Begin your warm-up routine with an easy 3-to-5-minute jog or walk, followed by a dynamic stretching routine.

Dynamic Warm-Up Routine

Dynamic stretches are great for runners as they help warm up your muscles for running and serve to stretch the muscles you will use on the run. In contrast with static stretches (which are to be performed after your workout), dynamic stretches are active movements in which your joints and muscles go through a full range of motion.
