stretching routine

Pre-workout limbering exercises

A stretching routine is a planned sequence of stretches performed regularly, typically before or after exercise or as part of daily wellness practice.

The routine implies both the specific exercises and their habitual repetition: I do my stretching routine every morning before work.

Athletes develop stretching routines to improve flexibility and prevent injury.
