Dynamic stretching is an essential warm-up tool, priming muscles and joints for movement by improving mobility, increasing blood flow, and preparing the body for safer, more effective exercise
Ageless Workout trainers Nate Wilkins and Shebah Carfagna explain how warming up reduces injury risk - especially for older adults - while enhancing range of motion and exercise quality. In conversation with Peter Bowes, they highlight the benefits of directional movement and why aging bodies often need longer, more deliberate warm-ups.
They note that short daily bouts of dynamic movement help maintain balance, gait, and functional mobility, countering stiffness caused by sedentary routines. Their core message: a well-structured warm-up primes both body and mind, improving performance and protecting long-term health.
Always consult your healthcare provider before starting or modifying any fitness program.
