f you're going to exercise, you have to stretch, right?

Well, maybe not.

The answer might depend on your goals, and what you mean by "stretch."

There are different types of stretches.

In what are known as "static" stretches, you hold a single position for perhaps as long as 60 to 90 seconds. These stretches are great for increasing flexibility.

But there are also "dynamic" stretches, where you repeatedly — but carefully — move your joints through their full range of motion.

Expert opinion on how to use these stretches has changed over the years. But it's now generally believed that dynamic stretching is best before you exercise, while static stretching is better after.

As Alisa Bowman writes for the Mayo Clinic, dynamic stretching helps improve blood flow and joint mobility, which gets your body ready to exercise. Studies have even found that dynamic stretching before exercise can improve your performance.

Meanwhile, some research has found that static stretching can temporarily weaken your muscles, which is why it's generally no longer recommended before certain sports — and especially not for high-performance athletes.

Instead, static stretches are typically recommended for helping to relax your muscles after exercise. Since you've been moving and increasing blood flow to your joints and muscles, you'll actually be more flexible, so you'll get more benefit from those stretches.

But while you may have been told that stretching will reduce soreness after you exercise, research has found that it really doesn't make much difference.

You've also probably been told to stretch to avoid injuries. But research doesn't seem to support that either — especially for static stretching.

Writing for WebMD, Sonya Collins says that, as long as you stretch sometime, it's fine if you don't do it around the time you exercise.

In fact, some experts say if you're short on time, it's better to exercise without doing any stretching than to cut your workout short!

Herkese merhaba.Bu gün harika bir şiir ile Türkçe’de “if clause” cümlelerini
öğreneceğiz. Hadi başlayalım!
Koşul veya şart kelimeleri İngilizce’de “condition” demek.
Türkçe’de if clause yani koşul cümlesi kurmak aslında çok kolay: sadece if
clause cümlesinin sonuna -sa/-se koşul ekini getiriyoruz. Şu örneğe bakalım :
Yağmur yağar > It rains
Dışarı çıkmam. > I don’t go out.
Koşul cümlemiz “ yağmur yağar”.Yani bu cümlenin sonuna -sa /-se ekini
getiriyoruz.
Yağmur yağarsa dışarı çıkmam. > It means “If it rains ,I won’t go out.”

La Ciudad de México puede visitarse en cualquier estación, aún en invierno ofrece la misma vitalidad que en pleno verano, que es, por cierto, cuando suele llover un más.

Si vienes en primavera (entre marzo y mayo), o en otoño (de septiembre a noviembre) puedes evitar los extremos del frío y la lluvia, aunque mayo suele ser el mes más caluroso.

Durante los meses de invierno, de diciembre a febrero, las temperaturas pueden llegar a ser bastante bajas, sobre todo por las noches y la madrugada. Durante el verano, puedes encontrar fuertes lluvias, por lo general tienen una duración máxima de un par de horas, lo cual suele ocasionar problemas de drenaje e inundaciones menores y por lo tanto podrías llegar a pasar mucho más tiempo atascado en el tráfico.

La primavera y el otoño suelen ser muy agradables, con tardes cálidas y noches frescas. Con un sombrero y un buen bloqueador solar podrás sentirte protegido, ya que los rayos del sol pueden ser intensos en casi cualquier época del año.

El Festival Iberoamericano de Cultura Musical Vive Latino se celebra a mediados de marzo en el Foro Sol y ofrece una variada programación de grupos musicales nacionales e internacionales de distintos géneros. 
EL Festival del Centro Histórico tiene lugar a principios de abril e incluye bailes, música, artes visuales, opera, teatro e historia en muchos sitios de importancia histórica.
El Equinoccio de Primavera se celebra anualmente en Teotihuacán.
Semana Santa y Pascua: la ciudad prácticamente se encuentra vacía durante estas dos semanas, ya que la mayoría de las universidades programan vacaciones similares al spring break. En estos días el tráfico y las idas en metro, u otro tipo de transporte público, suelen ser mucho más tranquilas.
