MarcM, you make a good point about being too flexible. I have seen problems from that, too. Another quote from that site: "Research has shown that a good pre-exercise warm-up—which can include stretching as one of its components—can be beneficial. The key is to realize that stretching by...

And THIS is one of the best reads I have seen in a long time about exercise, conditioning, rehab, strengthening for injury prevention, etc. It covers a lot of important topics in a pretty concise aticle. http://www.sportsinjurybulletin.com/archive/0123a-sport-injuries.htm
