Stretching the mind in preparation for exercise
When you stretch your body in preparation for exercise as well as after exercise, you need to stretch your mind as well. You might be wondering how and why. When your mind is relaxed, your body follows. To achieve a relaxed mind, listen to soothing music, relax your breathing, and use visualization techniques such as Yoga. Another exercise discipline that are very popular and works is the Pilates program.

Stretching is certainly useful for endurance training and yoga.
For weight lifting – you should minimise the stretching during training between sets because blood rushes out of the muscle and that is not what you want. Stretch thoroughly after training.
