The best time to do flexibility exercises is when your muscles are already warm so they can stretch farther without tightness or pain. If youâre doing only stretching exercises, warm up with a few minutes of easy walking first to warm up your muscles.
The gentle movements of tai chi, yoga or pilates, for instance, may be a good way to stretch. In addition, when performing specific activities, such as a kick in martial arts or kicking a soccer ball, start by doing the movement slowly and at a lower intensity at first to get your muscles used to it.
