One of the best exercises for flexibility is dynamic stretching. Unlike static stretching, where you hold a position for a prolonged period, dynamic stretching involves moving through a full range of motion in a controlled manner. This helps to improve flexibility while you are also warming up the muscles and increasing blood flow, which can reduce the risk of injury.

Dynamic stretches often mimic movements you’ll perform during your workout or activity, making them particularly effective for preparing the body for exercise. Examples of dynamic stretches include leg swings, arm circles, walking lunges with a twist, and hip circles. Incorporating dynamic stretching into your warm-up routine can help improve flexibility, range of motion, and overall athletic performance. Remember to start slowly and gradually increase the intensity and range of motion as your muscles warm up.
