The Jump of Fire is a great warm up exercise to get oxygen into your lungs and lower extremities and to get your heart pumping.  This exercise requires a type of breathing called “Breath of Fire.”  This is a very quick and deep breath taken in from your belly through your nose and then forced out quickly, again, through your nose.

1. Start with your feet shoulder width apart and arms up in the air.
2. Breathe in quickly through your nose using your belly.
3. Jump (During this motion breathe out through your nose.)
4. Repeat Quickly (This is a very quick motion… almost like you're cheering for your favorite band at a rock concert.)
