STOP Static Stretching Before Exercise 🚫🧘‍♂️
Do Dynamic Stretching Instead 💥🏃‍♀️

Static Stretching (holding a stretch for 20+ seconds) before activity can:

• 👎Reduce muscle strength by up to 5-30% temporarily
• 👎Lower power output & reaction time
• 👎Alter muscle & tendon stiffness, leading to less explosive movement
• 👎Decrease neuromuscular activation

🙌🏼❤️ Dynamic Stretching (controlled, active movement) helps:
• 🔥 Increase core temperature & blood flow
• ⚡️ Prime the nervous system for movement
• 📈 Improve range of motion without reducing strength
• 🧠 Enhance muscle activation & coordination

Example: Instead of toe touches… 🏃‍♀️
Do Leg Swings or High Knees 🦵
