Explanation:

1. Static stretching should not be painful. It should be a comfortable, gentle pull on the muscles. So the statement "No pain, no gain" does not apply and it should not feel uncomfortable.
2. When static - stretching, once the muscles relax, it is appropriate to move further into the stretch and hold for 20 - 30 seconds to increase flexibility.
3. The best time to perform static stretching is after a workout when muscles are warm. Warm muscles are more elastic and less likely to be injured during stretching.
