Thank you. Why should I not stretch before exercise?

[@outdooradventuretraining]

Thank you for your question! The advice against stretching before exercise primarily refers to static stretching, where you hold a stretch for a long period. Research suggests that static stretching before intense activities can temporarily reduce muscle strength and explosiveness. Instead, dynamic stretching, which involves active movements that stretch the muscles without holding the position for too long, is recommended before exercise. This type of warm-up increases blood flow, warms up the muscles, and enhances flexibility and range of motion, preparing your body for physical activity more effectively. Static stretches are best saved for after your workout when they can help with flexibility and recovery. Hope this helps clarify things!💪

Nice, excellent🎉

If not before exercise, what should I do right before exercise? (Skiing, biking, running)

dynamic stretching

Definitely no video for normal joe that does that once a year on his ski holiday.

If this 10-minute stretch feels challenging, it’s actually a great indicator that your body might benefit from a little more mobility work throughout the year. Even for once-a-year skiers, maintaining flexibility and mobility can make your time on the slopes way more enjoyable-and help prevent soreness or injury!
