Active and Dynamic Stretching

After yesterdays article on stretching I somehow today ran into another resource on stretching. Active and Dynamic Stretching: An injury prevention tandem is an article with links to other sites that will show you the stretches that will protect you and help heal tired aching muscles. Here is an over view of the tow types of stretching:

Active Stretching
Active Stretching is the type of stretching that we are use to when you basically pull a muscle as far as you comfortably can. Active stretching should only be done after your muscles are warm as they are very isolated and can lead to muscle pulls or strains. I tend to do these after my workout is completed. Everyone has their favorite stretches and the links in the article will show you a few more.

Dynamic Stretching
Dynamic Stretching is when you use actual movements like lunges and others to copy what you would do when working out. These stretches are great for before a workout as they will not stress cold muscles in a way that can injure them.
