75. PART 8 – Warm Ups
What Is a Dynamic Warm-Up?
A dynamic warm-up uses stretches that are "dynamic," meaning you are moving as you stretch. For decades, static
stretching, which requires holding a stretch for 10 or more seconds while motionless, was the most popular type of
warm-up for athletes.
Dynamic stretching is ideal as the core of a warm-up routine for several reasons:
1. It activates muscles you will use during your workout. For example, a lunge with a twist is a dynamic stretching
exercise that engages your hips, legs, and core muscles. Whether you are doing weighted lunges in the gym, or
lunging for a soccer ball, the muscles involved have already been engaged during your warm-up.
2. Dynamic stretching improves range of motion . So if you feel like you can barely bend over to tie your shoes after a
long day at work, a dynamic warm-up routine can help you feel more limber.
3. Dynamic stretches improve body awareness. If you don't warm-up and hop into a soccer game, it may take a while
for your body to perform optimally. Moving as you stretch challenges your balance and coordination; skills that could
help your performance.
4. Warming up in motion enhances muscular performance and power. Studies reveal dynamic stretching before a
workout can help you lift more weight and increase overall athletic performance compared to no stretching or static
stretching . If you are trying to get stronger, build more muscle, or simply perform better, a dynamic warm-up
routine is likely your best bet.
