Pros and Cons of Stretching

Being of the old school of thought, it has always been a good practice to do some pre-stretching of your muscles before you begin to jog or work-out and stretch those muscles afterwards. Yes-No? There seems to be a difference of opinion on this issue-a personal trainer that I spoke with recently advised me that stretching wasn't necessary since the muscles were already being stretched during the workout...hummmmm-she has a point folks, what's your opinion? Mine is-I will continue to stretch!

Stretching is one way to "warm" up the muscles before exercising. This keeps you from injuring a muscle as easily. So if you don't do a "warm up" then you need to do "some" stretching.
