Are there any specific stretching exercises that should be done before and after my gym workouts?

Experts recommend dynamic stretching before a workout and static stretching after a workout, squats. There are different types of stretching before and after training. Dynamic stretching is best before training, while static stretching is best for cooling down after training. There are several types of stretches that fall within each category to try.

Here are some of the best pre- and post-workout stretches to ensure that you and your body stay safe both before and after training. No matter what your high school gym teacher says, you really shouldn't do static stretching before exercising, especially if your workout involves your lower body.
