Newbie Stretching

In the newbie stretch routine it says to stretch for 5 minutes (Ten - 30 sec. Stretches). The routine say to gradually increase to 10 min total of stretches over about 6 weeks time. Does this mean to increase the number of seconds during each stretch? For instance, if I do Ten 30 sec. Stretches the first week then increase to Ten 40 sec. Stretches the second week, is that right? Or do I increase the number of times I do the 30 sec. Stretches? For example, for the first week I do Ten 30 sec. Stretches but for the second week do Fifteen 30 sec. Stretches. Really I’m just kind of confused, so if anyone can help me, please do.

I would increase the time of stretches to 40 seconds, 50 seconds etc.

I was also looking for the answer to the same question. Thanks Bird2.

The longer period of time you stretch in one session the more you will gain. IMO one session of 30 minutes is better than 30 stretches of 1 minute. This is pretty much corroborated by stretchers like the penimaster. And forget about stopping at 10 minutes. The longer the better.
