Answer 1

swimming is one of the best ways to quickly improve your lung capacity. if a pool is not available try breathing in for 4 sec. holding for 4 sec then relasing for 4 sec....it will get easier the more you do it. another thing you can try is taking a straw and cut it to where its about 3 inches long put it in your mouth and tighten your lips around it then breathe through your mouth (through the straw) for  a few minutes.

Answer 2

Get on a transplant list and be prepared to pay over $100,000.

Seriously, you probably mean to improve your own lungs...exercise, deep breathing, eating proper diet...all can gradually build lung-power.
