In our April Quick Poll, we asked, “How long is the optimal amount of time to hold a stretch?” Not surprisingly, over 50% of people thought it was between 30 seconds and 1 minute.
It actually depends on your own body and previous flexibility training. You should hold each stretch until it releases. Use your breath as a guide.
