Yes! Stretching not only helps you from feeling like you just got of a mosh pit. But allows more blood to flow through your muscles allowing you to work out more proficiently (spelling?) the next time you decide to hit the weights, run your routine and so forth. This also helps towards gaining muscle mass if your interested in that, due to the muscles not being as tight; it allows room for them to expand! Hope this long answer that could have been made simple, answers your question. :)
