Let’s begin by explaining why pre-workout stretching is crucial!

Warming up your muscles helps prevent injury, pain and strains. It will also increase the success of your gym experience, body form and workouts.

Dynamic stretching is the one you want to focus on for your pre-workout stretches. These types of movements allow your muscles and joints to work to their full motion potential. You want to increase muscle temperature and reduce stiffness.
