August 7, 2017 by Regina Boyle Wheeler, Healthday Reporter
(HealthDay)—Along with aerobic and strength training, stretching is an important part of every workout routine. But many people make the mistake of skipping this key step or doing certain stretches at the wrong time.
Stretching improves flexibility and helps maintain good range of motion in your joints. It may even prevent injury. Timing is important, though.
Starting your workout with dynamic stretches can prep your body for the exercise to come, according to the American Council on Exercise (ACE). These are stretches that take your body through a range of motions and raise your core temperature.
