A member asked:

What are the benefits of stretching muscles as part of your workout?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Let me explain: Stretching before a workout helps prepare your muscles for more vigorous exercise. Stretching is not warm-up exercise, but should be done after you warm up. Do about 10 minutes of light cardio exercise, such as brisk walking or jogging, before stretching your muscles.
