    You can try PNF stretching (proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation). It's really good for improving flexibility. Just make sure you're properly warmed up before doing this and you have a training buddy to help.

    PNF basically works to override the stretch reflex and increases the joints range of motion.

    PNF is dangerous for beginners

    Static stretching would most likely be a better option

    Maybe try some yoga or something? Or just stretch everyday. The best time to stretch is when your muscles are already warm - ie after exercise
