PHANTOM ATHLETIC TRAINING MASK

The Phantom Training Mask pushes your limits in any sport – Feel the difference

You wanna push your limits? You wanna take your performance to the next level?
The Phantom Training Mask is a resistance breathing device, which limits your air supply during training. Our innovative Phantom Regulation System (PRS) lets you regulate the resistance in 4 levels during your workout and without taking off the mask. For most athletes, training their breathing muscles with a resitance breathing device is something completely new. Here you will find everything you need to know about our innovative Phantom Training Mask. We explain all the different parts and how they perfectly intertwine to bring you a new training experience!

We take a closer look at the physical process of breathing.
Inhale. Exhale.
Breathing is a natural process, which is essential for our body, condition, and physical performance as an athlete. Though, we usually don’t pay much attention to it. When you focus on your breathing, you will notice that you experience your body with much more awareness and truly use it’s potential. But how does breathing actually work? And what happens in your body when you inhale and exhale?
Become a better athlete!

Training with the Phantom Training Mask brings many benefits. You strengthen your breathing muscles, boost your physical and mental performance and push your limits. Besides your training gets more efficient! Learn more about the benefits and how they come – Xhale your limits!

#XHALE YOUR LIMITS! NO MATTER THE SPORT

“I would much rather see photo of a woman tearing up a mountain on skis than flashing her boobs to the wilderness”

Have you ever typed in #MTNBabes into Instagram? It’s a trend across Instagram where women take photos of themselves topless in the mountains before posting the snap on Instagram.

At first, it all seems like a bit of innocuous fun. Like those photos people used to take of themselves on uni ski trips, facing the mountains bare breasted with a pint in hand.
We came across this video, which pretty much says it all….

But if you think a little deeper, what kind of message is it giving off to younger generations of women?

We came across this video, which pretty much says it all….

Yes, these women are embracing the outdoors – but the whole focus is on them slapping each others butts and pouring beer down their chests.

It’s entirely focused on the sexualisation of women without them actually doing any sport whatsoever.

Women have strived to be admired not for their bodies but for their ability to rip in the mountains

Over the decades, women have worked hard to be seen as equal athletes when it comes to male-dominated sports like climbing, skiing and snowboarding.

They’ve strived to be admired not for their bodies but for their ability to rip in the mountains.

In some ways, posts like #MTNBabes just works to undo all this hard work – reducing women to sexual objects rather than strong, capable athletes that they really are.

We’re not here to condemn anyone. Everyone has the right to display their body anyway they choose.

I can understand why women see this is a freeing experience. The wilderness is a place you can go where there aren’t any prying eyes to oggle your naked form.

So, I say go for it – get naked in the wild on your on time – but by posting it on Instagram, you have to remember that it spreads a message to a far wider community beyond your immediate friends.

As the awesome ladies from the Outdoor Women’s Alliance pointed out in this spot-on Instagram post:

“Our photos are seen in countries where women would be harmed for such displays. We have to look at how our actions affect others. We are not in a bubble, and what we do is seen by women (and men) in many countries where displaying bare women could encourage men to see women as sexual objects.”

It’s a fine line though. Campaigns like #FreeTheNipple are in many ways very empowering for women – it shouldn’t be our fault that this is the way society views the female naked form.

But then where do you draw the line between enjoying the freedom to wander around topless (just like men) and titillating your viewer for an altogether different purpose?

For me, I think it comes down to what I would like to inspire my future daughter to be like.

Outdoor Women Shouldn’t Worry About Their ‘Thunder Thighs’. Here’s Why…

I would like her to be confident in her achievements (both on the mountain and on off) without feeling she has to get naked or bear any flesh to gain attention for her abilities.

I would much rather she admire a photo of a woman tearing up a mountain on skis or scaling the Half Dome in Yosemite than some girls flashing their boobs to the wilderness.

H.I.T. (high intensity training) Training is one of the newer training techniques happening right now. I particularly like this type of training because it only takes 4 minutes to get your cardio session finished! I know this sounds crazy but this is what the new science is telling us.

HIT consists of short, intense bursts of exercise with either active recovery (less intense in between) or complete rest in between. Cardio and strength routines both qualify -they can both get your heart pumping and get your metabolism fired up which leads to a solid afterburn. This is because it increases the amount of time your body takes to recover AFTER you have finished your exercise session. For maximum results you must go for maximum effort on the high intensity intervals, not simply a higher heart rate. HIT causes metabolic changes that enable you to use more fat as fuel. This will improve your athletic endurance as well as fat burning potential.

Here is what I do for my HIT training thanks to my training time with personal trainer Kai Fusser. I NEVER do any more than 4 minutes of cardio in the gym. Training more than 4 minutes of cardio raises cortisol levels and puts the body into survival mode which slows down your calorie burn and reduces maximum results.

1. Get on a treadmill. Leave it off! Use your phone as a stop watch in a visible place.

2. Push the treadmill at a medium walking pace for 30 seconds.

3. When you reach 30 seconds run at maximum intensity for 10 seconds.

4. Repeat walking at a medium pace pushing the treadmill steadily for 30 seconds.

5. Repeat running at maximum intensity for 10 seconds.

Continue this 30 second low intensity 10 second high intensity interval until you reach 4 minutes. Your Done! This workout can be done twice per week, if you can handle it three times per week is even better but more than that isn’t necessarily recommended.

This is not as easy as it sounds! Make sure your body is warmed up first, I do this at the end of my workout. If done correctly, you don’t need to do another lick of cardio at all! Make sure your shoes are laced tight!

I urge anyone interested in this type of workout to do their own research and learn about this method of training!

Go Get it!
