High level my stretching breaks down to:

- nerve gliding when necessary (explained later)
- 30 seconds passive stretch x 2 per muscle group
- do this 5 days per week per muscle group

Example for hamstrings:

- warm up hamstrings doing elephant walks (15 each side)
- 30 seconds trying to touch my toes
- do this daily

A really helpful YT channel for me has been MovementbyDavid (linked) for reframing how I approach stretching

1. Treat stretching similar to how you’d treat strength training. Consistency and intensity matters

2. Stretching isn’t your warmup. You should warm up going into your stretching

Your body has mechanisms to prevent you from injuring yourself from overextension. Nerve gliding exercises help bypass that imposed limit so that you can begin working to improve your range of motion with passive stretches
