Dynamic stretching occurs when a person experiences resistance while stretching that is beyond the normal ROM. A few examples of dynamic stretching include prisoner squats, tube walking, and multi-planar lunges, which are all performed in a standing position. Dynamic stretches on the floor include the hip-spine-shoulder stretch and the Core 4. By beginning and ending workouts with ballistic movements, you can be better prepared for power movements performed in training or sports. Additionally, doing a complete warm-up prior to activities such as sports and fitness training, that includes a light jog or stationary bike for 5-10 minutes is beneficial before doing dynamic stretches.
Key Takeaways:
- The dynamic stretching program can be used by people either before they workout, or after they workout.
- With dynamic mobility, it is important to refrain from counting the reps, and instead, you should just keep going until you don’t feel like you are making any headway with flexibility.
- Dynamic Stretching can start out on the ground, and then move forward to a standing position.
“As many readers may be familiar with the dynamic stretches previously mentioned in standing positions (prisoner squats, multi-planar lunges, tube walking, etc.), the next section will present more options that can be done on the ground or floor to help further customize the experience for the client.”
