Overview
Dynamic stretching uses active movement. Do it before your workout to raise your heart rate and help your muscles warm up. Keep the pace controlled, pause, then repeat. Sink a little deeper each round to expand your range of motion. Before exercise, dynamic stretching boosts circulation, gets your muscles ready to move, and briefly increases your range of motion.
