•
Blow over as many
pegs as you can in one breath. Strive to not
skip a peg.
•
Count the pegs (if you skipped one, only count the number of
pegs up to that point).
•
Reset. Try again.
•
Take note of your level. Be systematic. If you are getting 7
pegs most times, then try to increase it to 8. If you are getting
19, go for 20. Most importantly, make sure you are relaxed and
that the pegs are falling smoothly and in order – like dominoes.
This encourages a steady air stream.
PLEASE NOTE…
While blowing over all the pegs may be the eventual goal, the act
of
exercising
the lungs is what really matters. That can occur
regardless of the number of pegs blown over in any one breath.
The WindMaster is not about the pegs, it’s about exercising
your lungs.
