O b. warm-up before stretching
O c. stretch at least three times per week and perform each exercise at least twice
O d. stretch to the point of pain, then bounce for at least ten seconds

Answer 1

Answer: D.

The answer is d. The reason why it’s d is because stretching is not supposed to be painful. Instead, stretching should be at a easy pace and it should be comfortable. If your in pain while stretching, then you are overextending the muscle.
