Try cross-legged for a while, then cross with the other leg in front... kneel....straddle....

Nothing -- except daily yoga -- will increase your lower body flexibility faster.
Wow, Lauren, I've never heard of that. As someone who is pretty uncomfortable sitting on the floor, I have to say it would never have occurred to me, either. I do sit on the floor for a bit to stretch after my gym workout, but that only happens 3-4 times/week (if I'm lucky) and I never do it at home. Think I'll try it!
