6. Stretch regularly to continually increase your range of movements and your level of flexibility and strength.
7. Do not compete with others. When stretching, only consider your capabilities and avoid comparisons to others. Do not force yourself to do an exercise that you are not yet capable of just because there are people nearby who can do it. Increase your limits slowly. Listen to your body. There are days when your body may be too tired that you may have to consider reducing your range of motion.
8. Remember your earphones. Since some people complain that stretching can be boring, listening to your favorite tunes may help you remain focused and keep you engaged in your stretching routine longer than usual.
Stretching before and after workouts will help prevent injuries and increase flexibility. Stretching is good for a tired body, or a stressed mind and spirit.
