Bottom Line:

Dynamic stretching doesn’t involve holding a specific position unlike static stretching. It’s about moving your bodythrough ranges of motion that help you prepare for your workout. Dynamic stretching works by increasing your body temperature, blood flow, and circulation. This provides your muscles with more available oxygen and can help enhance your performance.
