Legs
Quads: Standing on one foot pull the other foot up (while still pointing your knee down)
Hamstrings: band down at the waist to "touch your toes"
Calves: use a wall, put both hands on it and step away from the wall while keeping the leg that's being stretched straight. (one leg at a time)
Glutes (Butt): Sit down and pull one leg towards your chest while the foot is over the other leg.
Ankles: sit "japanese style" (not cross-legged "indian style") and lean back.

Trunk of body
Abdomen: lay down (face down) and push your body up with your arms while the rest is still laying down
Deltoids: (those are under , and slightly behind, your armpits) stand up, reach as high as you can with one hand and then lean to the opposite side of the body.
Back Muscles: while doing the Deltoids just lean forward at the waist
Arms
Shoulders: pull one straighted arm across your chest
Bicepts: from a standing position, arms at your sides, pull one arm straight back (without twisting it in any way left or right) (a wall or tall chair is useful too or a partner)
Tricepts: Reach for the sky and bend the arm at the elbow. Pull on it with the other hand (behind your head at the elbow)
Forearms: Pull your wrists inwards, then outwards (use the other hand to help stretch).

2006-02-14 [gypsygrl]: know any stretches that could help with my lower back?

2006-02-14 [Son Goku]: try standing upright, stick your arms straight into the air, and then bend sideways, backwards, etc. it stretches in various ways if you just rotate all your body like a whirly thing :P.    Also, try sitting down, pull one knee close to your chest, then use the opposite elbow to pull yourself and "twist" your back. focus it right and you can stretch any part of your back that way too.
