When to Stretch your Lower Body

Stretching is an important aspect of your workout and should be done before and after you work out. However, if you only have time to do it once during your workout I recommend that you do it at the beginning to help prevent injury.

The main muscle groups in your lower body consist of the calves, hamstrings, quadriceps, groin, lower back and Abs. These muscles are very important for any sport that involves running or jumping. Such as basketball or tennis.
