Warmup exercises can help get your body ready for more strenuous activity and make it easier to exercise. Some of the most important benefits of a warmup include: • Increased flexibility • Lower risk of injury • Increased blood flow and oxygen • Improved performance • Better range of motion

A dynamic warmup is done at the start of your workout routine. It’s meant to prime your body to work at a higher intensity.

Static stretching is most effective at the end of your workout. It consists of stretches that are held for a period of time to help lengthen and loosen your muscles and connective tissue. This is different from a dynamic warmup because you keep your body still.
