The Wings of Fire is a great warm up exercise to get oxygen into your lungs and upper 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.
- Start with your feet shoulder width apart and arms up, sort of like the chicken dance!
- Breathe in quickly through your nose using your belly.
- Bend your knees and bring your arms down to your side. During this motion breathe out through your nose.
- Repeat Quickly (This is a very quick motion… almost like you're a bird flying.)
