When do you Stretch?

When we stretch a muscle, we're causing microscopic damage to soft tissue that ultimately repairs itself, which leads to greater mobility.
But the act of stretching can be stressful on the muscles and joints, which makes it more difficult for the muscle to produce the power and force usually required in a workout. This may lead to an overall ineffective workout or risk injury!
Therefore the best time to stretch is either after your workout, when the soft tissues are warm and pliable, or as a stand-alone workout that won't be followed by anything powerful or intense,(a good warm up before highly recommended).
