Excerpt from our Bootcamp Workout book!

The Stretches –
Blackhawk workouts typically start and end with stretching. We begin the workouts with dynamic stretching, or more of an active stretch. We will end every workout with more of a static stretch to give the muscles a cool down and relieve stressed muscles.

The Dynamic Stretch is any activity that wakes the muscles up and prepares your body for activity. We use speed of movement and active muscle movements to provide the stretch.

This type of stretching should not be confused with ballistic stretching where a typically static stretch is accompanied by bouncing.

Dynamic Stretching are active, moving exercises. Some examples might include things as simple as side-straddle hops (we’ll learn all about those…), jogging in place, or more complex like mountain climbers, or cherry pickers.

The key to the dynamic stretch is getting some exercise benefit out of the activity while warming up the body for the real workout. Dynamic stretching has shown a decrease in muscle tears before a workout.

Static Stretching should be done at the end of the workout. The static stretch is just that, a stationary stretch typically done to the count of 10 seconds. Static stretching should not be done PRIOR to the workout. Recent studies have shown this type of stretch prior to activity can inhibit overall performance and output.

That is not at all to suggest static stretches are bad for the body. Simply that peak performance is achieved through dynamic, not static stretches.

To that end, Blackhawk Fitness Boot Camp does a dynamic stretch at the beginning and static stretching at the end of the workout.
