When to stretch the body? before or after working out?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ideally, both: For a sports medicine physician stretching BOTH before and after exercising is optimum.If you are unlikely to do this than stretching before u run or workout w/ weights is helpful to minimize muscle/ tendon injury. Best of Luck!
