Stretching bad for before execrising?

Asked by LDRSHIP (1795points) September 8th, 2013

I’ve ran across some discussions that say stretching before doing exercises, is not helpful. And even should be avoided.

Why is this? What happens to the muscles?

It suggest that instead to do “warm up” activities. What are some good warm ups? Would this mean like jumping jacks?
