Dynamic stretching is best done prior to activity and helps to prep your muscles for whatever activity that you will be performing.

These might include air squats, a side-to-side lunge, jumping jacks, jogging in place, or leg swings and arm swings.  

Keep these tips in mind when dynamic stretching:  

  • The point is to try and simulate movements that your activity will require. For example, a tennis or golf swing.
  • When performing a dynamic warmup, you should go through each movement for 1 minute or 20–30 repetitions.
