Stretch smart! 🧘‍♀️ 

Warm up with dynamic stretches and cool down with static ones. Your joints and muscles will thank you. Here are some examples of both and when to use them!

💥 Dynamic Stretches (Before Exercise)

These get your body moving and muscles warm:

Leg Swings – Forward and backward leg swings to loosen hips.

Arm Circles – Big circles with your arms to warm up shoulders.

Walking Lunges – Step forward into a lunge, alternating legs.

Torso Twists – Rotate your upper body side to side gently.

🧘‍♀️ Static Stretches (After Exercise)

These are held positions to relax and lengthen muscles:

  1. Hamstring Stretch – Sit or stand, reach for your toes. 
  2. Quad Stretch – Pull your heel toward your glutes while standing. 
  3. Shoulder Stretch – Pull one arm across your chest. 
  4. Calf Stretch – Lean into a wall with one leg extended behind.
