All you do is lay on the floor and scoot your butt up to the wall. With your legs against the wall, spread them apart as far as possible until you feel a little strain. Stay in this position for 5 minutes. Then relax for 5. Do this 3 or 4 times a night and you'll be a rubber band in no time. The longer you do it, increase the time accordingly (10-15mins). Basically, let gravity do the work for you.
