Frequently asked questions
How long should I hold a stretch?
For improving flexibility, hold each stretch 30-60 seconds and repeat 2-3 times. For a quick warm-up, 20-30 seconds per stretch is sufficient. Avoid aggressive static stretching before high-intensity exercise.
Static vs dynamic stretching — which before exercise?
Dynamic stretching (controlled movements through range of motion) is better before exercise; it prepares joints without reducing power. Save static holds (long, passive stretches) for after your session or a separate flexibility session.
