A healthy, pain-free body depends on flexibility, hence Eden’s dynamic stretching program is meant to increase your mobility—regardless of your level of activity or simple need for limbering. Either as a warm-up or on their own, this series helps your body stay smoothly flowing.
Dynamic stretching: why? Dynamic stretches, unlike passive stretches, include movement to warm the muscles, increase flexibility, and increase your general range of motion. These are Eden’s best moves:
1. Arm Circles (30 seconds forward, 30 seconds backward) Start by making little circles with your arms out to the sides. Increase the circle’s size gradually then flip the direction. This pose warms your chest and shoulders.
2. Hip Circles (30-second directions) Standing with your hands on your hips, create large circles with circular motion of your hips. Crucially for lower body flexibility, this action releases your hip joints.
3. Leg swings—10 repetitions front to back, front to back For balance, hang onto a wall; swing one leg forward and then back. This dynamic action stretches hip flexors and hamstrings.
4. Torso Twists—15 repetitions on each side Standing with your feet hip-width apart, softly twist your torso from side to side. This stretch warms your core and boosts spine mobility.
Five walking lunges—10 repetitions each leg Apart with warming your lower body, lunges enhance coordination and balance. Step forward in a lunge, moving forward with alternately legs.
Eden thinks consistency is absolutely vital. Including these dynamic stretches in your program can help you to be more flexible and less likely to become injured.
