    It's good to keep flexible especially as you age. Stretching is specifically for that. Dynamic stretching before working out (about 5-10 minutes) and IF desired, static stretching after from 5-10 minutes. Contrary to popular belief though, stretching doesn't prevent injuries (injuries happen suddenly with trauma) and doesn't reduce DOMS on a physical level.

    Thank you very much for your reply. I am trying to do more as I continue to follow my workout regiment. I build muscle easy but I've noticed that I have become less flexible....what is your take on foam rolling as a warm up or cool down?
