Also, what activities are you warming up for? Generally, it is considered appropriate to hold a static(no bouncing) stretch for 30 seconds(at least) on each stretch. Stretching should be done both pre/post workout. There is also activity specific stretching that can be done as well as dynamic warmup type activities that may be considered stretching as well.
