Stretching is generally a great way to help keep you body in top condition. It increases flexibility, increases range of motion and lengthens muscles. However, there are some guidelines you'll want to follow when doing so:
-NEVER stretch cold muscles. This could cause a tear or a pull. Make sure you are always properly warmed up before stretching.
-Stretch to a point of mild discomfort, if you feel pain you have gone too far.
- do not hold a stretch more than 60 seconds
-stretch slowly, do not get into position too fast or bounce around while holding the stretch.
-do not hold your breath while stretching.
-also, it goes without saying, but do not stretch an injured limb (recent sprain, fracture. or inflammation) unless advised by a doctor.
