DYNAMIC WARMUP
The Dynamic Warm-up prepares the body for dynamic exercise (walking, jogging, running, etc.). The Dynamic Warm-up raises body temperature, increases blood flow to the muscles, and lubricates the joints. Contrary to old beliefs, you must be WARMED-UP to STRETCH.You do NOT STRETCH to WARM UP. Stretching is a critical part of a proper cool-down, not the warm-up.

"The more uplifting the story, the happier I am," says Rosie Lee Allen, co-anchor of KGO's Afternoon News with Greg Jarrett.
Every weekday from 4 to 7 p.m., Allen's approachable, homespun style helps make KGO Radio's Afternoon News one of the Bay Area's top-rated programs.

She made a series of unusual career moves that took her from being a singer in a band at age 18, to three years of service with the U.S. Army. She began her career in broadcasting at KNEW in Oakland, then went to KNBR Radio. In 1976, she became public affairs director for KGO's then sister station KSFX-FM.

We'll tell you; from the "serious-hard-news" to lifestyle, the latest medical news, business, entertainment, and of course up-to-the-second Traffic reports and Bay Area Weather. In short - if it's happening, we'll share it with you."
