stretching routines
Pre-workout limbering sequences
Stretching routines are sequences of exercises designed to lengthen muscles and improve flexibility.
These may precede or follow physical activity, or stand alone as a practice like yoga.
The term implies a regular, repeated set of movements: I do my stretching routine every morning before work.
Athletes, dancers, and office workers alike develop routines tailored to their bodies and activities.
