A resistance breathing device includes a face mask having a perimeter and a central aperture extending therethrough, and being adapted to overlay a user's mouth and nose such that the perimeter forms an air-tight seal with the user's face. An outer layer overlays the face mask and includes a pair of straps for affixing the face mask about a user's face. An insert plate is disposed within the central aperture of the face mask and has an inlet aperture extending therethrough. A central insert overlays the insert plate, has an air inlet aperture extending therethrough, and is movable between a first position in which a first portion of the air inlet aperture overlaps the air inlet aperture of the insert plate and a second position in which a larger second portion of the air inlet aperture overlaps the air inlet aperture of the insert plate.

1. A resistance breathing device, comprising: a face mask having an interior surface, an exterior surface opposite said interior surface, an aperture extending through said face mask from said exterior surface to said interior surface, and a perimeter, wherein said face mask is adapted to overlay a user's mouth and nose such that said perimeter forms an air-tight seal with the user's face and around the user's mouth and nose and said face mask defines an internal area between said interior surface of said face mask and the user's face;an outer layer overlaying said face mask and having a pair of straps with inter-engaging ends for affixing said face mask about the user's face;an insert plate having an interior surface, an exterior surface opposite said interior surface of said insert plate, and at least one inlet aperture extending therethrough, said insert plate being disposed within said aperture of said face mask, said aperture of said face mask forming an air-tight seal around said insert plate;a central insert including an interior surface, an exterior surface opposite said interior surface of said central insert, and at least one inlet aperture extending therethrough, said central insert overlaying said insert plate such that said interior surface of said central insert faces said exterior surface of said insert plate and such that at least a portion of said at least one inlet aperture of said central insert overlays said at least one inlet aperture of said insert plate, said central insert being movable with respect to said insert plate between at least a first position and a second position, wherein when said central insert is in said first position, a first portion of said at least one inlet aperture of said central insert overlays said at least one inlet aperture of said insert plate, and wherein when said central insert is in said second position, a second portion of said at least one inlet aperture of said central insert overlays said at least one inlet aperture of said insert plate, said second portion of said at least one inlet aperture of said central insert being larger in size than said first portion of said at least one inlet aperture of said central insert; andan air exhaust valve assembly adapted to prevent air from passing therethrough from an external environment to said internal area, said at least one air exhaust valve assembly being adapted to allow air to pass therethrough from said internal area of said face mask to the external environment. 2. The resistance breathing device of claim 1, wherein said central insert is moveable rotationally about an axis of rotation and relative to said insert plate. 3. The resistance breathing device of claim 2, wherein said at least one inlet aperture of said insert plate and said at least one inlet aperture of said central insert are circumferentially arrayed about the axis of rotation. 4. The resistance breathing device of claim 3, wherein said insert plate includes a central aperture, wherein said central insert includes a central aperture overlaying said central aperture of said insert plate and having a profile complementary to said central aperture of said insert plate, a biasing member extending across said central aperture of said central insert, and a stem extending from a center of said biasing member outwardly from said insert plate. 5. The resistance breathing device of claim 4, wherein said air exhaust valve assembly includes said central aperture of said insert plate, said central aperture of said central insert, and a flexible membrane having a first side, a second side opposite said first side, a profile complementary to said central aperture of said central insert, a post extending from said first side, and a central hole extending through said post and said first and second sides, said flexible membrane being disposed adjacent said central insert such that said stem of said central insert is disposed within said central hole of said flexible membrane and said second side of said flexible membrane abuts said biasing member of said central insert. 6. The resistance breathing device of claim 5, further comprising a face plate having an interior surface and an exterior surface opposite said interior surface of said face plate, said face plate overlaying said central insert and oriented such that said interior surface of said face plate faces said central insert. 7. The resistance breathing device of claim 6, wherein said face plate includes a plurality of slots extending therethrough. 8. The resistance breathing device of claim 7, wherein each of said plurality of slots is sized, shaped, and positioned so as to allow air to pass therethrough. 9. The resistance breathing device of claim 7, wherein said face plate is fixed to said insert plate by at least one clip. 10. The resistance breathing device of claim 7, wherein said face plate includes a retainer extending from said interior surface of said face plate, said retainer being sized, shaped, and positioned so as to abut said stem of said central insert. 11. The resistance breathing device of claim 3, wherein said central insert includes a handle that facilitates movement of said central insert between said first position and said second position. 12. The resistance breathing device of claim 11, wherein said handle extends in a direction radially away from said axis of rotation, wherein a ridge extends along a side of said handle facing said interior surface of said central insert, and wherein a plurality of grooves is formed in said insert plate, said ridge and each of said plurality of grooves being sized, shaped, and positioned in a complementary manner such that, when said central insert is in said first position, said ridge of said handle is positioned within a first one of said plurality of grooves, and such that, when said central insert is in said second position, said ridge of said handle is positioned within a second one of said plurality of grooves. 13. The resistance breathing device of claim 11, wherein said handle includes a grip. 14. The resistance breathing device of claim 1, wherein said at least one inlet aperture of said insert plate includes three inlet apertures and said at least one inlet aperture of said central insert includes three inlet apertures. 15. The resistance breathing device of claim 1, wherein said face mask and said insert plate are integrally formed. 16. The resistance breathing device of claim 15, wherein said face mask is overmolded to said insert plate. 17. The resistance breathing device of claim 1, wherein said face mask is made from a material including at least one of a rubber, a thermoplastic elastomer, silicone, styrene-ethylene/propylene-styrene, and styrene-ethylene/butylene-styrene. 18. The resistance breathing device of claim 1, wherein said insert plate and said central insert are each made from a material including at least one of a polycarbonate plastic, a polypropylene plastic, and a nylon plastic. 19.
