Do you prefer to stretch before exercising, after or both?

My preference is to actively stretch before my workout (rock climbing) and to have a calm/cool-down stretch afterwards. This way my muscles/joints are warming up the movements I will make during my exercise, plus I have a chance to relax and reflect on my work afterwards with a calming stretch. Hope this helps!

Until now I’ve just done stretching. I think once i’ll start excercise too, I’ll do first the 10-min stretching when excercising the morning. Ortherwise I prefer to stretch after. Anyways, I do a minimum of stretching and warm up before excercise.
