I was introduced to the X-Lung device a few months ago, at first I was sceptical with regards to the claims that magnetic induction of inhaled oxygen would increase my athletic performance with approximately 13%. I decided to use the device as prescribed, every 30 min for 4 weeks and measure my performance.
I am a very active person and my exercise regime consists of distance swimming, running and strength training 6 days per week. I do not view training as just a means to remain fit and healthy but every session I measure my performance, time, technique and heart rate. I am always trying to better the last ‘personal best’.
SWIMMING:
Training distance swimming is very different from training 50m to 100m speed swimming. Technique and especially cardiovascular fitness plays a vital role in performance. Before I used the X-Lung I would swim 1500m freestyle in 29min with a 19 stroke per minute average. I would complete a 3000m swim in 59min. This would be considered an average to good time for a 3k swim.
After using the X-Lung for four weeks my performance did not just increase it had a drastic effect for the positive on my ability. I would have to admit at this point that I did not realise the effect the X-Lung was having until I manage to increase my performance to such a level that it was impossible to deny or even be a little sceptical about the effectiveness of the X-Lung.
Currently I swim 1500m in 20min which is a 9 min improvement on my time before using the X-Lung. I have manage to increase my swimming distance in a training session from 3000m to 4000m. I swim a 4k now comfortably in 58min which is an excellent time. I find that my capacity to inhale oxygen has improved so much that I swim the 4k comfortably without too much cardiovascular discomfort.
I am elated with my performance. The 13% improvement in performance X-Lung claims, when looking at the increase in my ‘personal best’ is being cautious to say the least.
RUNNING:
Running does not come naturally to me and it takes a lot of effort and hard work to complete the distance without injury and over exercising. I am a natural swimmer and it remains the sport of my choice but running adds another dimension and impact exercise is necessary for bone density development. Naturally the increase in my swimming performance caused such excitement that I could not wait to measure my running performance after the 4 week period using the X-Lung.
Measuring times on my 5k run. I completed a 5k trial run in 33 min. which is not great at all. I have always wanted to complete in sub 30 min. but found it virtually impossible as my heart rate would spike to 181 beats per minute and with difficulty bringing it down to within normal cardio rate. I am pleased to share that currently I am able to run a 5k trial run in 29 min. keeping my heartrate within 161 beats per minute. Time improvement of 4 min again is absolutely magnificent and far outweigh the expectations I would have set for myself. I am currently running 10k trial runs in approximate times of 1 – 1.15 hours depending on the difficulty. Most of the trial running routes are very steep and would be considered difficult because of the climbing. I am pleased to provide this testimonial in favour of the X-Lung device as a performance enhancement in the sports arena. I am not a scientist but I am able to keep my running pace
the same and manage through breathing slower and deeper to decrease my heartrate yet not my running speed. The feeling I have during training is that I am able to breathe more oxygen into my lungs than before and my body’s ability to use it more effectively makes me strong during the workout.
I wish to thank Mr. Bussiahn for introducing me to the X-Lung device. It has become part of my apparel and I hope more people will be introduced to X-Lung as the benefits to being able to use oxygen more effectively in the body is not limited to the sports arena. It’s with great anticipation that I await X-Lung to become a household name.
