Here's How to Get Started Running Outside, Because Who Actually Loves the Treadmill?

"The best way to stretch before running is to do so with dynamic stretching," Lyuda told POPSUGAR. These stretches mimic the movements you'll do during your workout, so "you're stretching your muscles at the same time you're warming up your body to run," she explained. Try one of these dynamic stretch sequences after you've gone for a light jog:

• Dynamic Exercises For Tight Hips
• 5-Minute Dynamic Warmup Stretches
• Dynamic Yoga Stretches
