Dynamic Stretching: Benefits and Techniques

Dynamic stretching, unlike static stretching, involves a continuous flow of movement and can help prevent injuries. It increases blood flow and joint range of motion, preparing the body for exercise.

A typical routine lasts 2-10 minutes. Some dynamic stretching exercises include:

• Leg lunges with torso twist: Activates the glutes, quadriceps, hip flexors, and core.
• Leg swings: Stretches and activates the hip flexors, hamstrings, and glutes.
• High knees: Increases heart rate and warms up the quadriceps, hip flexors, and calves.
