Technique
Jolly Green Giant
A three-stage warm-up that primes the breathing mechanism before sport or exertion, moving from gentle rib expansion to faster, mouth-driven breathing.
How
First 10 breaths: hands on ribs, expanding the ribs on a nasal inhale and drawing them in on a nasal exhale. Next 10 breaths: active nasal inhale, active mouth exhale, a little faster. Next 10 breaths: the same pace, both inhale and exhale through the mouth.
