Dynamic Warm-Up (Pre-Workout)
Use dynamic drills, not long static holds, right before activity. Note the honest evidence: a warm-up prepares you to perform, but stretching's effect on lowering injury risk is limited and inconsistent: do this to move well, not as injury insurance.
Grade inherited from the evidence blocks this routine implements. Duration is a starting point (do more or less); the app just tells you where you land against the evidence-based dose.
