Stretching may not help you shed pounds in the same way exercise does, but it does play a role in overall physical fitness because it helps to keep your muscles relaxed and able to handle more intense activity. Making it a regular part of your workout routine can help you get more out of exercising, which in turn, can potentially support a healthy weight management regimen. Here\u2019s what you need to know:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"container simple-block-content topMag-70 topMag-sm-40 botMag-20 botMag-sm-40 botMag-md-40\" data-cmsmodule=\"text\" data-cmsslot=\"article-cms-content\">\n<div>\n<h3 class=\"subheading\" style=\"color: #e60d2e;\">Dynamic Stretching: Pre-Workout Power-Up<\/h3>\n<p><b>Good For:<\/b> Improving range of motion and getting muscles geared up for vigorous physical activity like running and interval training.<\/p>\n<p>As the name suggests, this type of stretching involves activity and movement. Dynamic stretching helps boost blood flow and muscle temperature before your workout. Stretches focus on moving your joints and muscles\u2014like rotating your hips or arms in circles, swinging your legs forwards and backwards or doing a few 30-second rounds of jumping jacks. Experts advise performing dynamic stretching routines for 6\u201312 minutes prior to going into full workout mode. To avoid injury, be sure to do movements in a controlled manner.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"container simple-block-content topMag-70 topMag-sm-40 botMag-20 botMag-sm-40 botMag-md-40\" data-cmsmodule=\"text\" data-cmsslot=\"article-cms-content\">\n<div>\n<h3 class=\"subheading\" style=\"color: #e60d2e;\">Active Stretching: Harder Than It Looks<\/h3>\n<p><b>Good For: <\/b>Strengthening muscles and increasing flexibility.<\/p>\n<p>Anyone who has ever done yoga is familiar with this type of stretching. Active stretching requires you to engage your muscles to hold various poses, which helps you get stronger and more limber.

Better still, a solid session of active stretching can leave you feeling supple, strong\u2014and positively Zen.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"container simple-block-content topMag-70 topMag-sm-40 botMag-20 botMag-sm-40 botMag-md-40\" data-cmsmodule=\"text\" data-cmsslot=\"article-cms-content\">\n<div>\n<h3 class=\"subheading\" style=\"color: #e60d2e;\">Passive\/Static Stretching: The Classic Cool-Down<\/h3>\n<p><b>Good For:<\/b> Winding down post-workout and relieving muscle pain.<\/p>\n<p>This is the familiar \u201cstretch and hold\u201d practice typically done at the end of a workout.
