It doesn't necessarily depend on the time. It's the quality. If you stretch daily and push yourself even more, then you get a flexible body. You will start to feel the difference in 2 to 4 weeks if you practice 5 days a week.

There is an integral relationship between flexibility and strength and although the concept seems simple enough, it's not. These two are so closely related that if there is an imbalance over the other, injury will result in one of two ways: Increase in flexibility without strength results in joint instability.

During exercise such as yoga, blood flow increases to the muscles bringing oxygen and essential nutrients to the active tissues. ... Over time, with regular stretching, the muscles become more flexible. Extensible muscles are far less susceptible to damage in the future, and put less strain on the body's joints.

Easing tight muscles requires more than a good bend and hold. That's because muscle tightness occurs due to more than just physiological factors (aka: a muscle being contracted super tightly). Tightness also occurs when your body's neuromuscular control gets a bit overprotective.

The major risk factor for an alteration in mobility is aging. Gender and fluid level are not identified as major risk factors for an alteration in mobility. Genetic disorders can cause mobility​ issues; however, genetics is not a major risk factor for the development of mobility alterations.

According to the Mayo Clinic, for a good level of flexibility men aged 25 should be able to reach to 19.5 inches and women should hit 21.5 inches. Men aged 35 should reach 18.5 inches and women 20.5 inches. At the age of 45, men should aim to reach 17.5 inches and women 20 inches.
