We found that stretching after running has produced the best results. If stretching before as a warm up, stretch each area for five to ten seconds.

Injured from running? We recommend stretching twice a day to speed up the recovery process. Gently stretching the injured area for 30 seconds before you run will help loosen tight muscles.

What do you think is best? Have favorite stretches? We would love to hear about them on our blog.
