Dynamic Stretches For Runners

by | Aug 22, 2014 | Blog, Bodyweight, Exercises, Pain Relief

Especially since most of us sit all day hunched over a computer screen we need to stretch and open up before we workout. We need to do Dynamic Stretches.

Dynamic Stretches are stretches in which you work through a range of motion. They aren’t stretches that you hold. You are moving and allowing everything to warm up as you improve your joint mobility.

These stretches help open up our posture and return our body to proper alignment after sitting all day, which helps us prevent injury when we workout.

However, all too often, people skip their warm up and go straight into their workout, especially when they are going for a run. They figure they will “warm up as they go.”

But it doesn’t work that way.

Without correcting some of the dysfunction we create from sitting all day and warming up our joints through a proper range of motion, we can’t run as fast and we risk getting injured.

Below are 10 Dynamic Stretches for Runners that will help you prevent injury and get your body ready to run so that you can run faster with better form! (more…)

Warming up isn’t just about getting the blood flowing.

A great warm up includes foam rolling, dynamic stretching and locomotion to make sure that you are loose and mobile in the muscles and joints that you are going to use for your workout that day.

For foam rolling moves, check out the Trigger Point video library.
