How long should you stretch for one day?

Answer 1

Stretches are generally not recommended before strength training for a few reasons. However, warm ups are still very important, and you should be warming up by doing light sets before your work sets. Nothing gets the blood moving and the muscles stretched (correctly - i.e. dynamically, not statically) than going through the range of motion of your exercises with incrementally more weight.

Answer 2

You should do static stretches that last for at least one minute and your stretching should cover the whole body in one session. I would personally suggest Starting Mobility as a great general stretching program for beginners.

Answer 3

you shouldn't do it to long because you have little wobblely arms. Try doing some physical streches like swinging them around.

Answer 4

I stretch 30 seconds each muscle I've used in a particular exercise.

Answer 5

All types of stretches should be held for around 8 seconds.

Answer 6

15 seconds
