Stretch as far as …
Stretch as far as you can for 30 seconds and then feel and reckognize the resistence your body naturaly puts there so you dont snap! Relax into the stretch exhaling or whatever suits (maybe your smoking, not advised) then you Will be able to go a little futher hold for 30 seconds. One minute, one stretch, how many stretchy bits do ya got? Could take youuu… 87minutes 112minutes if you smoke. lol..

true but you do need to strengthen the lower leg and ankle in proportion to the rest of the leg, as you increase the elasticity in the muscle and thus increase flexibility the ankle and calf become the week point of the body’s system. it also promotes balance and reduces the chance of cramping out after spending all day on your toes kicking a bag, or partner.

Unless you are …
Unless you are already superbly flexible DO NOT BOUNCE (ballistic stretching). Bouncing is very risky and could leave you with torn ligaments which will not help in your flexibility. If you’re serious about stretching learn how to do it properly and effectively – either from a trainer, or check out one of the many books available on the subject.
