What is it?
Dynamic stretching is a strategy used to improve mobility while moving through a range-of- motion, often we use movements similar to the activity or sport that is going to be performed.
Static stretching is holding a stretch without movement, usually only at the end-range of a muscle.
Which one is better?
Opt for dynamic stretching at the beginning of your work out, use 5-10 stretches and 3 sets.
Static stretches should be performed at the end of your session, hold the stretch for 30-45 sec and finish 2 sets.
As always, please consult with your doctor before engaging into any activity for the first time or if you are suffering from a chronic disease/ recovering from an injury.
