Quick note about stretches

Just a quick note about the stretching routine:
Stretches
Downward stretch: 5,10,15,20,25 seconds
Upward stretch: 5,10,15,20,25 seconds
Forward stretch: 5,10,15,20,25 seconds
(done in rotation)
The downward stretch is an 'under the leg' stretch. You put one foot on the seat of a chair etc. and reach under that leg and around. The leg creates a fulcrum which allows for greater force and less arm fatigue.
As well, I'm considering increasing the stretch times to 10,15,20,25,30 - but I may wait a few weeks.
