So for example, my hamstrings are super tight and I’ve been stretching them for several days in a row in hopes of becoming more flexible.
Will I do more harm than good if I stretch them for say 15-20 minutes everyday or am I better off stretching them a few times per week?

Stretching has to happen on a regular basis. It should be daily, especially as we get older and tighter. Aim for a program of daily stretches or at least three or four times per week. The cumulative effect of stretching Stretching once today won’t magically give you perfect flexibility. You’ll need to do it over time and remain committed to the process. It takes weeks to months to get flexible, and you’ll have to continue working on it to maintain it. Hold your stretches for 20-30 seconds, 2-3 times per side.

Healthy adults should do flexibility exercises for all major muscle-tendon groups—neck, shoulders, chest, trunk, lower back, hips, legs, and ankles—at least two to three times a week.
For optimal results, you should spend a total of 60 seconds on each stretching exercise.
So, if you can hold a particular stretch for 15 seconds, repeating it three more times would be ideal.
If you can hold the stretch for 20 seconds, two more repetitions would do the trick.
A regular stretching routine is a simple yet powerful addition to your daily self-care.

Stretching keeps the muscles flexible and healthy, and we need that flexibility to maintain a range of motion in the joints. Ideally, it should be daily. Aim for a program of daily stretches, or at least three or four times per week.
It takes weeks to months to get flexible, and you'll have to continue working on it to maintain it.
You'll need to do it over time and remain committed to the process.
All it takes to warm up the muscles before stretching is five to 10 minutes of light activity, such as a quick walk.
Hold a stretch for 30 seconds.

His prescription? Ten minutes a day of mobility moves.
We sit too much and don’t put our bodies into enough different positions.
You need just 10 minutes.
That’s not a tough stretch.
Want to get mobilized? Try the four stretching moves below.
Perform each exercise every day for the prescribed time or number of reps.
Do them before your workout on training days, and intermittently throughout your workday or while winding down on your rest days, says Doug Kechijian, D.P.T., who created this routine.
I felt relief after the first day, so I kept the circuit up.
On gym days it was my warmup.
On rest days, I did it in the office or at home in front of the TV.
It was totally worth it.
Within a month my pain was a memory.
Being more limber allowed me to use better form and build new muscles, but I’ll let my PRs speak for me: I soon doubled my pullup and pushup numbers to 15 and 50, respectively, and I could run 1 ½ miles in under nine minutes.
Then one night, as I sank into the pigeon pose, I noticed my girlfriend staring at me.
“Damn, the witch doctor got you jacked,” she said.
I ignored the odd looks from my coworkers and girlfriend, who dubbed Kechijian “the witch doctor.”
Instead of reps, each was done for a series of extremely deep breaths, a signal for your body to release muscle tightness.
Take the modified pigeon stretch.
“Most people stand with their hips shifted to the right, which causes their left hip to tighten up,” Kechijian says.
This pose helps redistribute that weight.
As I sank into it, the painful area in my hip felt like it was being pulled apart—in a good way.
Other moves seemed meant for contortionists.
