I can tell you that stretching before you workout is essential. It warms up your muscles and prevents injury. It\u2019s not necessary to stretch after but in general the more you stretch the better. Same goes for conditioning. Also be sure to breathe when you stretch! The more oxygen you get into your muscles the better they can withstand the pressure.
