Yet another article regarding pre-workout stretching and the results of trials showing it will not prevent injury or make you more flexible nor will it give you more strength. If you don't have the time to read just remember muscles resemble toffee in that you can't stretch them properly until they are warmed up. Warming up the body means getting blood into the muscles first, so big movements with large muscles groups or an aerobic short warm up will get your blood going and ready to exercise the muscles. Post exercise stretching can show results.
Knowledge is power! Make healthy choices!
