I personally lift pretty heavy each morning but don&#39;t do much in the way of dynamic movements. So for me, stretching for 3-5 minutes and doing some light warm up sets of my regular lifts is enough. If I was doing CrossFit or an intense circuit, I would spend 5 minutes stretching and 5 minutes getting my blood pumping. <\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"thefa-test2 thefa-entity-placement\" id=\"thefa-1615249335\"><div id=\"thefa-1504050245\"><style>.thefa-test2 {margin-bottom: 24px;}<\/style>\r\n<div class=\"banner-content-position light-viol\">\r\n<div class=\"banner-text max400\">Habit building made easy<\/div>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/start.thefabulous.co\/onboarding\/fabulous-initial?utm_source=community-qa&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=afterfirstquestionoranswer-purple-achievegoals\" class=\"banner-cta red w-inline-block\">\r\n<div>Start now<\/div><\/a>\r\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Jeppe Y.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">It depends on what the purpose of your activity is&#x2F; what exercise and to what intensity you are doing it after. If you are full on exercising you need both really and stretching means you don&#39;t jar your muscles. Dancing around the room might not necessitate stretching to prevent injury, but it&#39;s a great idea to do anyway to keep on top of tight muscles. Do a  bit of both? A warm up usually involves stretches anyway.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Eberhard U.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Both are important, and it\u2019s very important to do both. Warm up and then stretch when your muscles are warm and are more flexible<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">L Onard Y.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Yes, you should always warm up before working out to wake you muscles up and increase blood flow. You will also experience less cramps. \ud83d\ude0a<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Eleut Rio P.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Warming up is important for the healt of the muscles. Cold muscles are like a plastic band left in a deepfreezer. Any kind of flex will break them. Small movements to warm them up prepares muscles for much more demanding stretching actions.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Sarah J.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Confused about the wording of the question. In the morning our bodies are tight and stiff from sleep and lack of movement, so it isn\u2019t important to wake up and warm up and stretch a little, more so than with afternoon exercise.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">William F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I think that warming up is more important than stretching at the end of a workout because it gets you started on the right note. I don\u2019t always stretch after my workouts (I know I probably should), but it doesn\u2019t affect me as much as not warming up.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Johanne W.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I would say yes to both. A strech is a warm up in and of itself, and they are both important to start off better excersize segments.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Magno O.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">A warm up is more important at the start, but stretching is important at the end. That is unless you always stretch before, your body will need you to continue that.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Marica A.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I think so! Warming up helps my body get moving. Sometimes stretching when I haven\u2019t warmed up makes my body feel even tighter. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Laurita Y.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">In my opinion, warming up is better than stretching prior to a workout. Stretching should be a part of the cool down routine. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Manuel J.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">This is a difficult question because we all have different body types and histories. I can only give you an answer through my experiences. I am 27, female, with lower back&#x2F;knee&#x2F;hip issues. For morning exercises I do light 10-15 min yoga with deep breathing. I focus on full body stretching that encompasses full body functionality and mobility. Then, I walk for 5 min. This part allows me to feel where my body needs more attention after yoga. So, I say both. Takin 20 min of yoga (functional stretching) and a few min of warming up such as walking can help the body wake up and decrease risk of injury.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Theodore F.
