Dynamic stretches include movement, such as lunges with a torso twist. Static stretches, on the other hand, are where muscles are extended and held for a period of time.

Are squats dynamic or static?

The squat is a dynamic strength training exercise that requires several muscles in your upper and lower body to work together simultaneously. Many of these muscles help power you through daily tasks such as walking, climbing stairs, bending, or carrying heavy loads.

What are static lunges?

Static lunges are a bodyweight exercise designed to build strength in your core and lower body. For static lunges, move into the lunge position and hold for a lower-body workout that targets your hip flexors, hamstrings, and quadriceps.
