Try for the air through the horn without making the pitch approach. breath fast, blow open, breath fast, blow with first valve down... you can continue in a scale pattern with the valves or just go 1,2,3,4. Then just play middle register long tones at mf for a couple of minutes.
You could also try this variation on a Roger Bob exercise. Start on low C or BBb and gliss up an octave, hold for a moment, and gliss back down. Continue this either diatonically or chromatically.

Best of luck to you,
