Dynamic Warm-up Series: Walking Knee Hugs

Momentum wants to help you stretch properly by giving you a dynamic warm-up that will warm up your muscles to move, lift, and stretch safely and effectively. Learn the first of the dynamic warm-up series in this video.

Fitness Tip of the Week: Warm Up Before Stretching

Flexibility training should be performed after a proper warm-up to allow effective stretching to take place. NEVER STRETCH COLD. Ideally, flexibility fitness should be performed 5 to 7 days a week for all major joints. Stretch to the point of mild discomfort, but not pain. Hold static stretches for 20 to 30 seconds, making sure to take deep even breaths. Static stretching should be performed after the workout. Dynamic stretching is a better way to prepare your muscles for a higher intensity workout.

Stretching Series: Hip Hinging

This week your Momentum trainers give you a lower back stretch to release hip and back tension while at the office or if you’ve been sitting for a little too long. Use as many times as needed to relieve back and hip tightness.

Fitness Tip of the Week: Stretching Tips

1.) When stretching, always properly warm the muscles, (a cold muscle is a tight muscle).
2.) Hold for 5 to 10 deep, even breaths to fully release muscles.
3.) Do not bounce in the stretch. Hold and breathe.
4.) Try yoga, tai chi, or Pilates to increase adherence.
