Dynamic Stretching Vs Static Stretching

There is a lot of debate over how we should warm up our bodies, before a workout. Should we practice static stretches or dynamic stretches? There is a very easy way to remember this, as follows: Warm up the muscles with light Dynamic movements, before the actual workout, so your muscles have had the proper time to stretch and contract functionally. Post workout, after the muscles have contracted, without being able to stretch out, that is when we should practice static stretching, for no less than 20-30 second holds.
