Remember these stretching tips when doing following exercises:

Always warm up before stretching. Warming up gives your body a chance to deliver plenty of nutrient rich blood to areas about to be exercised, which warms muscles and lubricates joints Do not bounce or bob when you stretch -- not only is this not effective, but you could injure yourself. Take each stretch slow to point where tension can be felt, but not pain. Never stretch torn or injured muscles unless you have consulted with your doctor. Hold each stretch for 20 to 30 seconds. Always complete each stretch for both sides of your body, when applicable. Always cool down and relax after a stretching routine. By cooling down, you can help prevent injuries and muscle soreness from your workout.
