Which stretches to do, avoid
October 27, 2017 From Mayo Clinic News Network
Dear Mayo Clinic: I recently started jogging for exercise. I have been stretching before each run, but I've heard that some stretches increase your risk of injury. Which stretches should I do, and which should I avoid?
A: Stretching is an important part of your exercise routine, as it increases your flexibility and improves your joints' range of motion. Typically, the best time to stretch is after a workout when your muscles are warm and more receptive to stretching. Performing a variety of basic stretches that focus on major muscle groups generally is recommended to protect you from exercise-related injuries.
