Stretching Good or Bad?

Did you know that the latest research demonstrates that static stretching may not be best performed before activity? Surprising, huh? But think about it; how many times have you seen a boxer sit down in the middle of the ring before a prize fight and perform a static hamstring stretch? Let me guess....never. Here is what they do: bounce from left to right on their toes, swing their arms and shadow boxing-all forms of dynamic stretching and warm up.


Here's what we have learned over the last several years. Dynamically stretching before activity is important-Five Star Fitness Boot Camp vets know what this means: Butt Kickers, High Knees, Side Shuffles, Jack Squats, med ball tosses etc. Static stretching is reserved for the end of the workout.


Remember this: Dynamic Warm prepares the muscle for activity. Static Stretching prepares the muscle for rest.
