Hello. I have an Apple Watch 6 and I would like to track my stretches as a workout. However, I am not sure which workout type to use. I would greatly appreciate any advice.

Hello Mofr5,
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. Please see the following:
"Add a workout
You can browse and add new workout types to the Workout app.
Choose Other when you can't find a matching workout type. In all workouts, the Heart Rate and Motion sensors work together to give you accurate credit. When you use Other, or any workout type available in the Add Workout section, you earn the credit equivalent of a brisk walk when these sensor readings are unavailable.
Learn how to get accurate measurements using your Apple Watch to make sure that you're earning the most from your workout."
Cheers.

Hello Mofr5,
If nothing matches specifically for a workout type the page will help to suggest, "Choose Other when you can't find a matching workout type." In this case that may be the best course of action.

Thank you. I looked at the available workout types and saw a flexibility option. Should I use flexibility, yoga or other for stretches?
