The LungBoost uses mathematical equations to score your exercises.
The Endurance Scores take into account BOTH the average amount of seconds inhaled and exhaled AND the number of times you exercised. When you first begin and the exercises are easy, your scores go up faster. But as you improve, it becomes more difficult to get a better score. As you progress, you have to work harder.
The Strength Scores take into account BOTH the average ball height inhaled and exhaled AND the number of times you exercised. When you first begin and the exercises are easy, your scores go up faster.
But as you improve, it becomes more difficult to get a better score.
As you progress, you have to work harder.
