Flexibility

Static vs. ballistic stretching and joint variations

Static Stretching: An easy force that is a high duration stretch where the muscle is held at the greatest possible length for up to 30 seconds.
Like yoga.

Ballistic Stretching: This is a form of stretching that is done in a bouncing motion, and the limbs are put into a range of motion when the muscle has not yet relaxed enough to enter.

Joint Variations: Is when you combine Static and Ballistic Stretching.

How can you include those concepts in your own life? 
   Before I  go on a walk or before dance, I can do yoga, and if I don't have time, I can do a quick breif bouncing motion to warm up my muscles before taking on a task.
