Wondering why you do all those crazy movements (toes, heels, lunge, butt kick, inch worm, toy soldiers, 
etc.) before you work out with us? Elite trainers have found that Dynamic Stretching allows the muscles to become primed for movement. By slowly controlling leg and arm swings and gradually increasing the range of motion your muscles prepare for the workout you are about to complete. Dynamic Flexibility increases core temperature, muscle temperature, elongates the muscles, stimulates the nervous system, and helps decrease the chance of injury….which is the MAIN reason we use Dynamics first!
While the Dynamics seem silly, take it seriously if you can! Dynamics really can prevent muscle pulls and tears. So, really squeeze your calves when walking on your toes, and become the best can opener you can be! Remember to start with slow movements, and make the dynamic larger and larger as your muscle loosens and you warm up. For example: when starting a toy soldier, kick low and as you warm-up kick higher and higher.
