what is the maximum amout of time that you can wait to do stretching after doing aerobics

The idea is to have very warm tissues and to have less adhesive tissues. The longer you wait the less advantageous stretch will be for improving flexibility. You can continue to move at a less intense level for a while, but it must at least keep body temperature up. If you were to stop exercising/moving all together (sitting or lying down for example) and not stretch within about 5 minutes, I would recommend performing a warm up of about 10 minutes (longer if you will be stretching muscle or muscle groups that are habitually tight).
