Hi guys, it’s Tricia here with Live Free Massage, and today I want to talk to you about dynamic
stretching versus static stretching. So before we workout we usually do something called
static stretching – like this picture shows. Now what that does is, it will usually increase your
flexibility, which is good, but at the same time it relaxes your muscles, which we don’t want
when we’re about to workout and we want our muscles to perform. Instead, try something
called dynamic stretching. It includes active movement, but at the same time increasing your
range of motion. It’ll warm up the muscles, activate and fire up your muscles and get them
ready to perform, and at the same time increasing range of motion and flexibility to reduce
injury. So, before you workout next time, take two minutes and try one of these dynamic
stretching routines. I’ll see you next time.
