Flexibility is the ability to move a joint through its full range of motion, and this component is often neglected in workout programs. If you don't stretch, it can lead to decreased range of motion, pain and even injury. Stretch at least two or three times each week, or after every workout to really see improvements. Hold each stretch for 15 to 30 seconds at the point where you feel a pulling sensation. If you feel pain, or your muscle is shaking, you are stretching too far. Perform one stretch for each muscle group, just like resistance training.
