Stronger Every Day β Thatβs the Power House Gym way! πͺπ₯
Warming up before a workout is just as important as the workout itself! Dynamic stretching helps prepare your muscles, improve flexibility, and reduce the risk of injury. Unlike static stretching, dynamic stretches involve movement, increasing blood flow, mobility, and muscle activation.
At Power House Gym Team Rocks, we emphasize the importance of a proper warm-up to maximize performance and prevent injuries. Here are 10 essential dynamic stretches to do before any workout!
