Dynamic Stretching using Linear Movements
Dynamic stretching uses speed of movement, momentum and active muscular effort to bring about a stretch. The Warrior X-Fit dynamic stretches should occur prior to doing the Warrior X-Fit program (The following stretches should be before doing the “Intro to the Super Six” or the “6 Rounds of the Super Six”. These stretches are included in the progression for the “15 Rounds of Warrior X-Fit”).
Clinical studies have shown dynamic stretches are the most effective method of reducing muscle stiffness and preventing muscle tears before intense exercise. Warrior X-Fit provides two variations of the Dynamic Stretches: circular and linear movements. Circular should be performed on even numbered days and linear on odd numbered days.
This video demonstration is of dynamic stretching utilizing circular movements.
