🔵Stretching🔴
What if I told you stretching before your workout can cause injuries? Yep that's right if you do the WRONG type of stretch you could injure yourself.
There's 2 types of stretching
1️⃣ Dynamic stretching
BEFORE WORKOUTS 👈
Dynamic stretches are meant to get the body moving. The stretches aren’t held for any length of time. Dynamic stretches include movement, such as lunges with a torso twist
2️⃣ Static stretching
AFTER WORKOUTS 👉
Static stretches, on the other hand, are where muscles are extended and held for a period of time. Some examples of static stretches include a triceps stretch or the butterfly stretch.
Static stretches BEFORE your workout will lengthen the muscle and in turn weaken it which can cause injury.
