Quadricep stretch:
Seated on the side of a stable chair, move your outside leg back and behind you, tilting your pelvis forward. You should feel the stretch through the top of your thigh. Repeat with the other leg.

Ankle stretch:
Seated in a stable chair, stretch legs out in front of you, feet on the floor. Bend your ankles to point feet toward you. Bend ankles to point feet away from you. If you don't feel the stretch, repeat with your feet slightly off the floor.

Abdominal stretch:
Sit tall on the floor or a chair. Place your arms on the floor or chair behind you, elbows out, hands flat with fingers facing forward. Gently arch the back and push the chest forward to feel the stretch through the abs.
