The first 5 minutes of our lifts at the local high school we usually get some strange looks from the other athletes in the training center because of our initial exercises. This is a normal reaction if you aren’t used to walking into the weight room and seeing 10 athletes lying on their backs with their feet on the wall/bench blowing up balloons.
Typically the first 1-3 warm up strategies are devoted to breathing. The exercises require a balloon or at least some pretty weird positions. We utilize this time to take advantage of the power breathing has to help regulate output. Breathing is largely an unconscious system. But when we are able to focus on it and create awareness, it allows us to utilize our breath to align better and sequence moves more effectively.
