Stretching For Fitness by Ms Namita Nayyar

Do not bounce or bob when you stretch -- not only is this not effective, but you could injure yourself.

Take each stretch slow to the 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.
