Short instructional YouTube video (Magnum Fitness) in which Matt explains static stretching as a cool-down practice, contrasts it with dynamic stretching used for warm-ups, demonstrates a simple arm-across static stretch, and recommends holding each stretch for ~30 seconds per side. The video is informal and ends with a pointer to the description for more details and a sign-off.

Hey, guys, Matt here from Magnum Fitness. Hope you're doing well. In this video, we're going to be talking about static stretching. Now, we have talked about dynamic stretching already. So remember, dynamic stretching is when you do that for a warm up. Static stretching is for a cool down or warm down. Now, very easy example. I'm just going to put my arm across, stretch like this. This is static stretching, not actually moving the muscle, whereas dynamic stretching would be like, and you want to hold the stretch for 30 seconds if possible. So 30 seconds one arm, 30 seconds the other arm, to make sure you are stretching out that muscle so you can recover a lot better as well. So I'll put in some more details in the description, but I will see you in the next video. See you guys.
