2. Warm up for stretching by stretching

Do any of the stretches with a gentle to medium level of resistance, giving your muscles time to get used to what you are doing and getting the blood circulating. As your body warms, you can increase the tension to stretch with more and more resistance. While you are warming up you want to keep everything smooth, easy, and consistent and I suggest you avoid the stretches that you find very challenging.

3. Do 5 minutes of gentle exercise

This fits in particularly well if you are planning to do cardio, such as running, and want to stretch first. Doing your stretching 5 minutes into your workout means that you are warmed up enough and you will be able to experience the benefits of your stretching during your run/bike/exercise class/swim also. And stretching in a swimming pool (in the shallow end) is great fun because you can do a lot of movements without gravity getting in the way. If you are not doing any cardio, then 5 minutes of any movement that is safe and gets your whole body moving and warm, will work. Dancing is great too.
