How does this not have atleast a couple thousand 👍🏿
@@hanielphilip5043 thanks, appreciate it man
Nice work dude
I'm a yoga instructor and for someone who isn't a "professional stretcher or yoga teacher 🙂" I found your alignment and body aware information on point! Even the statement about recognizing how one side of your body was tighter or sorer and attributing it to the Right-side use was very insightful (and true!). Your reminder about sleep, hydration and nutrition as three key pillars to recovery and performance were spot on. Great video. Thanks for providing this.
Me t00😊😊
Following this schedule for 4 years now, it's been the most effective routine in my whole life,
My fitness completely changed.
My suggestion to anyone starting to get into workouts, first, master this routine and make your body flexible, especially make your legs flexible. Your leg is the foundation, it carries your whole body.
The flexibility will give you a headstart in workout.
pls never delete this i’ve been using it for over a year now for hockey and the gym. i could probably recite this video w my eyes close. the best stretching exercises and video i’ve ever found. covers everything and so great with the timer. i even modify it with stretches i like too. simply awesome
you can download this video
I weigh 340 pounds, I used to have a problem hitting the pitch to ping some balls with my friends. My back would start hurting so bad after 15 minutes i would stop. When I started doing your stretch/yoga routinely for 3 weeks I noticed my back stop hurting and i was able to last 45 minutes. Now I do the stretch/yoga routinely daily at 4am and try to hit the pitch everyday at 6 and work on fitness/individual training. My Weight-Loss and football journey is going to be a long one. My goal is to get fit and join a competitive sunday league in the next 2 years.
You've inspired me and so many others to get out there and get after it. All your content is amazing and you're letting people know the truth. Tho I need to watch your football nutrition more haha. Keep up the hard work and Thanks for everything you've done for us
any update on the journey?
Did you join a team?
❤
Its been 2 years how’s it going?
I'm SO glad you didn't lock Gucci up for this video. Thank you.
She's so chill like the music in this video
You lowkey think he doesn’t take care of her 😂
This is by far the most calming stretching experience I’ve had in awhile (and I am a yoga instructor lol). The talking keeps my screaming muscles occupied
Who’s watching and following along 😁
Thank you for your video. I am a Yoga Teacher and currently teaching Children with special need. And I wanted to see which yoga stretches footballers might use and enjoy. Since one of my students today was saying he doesn't like Yoga while he was happily following and doing it all!! So, I have found out that he loves football and I am going to use that reference instead to divert his interest to change his perception on Yoga , perhaps it is in the "word" Yoga.. Anyway, I will introduce footballer's Yoga on our tomorrow's lesson & session.
Thanks, OM Shanti
That’s very special
Great work
Yoga has a lot of associations to it you have to be a certain way in your ‘practice’. I prefer to just stretch because there are no beg or advanced stretchi’s...and for the same reason you mentioned I clicked his link instead of an at home yoga video.
we need more teachers like u,around whole world
@@jukzjee5822 Thank you for appreciating it. Yes, we need to drop our Mind's "plan", our personal agenda and go with the flow like water flows around rocks, bend for whatever is needed and how our talent, gift would serve rather than our own agenda. It's easy, it's just a matter of a choice.
Namaste
Rich people: we wear gucci shoes
Him: I own a gucci cat
Lol
😂😂😂😂
These stretches really helped me recover
love that you explain how to do the stretches and where you should feel it instead of just filming yourself doing them
Just when I needed to watch a video like this 🙌🏽
Javon Turner same
Right
Watched this so many times, I know his script word for word bar for bar
Surprising how a 30 min. video with a non-instructor could be really enjoyed. Appreciate this
Just a man with his cat chillin in the house u know stretching , chilly music in the background . And playing on a professional level , helping others with what u have making great vids . THATS THE DREAM Y'ALL ♥️
MONCEF K MONCEF go away you American mate🤣
Tf u mean , I'm ALGERIAN not american man
Those foot stretches hurt SO good! I literally died laughing between you saying that you don't know the names of the yoga stretches and you yelling at gucci! I wasn't looking for the spiritual yoga so thank you! Made my night!
i been doing this routine literally mostly each day and i swear to god i never felt so much better my back pain , my hips everything got better even my mobility thanks bro love 💯
Saw this vid this morning & have already done the routine twice. I appreciate the different vibes you bring not being a yoga instructor. The athlete vibe is familiar & homey to me, I appreciate that. & I find it funny that my dog is named Gucci lol!

very useful
This is the best stretching video for a footballer, I have really tight hips and this has really helped with that and my overall flexibility altogether, thanks!
How often u doin this
@@mertylmaz2037 me, everyday or every two days. Depending on how my body feels.
I can’t believe I followed through all of it!
I’m 35 this year, mainly been a Futsal gk for about ten tears. I found the abductors and sitting on your ankles the most painful
Even the long straight leg to the side got me and that’s my bread and butter (leg saves)
Subbed!
The whole routine was great!
I’m in my 3rd of being a Futsal keeper now and love this video! Anything else would you recommend in your experience? Thanks
I am COMPLETELY out of shape and remembered doing this stretching routine with you. It feels so low-key and casual....actually relaxing. So, here I am, a couple of years later stretching once again. Also, I think Gucci deserves co-billing and her own show. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks!! been looking for this kind of video for 2 years literally. Only done the normal yoga stuff It's great to see a soccer specific!
You said the s word....
stuff?
Callen Bourgeois soccer lmao
@@calebwood1187 lmao
I’ve never really had a stretching routine and chronic injuries from inflexibility pushed me out of pro soccer, day 1 of starting a routine with this video and man it was a massive struggle but going to keep at it 2-3 times a week and see where we end up! Thanks for putting this out there for us soccer players!
This is the best stretch I've done. I haven't played for almost a year. This has helped me play pick up and helped my mobility and performance on pitch.
Watching this one for the 10th time, know all your about the speak by now 😂
Same😂
Same
Same
what did he sayyyyy
Foreal😭
Wow this is great. my first time and I needed because I had a game yesterday and all my leg muscles were not so good but this help it and I wil continue uses this exercises for my own good thank you
The first stretch it's what we as Muslims do when praying 😂😂
farhan hassan when
Frrrrr 😂😂😂that thing so hard
@@sanartalal4390 between the two sujuud
28:21 aswell
Lol yeah
I still do these till this day , all mesmerized. I like to just come back once in awhile. Thank you Matt!
In case anybody is wondering the last stretch he does works his glutious medius not your glutious Maximus (Butt)
But it is a little more toward your quad which helps your kicking motion in soccer and the most powerful kickers have a really stretched out glutious medius
Thank you and God bless
i am following few stretches for 15 secs and few for 60 secs, and most of them for 30 secs for past week every day before and after i play football. Huge thanks Matt. saviour. i have less fatigue and cramps for the rest of the day.
Matt “I’m not a yoga instructor” Sheldon
First comment
I'm a Yoga Instructor and I'm going to start teaching a soccer team soon. I really like your video - it inspired me a lot 👍😊
You explained a lot of important things especially that every body is different, that you always feel into your body, the difference between discomfort and pain... 😊
Thank you so much for sharing.
this lower body stretch was amazing. can you do an upper body one as well?
I have done this routine a bunch of times that I feel the 30 minutes go flying, and I really see some improvements in my range of motion, so combined with strength training I now I feel better and strong.
Good!!
Thanks!!
How much times do you do it in a week??
I do it 3 times a week
Thx
“I’m just a professional footballer” 😏
Exactly 😂
so casual man lmaooo
2nd Divison team ranked 16 last year , division 7 in germany , amateur league in NZ .... PROOOfessional oh yeah !!
@@heldtkochlyse6521 more professional than you
@@jimcarrey2014 How ?
I always get injured in my hip flexors, but now I’ll strengthen it and stretch it and just begin to do a lot of injury prevention. This video has been my go-to video for the last 3-4 months
My personal stretching routine -

Repeat 3 of the most challenging stretches.
This was great! I have a 13 year old footballer and getting him to stretch isn’t the easiest! We did this together and your tips throughout were so helpful! Thank you.
Perfect yoga video! I did this for the last week and has helped me tremendously! (Edit - I have now done this for the last 3 months and I feel amazing!!!)
Any updates?
SIUUUUUUUUUUU
What changes did u notice
Quality👏use this all the time as a football player, difficult at the beginning but once you get in the rhythm your body feels brand new.
Never apologize for featuring a cat :-)
In case you haven't seen, Millionaire Hoy is back in RUclips! I've done your stretch routine a few times and its really helped, thanks for sharing this with us.
1 Peter 5:8
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
That's the best stretching video I have ever seen. I really like that you talk during the exercises
Everytime I get about 1 month into my training sessions I tend to get injured ! So this will definitely help with recovery thanks !
Literally do this twice a week and it's so useful and its really loosening up my muscles good. Thanks man
This dude definitely has a calming presence
Awesome job man. No fluff just stretching
Love the idea Matt! Stretching is always important. I switched from soccer to Volleyball this past month but I still love your content. Even though I stopped playing, your videos always awsome!
Thanks! My 10 yro son is a soccer player and just had a growth spurt so has lost some mobility. I am a lot less flexible than I use to be so we are starting this together. It’s a good way for us to spend time together and also get more lumber so we can avoid injuries. Keep up the hood work with the videos. Thanks again.
Finally found a good football yoga video 🔥🔥 explains everything well and has definitely helped me when playing 💪💪
Thanks you for this, i don't have a very good english (i'm uruguayan) but i use your video. God blessed you, thank you very much brother 🫶🏻
I have never stretched out like today. Thanks Matt! So easy to sit and do it with u. This is something i would've never done on my own
I'm a former (American) football player, tight from years of strength training. This video is perfect for me. I'm not an aspiring Yogi, but I need to improve my flexibility, especially in my hips/quads/hams/lower back. Thanks for the upload.
I am glad that the ancient wisdom of INDIA (yoga and meditation) is being adapted and appreciated all over the world now..
As a young athlete struggling with season due to pains and tightness in muscles this helped so much just the simple and efficient stretches are so convenient thank you so much
Who’s reading the comments when doing the stretching?😅
I am!!!!
these stretches are helping me improve my posture during salaat! (muslim prayer). Thank you!
You know pain were you have to giggle a little bit, yeah that was me 😂
Hi I'm a young guy and I am doing this routine every day it is really helpful thanks matt your the best :)
I’ve followed this routine a few times now and it’s really helpful, thanks Matt!
Nice chill out tunes in the background and I enjoy your stretch sequence over yoga because it feels more authentic. There aren’t official names it is what It is
Them hamstring stretches were killers I went to get up off the floor for a live lesson and the pain in my legs 😂
Great Video my whole body is loose, this got rid of my ankle pain and groin pain. Wonderful video
I just finished the full yoga routine. Loved it feels soo great and relaxed. For the last 3 min i focused on my upper body
Just started my high school season and right now we are going through preseason. With it being only the second session my hip flexor has gotten tight. This was a perfect video to help me and I appreciate you showing us your routine!
Gucci's like "Pay attention to me! Daddy I wanna play" hahaha so cute 😍
Ikr
Matt u r a flippin legend, thanks for this amazing vid (ps: u and Gucci vibin together is so wholesome)
I rarely leave comments on RUclips videos. But had to congratulate you and give you much deserved props for this video. Found it less than a week ago and stretched along with you 3 times already. Its my go to before playing. 👏⚽️
This is by far my favorite (stretch, smoothie etc.)
Dude ive never felt so much descomfort and then relief ever before. Great video liked and saved
Just did the whole thing with you, will try and do it at least 3 times a week. Thanks for the video 👍
Love the Mill Hoy shoutout 😍 I caved and bought the subscription to his site this year and it’s been sooo worth it
Anyone here still doin the same routine in 2024
I’m still doing it in 2026
🙋🏾♂️🙋🏾♂️
This is great. It’s helping me get more limber and helping my son stretch for American Football.
Gucci is actually a pretty good name 😂🤣
Yo first time I did the entire thing and followed along. Never knew what was real pain until I did this entire stretching routine. I'm going to keep commenting on this as a thread every time I do the routine and post my brief thoughts to see my progress. Thanks for this Matt! One of my all-time favorites!
guessing u gave up
Oof
I love this routine, do it all the time now! Thanks for sharing. From, a fellow soccer player
I learned a bunch of real good stretches for my own routine. Thank you so much.
these stretch's sent me to another planet
Today is my first game back after my acl surgery, i normally watch this video before my game! Its been 1.5 years since ive watched this
I watch dis for gucci
Thank you so much for this and all your other stretching routines as they have really helped me - I used to be really inflexible and I actually had never intentionally stretched my hip flexor before watching these stretching videos. And as a young footballer those toe stretches to another milky a different dimension. Thank you so much, love your vids
Super educational! Very clear! Motivated! Thank you very much!
i’m pretty flexible and i’ve never really felt a stretch in my quads with the common stretches and i’ve been feeling so much discomfort in my quads recently and that couch quad stretch absolutely killed me!
The cat kept the time flowing because there was something cute and playful to look at each minute.
exactly the video i was looking for . been searching for something like that for months , thank you
Thank you Matt this was fantastic, I'm definitely implementing this into my recovery
Bro this really helps. Just a slight problem is that you feel amazing just after the session but the next day my hips were paining but as you told you are not a professional so no problem
Matt do a foam rolling routine. Please
he has it was a long time ago
I am a yoga teacher and you did fantastic. 🎉❤️ There's no need to use 'correct' names for the poses, the benefits are all the same. 🙏
I literally just noticed that you’re #13 (at least at the time this vid was released) I’m #13 too! And I love that number :D
Also great vid keep it up
Very good
Bonus-Points for the cat, the mentioned pain (that I feel, too) and (the mentined) past and progress (gives me hope).
18:00
You have to admit
Matt is a good cat whisperer
Just finished up doing this stretch routine. Played a game last night and was feeling very sore, but after doing this I feel excellent. Thanks Matt!
