, just breathe
normally while you complete the following routine...
Begin repeating the following
phrases:
Even though my breathing is tight and constricted,
87654321
I CHOOSE to
release my inner tension now.
Even though I am feeling some stress,
87654321
I CHOOSE to relax and release
this stress now.
Even though I have this carbon dioxide remaining in my lungs,
87654321
I
CHOOSE to release all of it now.
Even though I can only fill my lungs just so far,
87654321
I CHOOSE to allow
my lungs to take in more air.
Even though I feel like my lungs can't
stretch any more,
87654321
I CHOOSE to allow my lungs to stretch more.
Even though I still feel some tension in my chest,
87654321
I CHOOSE to let
go of all this tension in my chest.
Even though I think I can't inhale any more
air,
87654321
I
CHOOSE give myself permission to take in even more.
Now, take
another maximum deep breath and assess the new depth (with the
increased amount of air intake)
on the 1-10 scale. Then, repeat the entire process again.
Your ability to increase your oxygen intake
(with the added lung strength)
will improve as
you repeat this process on
a daily basis.
If you have a practice or workout session going on today.
Just before you begin your practice or workout session, use the
above technique for increasing your oxygen intake.
But be careful at first, as this could cause some dizziness and/or
light-headedness in the beginning. But it will go away after you get
used to its intense effects.
So, be careful when standing up, and get up SLOWLY.
If you have a
competition or a game going on today.
After you have already been using this technique for a few weeks to
increase your oxygen intake, you can then
start to use it just before your competitions/games.
With repeated use, this technique
can greatly enhance your performance....in every area of your life!
As I've said before, believing in these techniques is not
necessary in order for you to gain positive results!
Remember, practice makes perfect!
And,
repetition, repetition, repetition...is the mother of all learning.
So, remember to REPEAT
this process everyday!
It
is this consistent backward counting, while concentrating on the issue, that
gradually weakens and reduces your stress and anxiety levels:
Repeated use acts to reduce the amount of emotional intensity you're
feeling from your negative issues down to zero feeling.
Each round whittles away more and more of the negative
emotional connection between your brain and your body, so that the
negative emotions will no longer have much of an affect on you. And
then, we basically "rewire" your brain by replacing that negative
emotion it with a purely positive affirmation, which we proceed to
'cement into place' by repeating it over and over and over. |
So, just keep counting everyday!
It WORKS!
