While it is important to stretch to maintain flexibilty, studies show that when you stretch is also very important. You should always warm up before you stretch. Stretching a cold muscle can not only cause injury, it won't do you much good. To warm up, try walking briskly or doing a few minutes of your activity at a low intensity before you stretch. You can then safely continue with the remainder of your workout.
