Why should you stretch those muscles
1. Stretching is highly recommended either before or after your workout but can really be done any time.
2. Corrective stretching is done before exercise but after a warm-up to lengthen chronically short muscles and help your body remain aligned properly.
3. Relaxation stretching is done after exercise to lengthen muscles and help them return to their pre-workout length.
4. It should only be done when muscles are warm. Further it will make you feel more comfortable and relaxed.
