Agree with JJ.1144.sl6872
Never stretch cold muscles, you are more likely to injure yourself.

"Never stretch cold".......Stretch when your muscles are warm,ideally after physical activity such as resistance training or aerobics. Stretch to a mild-intensity (40%-50% of maximum intensity). The stretch should feel like a comfortable pull. Hold stretches for 30-60 seconds, until the muscle relaxes.Pay extra attention to your tightest joints 1144. Proper body alignment is critical for getting maximum results. Repeat each stretch 2-3 times.
