What guidelines are given in regards to intensity and frequency, to improve flexibility?

To improve flexibility, perform stretching exercises before and after each workout session for at least 10 minutes. Stretch each muscle group slowly and methodically until a feeling of slight discomfort is felt. Hold the position for 20 seconds without bouncing. Repeat at least three times.Stretching exercises can also be performed aside from other exercises.
