It is important to note that stretching is NOT conditioning and you should be quite careful to not stretch with the same intensity, especially in the beginning, that you would use when conditioning.

For someone who is extremely tight and finds stretching painful and uncomfortable, I actually recommend beginning with stretching once per week. After four to six weeks, when your body has adjusted and the stretching is no longer the ordeal that it once was, you should then progress to twice a week. After you body adjusts to this new volume (i.e. by no longer being extremely sore by the next scheduled stretch), you may then again add another day to your schedule.
