Most people never do because static stretching is boring and takes some extra time at the gym. However, there is a way to combine stretching with your workout. It\u2019s called dynamic stretching, and not only is it more fun, but researchers have discovered it\u2019s more effective at reducing injuries and increasing range of motion than static stretching alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why it Matters:<br><\/strong>Dynamic stretching doesn\u2019t involve holding a specific position unlike static stretching. It\u2019s about moving your body through ranges of motion that help you prepare for your workout. Dynamic stretching works by increasing your body temperature, blood flow, and circulation, which provides your muscles with more available oxygen and can help enhance your performance. A good warm-up that includes dynamic stretching has been shown to improve both power and agility. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"small wp-block-list\"><li>Dynamic stretching is movement-based and can improve blood flow and circulation. <\/li><li>Researchers have discovered increased power and agility after dynamic stretching.<\/li><li>A proper warm-up, including dynamic stretching, can reduce your risk of injury. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Next Steps: <br><\/strong>Incorporating dynamic stretching into the beginning and end of your workout is a great way to improve your range of motion and reduce your risk of injuries. If you have questions about incorporating dynamic stretching into your workout, just ask!
