Something that is so important but often overlooked.
1 Warm-up slightly before you stretch – walk briskly or run on the spot forr 5 minutes. Don’t stretch cold muscles.
2 Aim to stretch at least 2 to 3 times each week.
3 Your program should involve four repetitions of a group of stretches held for 10 to 30 seconds each.
4 Avoid pain. Hold your stretch at a point of slight discomfort but pull back from pain.
5 Relax after each stretch by letting your muscles slowly go limp.
