You really need to do a lot of splits. Strech your back a lot, bending over to touch your toes. Also, to stay tight and not wobble, you can pull yourself up into a lib while standing on the ground. Hold this as long as possible.

Bridges are a must to improve scorpions. The yoga positions called camel and bow are also very helpful in improving back and stomach flexibility.
For heel and front stretches you need to have all 3 splits down to the floor, but you also need to be able to get your torso down onto your front leg or the floor or lean your head back and pull your back foot up to it. (Like a sideways scorpion while sitting in a split.)
You will also need a nice wide straddle where you can twist your torso, go down over one leg, and grab your foot with the opposite hand. (Just look at a bow and arrow sideways and that is exactly what you will see.)
Good luck!
