Here is my nightly stretching regimen. I do each stretch for about thirty seconds and they all together take about ten minutes.

1. Toe touch
2. Supine hamstring stretch
3. Deep lunge and front leg straight stretches
4. Karate stance
5. Standing quadriceps stretch
6. Left, right, and center splits

This page has been my guide and it has descriptions of all the stretches except the front leg straight stretch which I saw a ten year old doing in some YouTube video after each deep lunge. It is done by kneeling on one knee while holding the other leg straight in front of you and then pressing your torso forward until you can kiss your knee. I added the knee kiss. It is optional but recommended.

FUN FACT: I have gotten pretty good at the toe touch. I can bend in half so well that I am able to palm the floor and look through my legs at my own bum in a mirror. Please, please, please do visual that. You’re welcome.
