Dynamic stretching is considered best before a workout as it prepares the body for physical activity. Unlike static stretching, which involves holding a stretch, dynamic stretching involves controlled movements that increase muscle temperature and improve range of motion. Examples include arm circles, leg swings, and walking lunges. Engaging in dynamic stretches enhances blood flow to the muscles, reduces the risk of injury, and primes the body for optimal performance during the workout. This approach is particularly effective for activities requiring strength and agility.
