We all know the importance of stretching but many of us just don’t make time for it.
But it doesn’t, and shouldn’t, have to be like the start of a school PE lesson. In fact it has been proven that static (still) stretches before a run can cause injuries and impact performance.
So instead we should be doing Dynamic (active) warm ups like the ones featured in this video. This video is ideal if you are bit shy and want to warm up in the privacy of your own home before heading out but you can easily turn these into stretches to do whilst moving such as;
– Jogging with high knees
– Jogging with high heels
– Walking lunges
– Walking on tip toes
– Gentle jogging
There are lots of great YouTube Dynamic Warm Up videos out there. Enjoy!
