To reduce your daily discomfort
Stretch in a smooth movement without bouncing. Bouncing as you stretch can injure your muscle and actually contribute to muscle tightness.
Breathe normally and hold each stretch for about 30 seconds, and if you get to 2 minutes in a stretch, try to stand up and shake it out give the muscle time to breath.
Don't Aim for Pain
Expect to feel tension while you're stretching, not pain. A little sensation isn't bad, but if it hurts, you've pushed too far.
A large reason we stretch is to bring circulation to an area and keep the muscle functioning properly. This becomes a lot more available with a healthy amount of water in our bodies.
