Stretching is commonly done after a brief warm-up, but before digging into a workout routine. It is not strictly necessary for every kind of exercise. Stretching trades a very small amount of direct power and speed for increased range of motion. If you're competing, stretching may decrease your performance. Slightly. However if you're about to do an exercise routine that requires flexibility, stretching may help reduce the likelihood of straining a muscle.
