I do, but just for a few seconds.

I have a friend who has an entire routine stretch after waking up, because she has a bad back. I think it is important to stretch in the mornings, and i am trying to remember what she did.

it only takes a few minutes~

I do! I stretch in the morning before I get out of bed (not for too long though). And I will do it later in the morning when I am relaxed and have more time. I will also stretch before I go to sleep - take out all the kinks from the day.

@lady1993 It just helps me to relax and unwind . . . plus I know how stiff I am by morning

I stretch a bit now, but not as much as I did when I was young. I dread having cramps.

Stretching is important as it relaxes our muscles and prepares us for the day. And yes I do stretch, I first do my leg routines and then I work on my biceps.

Most of the time, I should make a routine out of it, though.

Ah of course, I think stretching is natural after waking up, I always stretch because it makes my body feel better after sleeping for hours

I do a bit before I take a small walk in my garden. After some chores and morning rituals, I do my exercise/ yoga and that involves good amount of stretching.
