    How long are you supposed to stretch?

    15 minutes? 30? 60? I am just interested in stretching my legs, back and hips. Thanks in advance.

    You should really stretch everything out... I take at least 15 mins to properly get everything out...


    What are you training?

    I was asking for after Rehab.

    Right now I am stretching 1 hour a day as per a Physical therapist assistants hap hazard instructions.

    I used to lift weights, only. Then I got excruciating pain in my left thigh. An orthopedic doctor told me my muscles were too tight which pinched nerve's.

    Thank you all very much.

    Less then 10 mins. I don't stretch the entire body just the muscles i worked that day (normally right after being worked). I never stretch before only after.

    Roughly 10 minutes. More if you have mobility issues or are nursing an injury.
