State what you are blowing up and maybe the size too and how many breaths it takes to finish. I'm going to go a see if I can buy a beach ball from the dollar store and if they don't have those some balloons..or maybe those punch balls..it's the dollar store, maybe all 3!

Date: September 15, 2012 09:51PM This is just for FUN..no big deal, nothing to do with trying to 'win' anything, no need to be so precise. It's really all about testing your lung capacity, then you can post whatever you like about your experience. This is more about learning something about yourself..not anyone else learning about you.

Date: September 15, 2012 11:30PM If you want to know your lung capacity, maybe a volumetric incentivizing spirometer, which costs a bit more than a beach ball, is a more practical choice:
[www.amazon.com] I find blowing up a beach ball daunting because it's unwieldy and because I hate putting my lips to any kind of smelly plastic for more than a second; yeah, I'm paranoid that way. I can tell you from experience that an incentive spirometer is challenging enough, but accurate. Re: How many breaths do you take to blow up.....

Date: September 15, 2012 11:55PM Simple to just try to blow up a beach ball or balloon..no need to go scientific with gadgets.
Something I had read (maybe I need a t.v. instead of reading so much) got me thinking about the folks here that are into yoga, the fitness people that bike, run, etc..how would they fare in just blowing up a simple beach ball or balloon. Hence..the request for volunteers to give it a go. Also, I read in same article that practicing blowing up something will strengthen your breathing capacity. I pretty much know my lung capacity and it sucks air  I have though blown up many a beach ball since I used them in my childcare practice. It was not a chore I liked much.
