Describe what ballistic stretching is and why it’s harmful. Then, provide at least two examples of how one should properly stretch?

Ballistic stretching is using motion to bounce and stretch your body past its natural range of motion. This can be harmful if you don't have a professional to help you because you can tear, damage, or pop your tendons, ligaments, or joints.

This intense stretching method uses bouncing movements to push your body beyond its normal range of motion. Whereas static stretches are performed slowly and gradually, the ballistic method stretches muscles much farther and faster. You can do many of the same stretches as ballistic or static stretches.
