These joint mobility movements should be through a pain-free range of motion. Don't force any movement, and don't push through any pain. Explore!

On your back, cross one leg over the other. Gently rock back and forth. Should feel a gentle mobilization in your low back.
#2 Hip 90/90 Glute Stretch​ x :30sec
Sit with your front leg in 90degrees bent position. Lean over the front leg and feel a stretch in your glute
#3 Hip Flexor Stretch​ x 8 each side
Half-kneeling position. Gently lunge forward and feel a stretch on the back leg hip flexor (front of the hip).
#4 World's Greatest Stretch​ x 8 each side
8x rotations, 8x knee extensions. With the knee extensions should feel a good stretch in the hamstring. 
STRENGTH ROUND 1 (3 sets)
These exercises are meant to be done in a circuit. Meaning - go from one exercise to the next until the prescribed number or sets is complete. Shoot for a minimum of 3 sets (3 times through the circuit). Eventually, with consistency, try to build up to 4-5 sets.

Sit low into this one. Should feel the hips as well as the quads.
If you don't have a band, try the side plank variation

#3 Russian Twist x :30sec
Keep the heels off the floor, rotate side to side. Keep those abs tight!
STRENGTH ROUND 2 (3 sets)

#1 Air Squat x 15 reps
You should feel a muscle burn by the end of this - if not, add more reps or add some weights!
