It gives me time to meditate and stretch at the same time. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Tracy O.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I tend to focus more on my lower&#x2F;upper back. Our backs has hold us all our life. So showing our backs some love is a must. I normally use a roller and roll my back on that. Feels like heaven. You can purchase one on amazon. I also stretch my neck side to side. Bend down and try to touch my toes. Hope this helps! <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Selmira Q.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Stretching all your muscle groups daily or at least before every workout is definitely recommended by experts.  Always warm up your muscles with 5-10 min of light to moderate activity before stretching. As for the specific stretches, you will want to choose based  on what type of exercise you will be doing. You can look for tailored stretching routines online. Just be sure to pay attention to who is writing&#x2F;sponsoring the articles. Look for credible institutions and authors who can provide source information to  backup their claims. If you are just doing some general stretching this website has some good ones, however, if you have knee pain or don&#39;t want to develop knee pain be careful with the quadricep stretching and the 90&#x2F;90 stretch. You shouldn&#39;t feel any pressure on your knee joint while doing these stretches. Instead of pulling hard with you hand on your ankle, contract your glutes to increase the stretch on the front of your leg. One stretch I would add to these is a calf stretch. People often overlook the calf muscles.  Yoga routines are also great for general stretching. Join a class or watch videos online to learn some simple routines. Individual stretches should be 20-30 seconds long and repeated once or twice. Pay attention to your body. Where do you feel  right? Adjust accordingly. Oh and never bounce while stretching.<br \/>\nHope this helps  you enjoy relaxing and flexibility improving stretches in the future.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Est Ban P.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I stretch both hands over my head first, I then twist my torso both ways.
