What is the best way to warm up, by stretching?
Stretching is not the best way to warm up, at least not at first. The safest, most efficient approach is by performing a cardiovascular form of exercise (cycling, jogging, brisk walking, rowing, etc.) for 6 to 10 minutes. After the muscles, joints and CONNECTIVE TISSUE (ligaments and tendons) are warmer, then you may choose to add gentle stretching exercises.
