It’s no secret that stretching is an important part of physical fitness, and many of us stretch to ensure that our bodies are loose and ready for any upcoming exercise. Stretching can also boost overall performance and help you prevent injuries during your workout. But did you know that there are two different types of stretching?
They’re called static stretching and dynamic stretching. While static stretching was the fitness industry’s go-to technique for decades, dynamic stretching has gained popularity in recent years as the preferred method.
In today’s blog, we’ll discuss what dynamic stretching is, how it’s different from static stretching, when to use each type of stretching, and some examples of dynamic stretches you can try at our Thornton gym.
