good morning stretch
"We are naturally inclined to stretch our bodies. For example after spending a long time in one position or in the morning our body will instinctively make us stretch. The "good morning" stretch is one of the first thing we do when we wake up. This happens when you extend your arms wide and open up your chest area (usually accompanied by a yawn.) Even newborn babies stretch as they announce to the world they have arrived. Stretching is not a new science, it's a natural impulse.
There was a recent New York Times article on the right and the wrong way to stretch that has generated a heated conversation in the training world. It pretty much says that what most people consider proper stretching technique (static stretching which involves holding your stretch for a period of time) can actually do more harm than good. The article emphasizes that dynamic stretching is the best form of stretch. Dynamic stretching is a more functional based way to stretch that involves body movement and a recent study says that it improves performance and reduce more injuries when compared to static stretching." - Kenn Kihiu
