How to increase lung capacity?
    #21713619 - 05/23/15 09:52 AM (8 years, 8 months ago)

I am a fairly talented singer, but for a few years I smoked heaps of weed which has drastically reduced the amount of air I can hold. I quit the weed in October last year and haven't smoked anything since, but my lung capacity hasn't increased much. Anyone else experience this? What can I do to remedy it?

Go to Hawaii and learn from "water men". Breathe normally then after you exhale wait 5 seconds to inhale again. Start there right now and build up from there. I don't know how well the breath holding will translate to powerful singing though.

I am naturally a powerful singer but lately since I've been trying to get back into singing I've found my main problem is just not being able to catch my breath enough before the next note. My style of singing involves a lot of long notes and I can't seem to hold them as easily as I used to. But that does sound like a decent breathing exercise, so thanks.

I read a book one time about divers that didn't use scuba gear but they stretched their lungs out over time by taking in as much air as they could and then taking in small gasps of air to fill their lungs and stretch them as much as possible

I'm pretty sure it's something like this. You have to expand your air sacs to be able to hold more air.

Also being in shape helps a lot.... you won't have powerful lungs if you don't do cardio

Sounds like a dope way to collapse your lungs.

Yes, I believe it's called lung crunching and while effective, it's remarkably dangerous for someone that doesn't know what they're doing.

You can do simple lung exercises such as the hyperventilation technique to expand your lungs over time.
Pretty much you just hyperventilate until you start to get lightheaded and then hold your breath for as long as possible. I have no idea how often you have to do it in order for it to be effective, but it's the other, safer tek that SCUBA divers use to increase lung capacity.

Also if you're smoking weed and that concerned with lung capacity, changing to just vaping weed is a good idea imo. I don't personally do it but I'm no singer and rarely dive anymore.

If you're REALLY worried about it though, you should just switch to eating, and stop all inhalation.

I know vaping is so much better for you than smoking, but inhaling heated vapors of like 170+ degrees (Idk where vapes actually operate, probably well over that, but when you inhale I'd imagine it's about 150 by the time it gets to your lungs) That still can't be good for you.

I'd have to imagine it causes some form of damage....

Then again just breathing in this awful polluted air we have probably causes issues on its own anyways.

I can't run for 30 minutes because I'm paraplegic, you fuck

I do actually exercise, I skate almost every day.

I just don't run. I wouldn't want to run for 30 minutes I'd get bored.

That's only like 3 miles though, so not very hard, I still am not a fan

When I started running I had a hard time running for 10 mins at a time. At a good steady pace....

I've moved up to an hour now, getting about 10 miles... however to really get my lung capacity up and body in shape is sprinting as fast as I can for 2 mins at a time and walk for a minute for 20 mins or so

I skated 16 miles the other day.

8 miles there, 8 miles back.

So I'm not completely out of shape, you won't even catch me jogging just to jog though. Fuck that.
