For most people, a general recommendation is to perform about **5 to 10 minutes** of dynamic stretching as part of a warm-up before participating in physical activities. This preparation helps to increase blood flow to the muscles and improve flexibility and range of motion.
Static stretching, where you hold stretches for longer periods, is typically better suited for after workouts or activities rather than before.
Your choices seem to go beyond this recommended range, with **10 minutes** being the closest appropriate option for pre-activity stretching.
