Some good stretches are the butterfly, the lunge, the reverse lunge, and the splits. Hold the butterfly for 30 to 40 seconds and the lunge and the reverse lunge for 20 to 30 seconds. For the splits get down as low as you can and hold for 20 seconds. Don't go low enough down to feel major pain but low enough to feel a stretch. Do that 3 times and see if you get far. Doing the splits take time but don't get dicouraged keep working at it and you'll get it.
