Dynamic stretching is an active movement where the joints and muscles go through their full range of motion (ROM). Dynamic stretching stimulates reflexes in your tendons and muscles. It helps your body recognize, via movement, its relative position as opposed to relying solely on visual cues. Dynamic stretching is best done before a workout, but has other benefits as well:

• After a workout it will noticeably increase your ROM

• Before/during a workout it activates muscles

• Improves body awareness

• Improves blood flow

• Warms up muscles
