Warm Up Before Stretching

Raise core body temperature a bit before stretching to reduce injury risk. If already warm from running, weight training, or other activity, do the stretching session at the end of that workout. Otherwise, do 5–10 minutes of easy cardiovascular exercise or safe calisthenic movements first.

“In general, to avoid injury, it's a good idea to raise your core body temperature a bit before doing these kinds of stretches, even these static stretches.”
