When you are working out you need to stretch your muscles first. Stretching should be the first activity before almost all physical activity. There are different types of stretching before work outs which accomplish different things. Static and dynamic stretching are two types of pre-exercise routines. Stretching gets the body ready for a work out. It increases the elasticity of soft tissue and decreases your chance for injury by making your body more flexible. Prior to stretching you should warm up. You can jog in place or do a brisk walk for five to ten minutes. Dynamic stretching protocol prior to exercise is a good way to start. When you do this type of warm up you need progressive, continuous movements like high knees, butt kicks, lunges, forward and lateral movements, skips, and any change of direction exercises. Muscles resistance training Static stretching as the name suggests is holding a muscle at maximum stretch for an extended period of time without to much movement. Each stretch should be held for about thirty seconds with no bouncing just a steady stretch. Static stretching is best to do after the exercise or work out. For people that are already in shape Plyometrics type work outs are best. Plyometrics are more intensive and put more strain on the central nervous system. You can use a medicine ball, tosses, box jumps, depth jumps, and medicine ball push-ups. You should have a work out partner to do Plyometrics work outs.
