What are some stretches I can do to become more flexible?

I know yoga is a great way but I mean like I wake up in the morning waht kind of stretches can i do and do before i go to bed. Someone told me if your stretch everyday when you wake up and before you go to bed you will become more flexible. What are sone stretches that I can do to acomplish this? I am so darn stiff anymore that I cannot get comfortable when I sleep.

Injured myself and needing advice on recovery.?

I do Taekwondo, and a few months ago I did a particularly high kick without any kind of warm up, and even as I was doing it, I felt my hamstring stretch, maybe even tear a little but couldn’t stop. Since then, it’s hurt to do any kind of hamstring stretch, but after I’m properly warmed up my leg doesn’t hurt at all, no matter how high I kick. The problem is it hurts while I’m stretching at the start of class- I have to go very slowly for the first twenty minutes before I can get serious. I took a break for a month, and that helped a bit, but in just a few days it was starting to hurt and there’s been no real improvement. Do you have any advice about what I should do to heal as soon as possible?

Thanks.

i started goin 4 yoga classes, since a month now,but i have stretch marks on my waist!how d i get rid of them?

i want a home remidy!!!!!

I can do most Pilates mat stretches OK, but can’t even start the “The Saw.” Which of my muscles is too tight?

Since I can’t even begin The Saw (I’m too stiff) I’m not getting any more flexible. I’m trying to stretch my hamstrings by touching my toes each day, but this hasn’t helped so far. I’d like to find out which muscle groups are too tight (in addition to my hamstrings) and find out some remedial stretch exercises.
Thanks!

skin susceptable to stretch marks?

I’m young, and haven’t lost or gained too much (I used to be 125, then it gradually got up to 150-ish in maybe a year). For quite a while, i’ve had ugly stretch marks under my stomache, and where my legs meet my torso. Recently I realized that I also have gotten stretch marks in the back of my legs behind me knee caps! I was wondering if some people are more susceptable to stretch marks, because a lady told me she had children and didn’t get them. I’ve never been pregnant. I recently started karate, that might account for the stretchmarks behind my knees, but not the other ones, because I think i’ve had them for a longer time, before I started karate. Thank you for your time reading this.
sorry, to be more specific, i’ve had the stretch marks for years. They haven’t *just* appeared within the past few months. Also, I weighted 135 before, not 125
