@sirgerry doing it while walking creates a faster blood flow which warms up your muscle faster making u more flexible. Its called dynamic flexibility

@foods200 the lady demonstrating is doing almost every exercise with fundamental flaws. meaning either she wasn't taught correctly and/or the trainer doesn't know the correct way.

ReflexRich, there are a lot of theories on stretching and flexibility. There are many schools of thought which believe that ballistic stretching is more effective that static stretching. Active Isolated Stretching is one such source, as is Reposturing Dynamics instructions. Stretching in a functional movement, also helps to work on proprioceptions.

Of course, there are theories that static stretches are also beneficial, which is why I prefer to incorportate both in my massge practice.

Absolutely pointless... unless you hold the stretch for at least 15 seconds
