    Hello :)
    Is stretching daily a bad idea? I often work my legs such that they are a little tight for a day or two afterwards. Is it ok to stretch them lightly on off-days?

    However to gve you an easy answer you should be doing light stretching as a cooldown from workouts etc. and then you can do deeper stretching on off days. There is not issue in stretching every day if you dont strain yourself

    Depends on how you're stretching. If you are using dynamic stretching then that's fine. If you are using more intensive methods to increase your static flexibility then I would avoid that.

    If you aren't sure about any of that, use the search function :)
