I typed feedback on one of your other "Beginner Flexibility Routine" videos a couple of weeks ago. I mentioned that I am a 70-year-old male who will never be as flexible as you, Maddy, but was convinced that if I recognized my own limitations and stayed within myself I thought these routines would be helpful. That has been the case. I don't do them daily, but I never miss more than one day. They are, indeed, helpful in keeping me more flexible and feeling better. Thanks so much!
People often tell me they don't like stretches or just can't do yoga because they're not flexible enough.. I would say, maybe you are not flexible Yet, that’s why we need to work on it. Vulnerability makes us even more stronger and beautiful as long as we embrace our imperfection. Thanks Maddie for sharing another lovely stretch routine today!
I don't get this attitude. It's like people saying they would like to pole dance but they are not going to go for a class because they don't have arm strength. Well, if you went to a class, it'll help you build the strength...
I feel you would be a good podcaster. Your voice is soothing and you can be motivational about your own fitness joiner and building your brand madfit. I would love to hear more behind the scenes of all the hard work you do!
6 months ago I'd start my day with a cup of coffee and spend 30 mins scrolling thru social media- now I start everyday with one of your stretch yoga videos before my weight/cardio workouts- its made a big difference in how I physically feel and my mental clarity- Thank you
I love how u take ur time teaching us every detail, i mean that's how it supposed to be, and others make it so fast that I can't follow what they're doing at all, but u really takes your time, ur the best!
I feel stretching exercises are harder than hiit and cardio cause when I'm stretching I can't see what Maddie´s doing :,D Happy stretching day, everyone!
January challenge here I actually started doing these routines a couple months ago daily and now im almost at my splits both front and side. Just keep at it!! It feels so good to be flexible. Also, there are plenty of great active stretching videos too out there to pair with this one to retain your flexibility. It would be great if Maddie could make some active stretching videos too!!
I'm so glad I found these videos during quarantine! While I usually stretch after workouts, I never really indulge myself and spend 30 minutes doing a stretching routine. Now that I'm not commuting, this is one of the things I'm doing with the extra time, and it's really helping. I'm pretty flexible, but even so, some of the stretches are challenging, especially when you hold them for a long time. They've helped me realize where I'm really tight - hips, hips, hips - so thanks for helping me stay sane and healthy!
It would be awesome if you made a more intense stretch video!! Like an intensive routine that would be done only once or twice a week. Thank you for all you do!!! You're really helping me on my fitness journey.
You’re the only person I watch on TH-cam for workouts!!! I don’t want to hurt myself being a beginner and working out at home- and your pointers/reminders on form have helped me correct my workouts and keep me on track/avoid injury. I have been dealing with a ton of pain all over (mainly back) due to a pinched nerve so I’ve been doing your stretching/yoga videos every day. My suggestion would be to do a couple more videos of yoga/stretching that can also tone or get your heart rate up a little more without overdoing it! I always feel like I want a little bit more of a workout but with my injury I don’t want to do other workouts to make it worse.
I am in love with this stretch routine! Not even 15 minutes in and I’m excited to leave feedback because I already feel looser and less tight! I love how you actually stretch for longer than 10 seconds, how intense and effective the stretches are and that they are dance inspired! As a dancer this takes me back to practice/rehearsals while also leaving me feeling much more relaxed and stress free as well. Thank you for sharing these routines! They are my go-to videos and they got me back into stretching! 💕💛
this released such amount of stress from my body and soul, that I do not even know there is! I cried through the whole exercises, this was so good! Thank you Maddie for this experience!!
I made some strech exercises this week, and Im felling a lot better. My back pain is gone and I finally could relax and meditate after these exercises. Im from Brazil. thanks a lot for sharing your talent!!!
Thank you for the new stretch routine. Just so you know I'm a 66 year old fit but not flexible lady in the UK and your routines are really helping - nearly need lockdown to continue (not really) so I can work more on my flexibility. Loving the good half hour videos all the others on TH-cam are short.
Day 10 of January workout calendar: I normally do one of the cool down stretches after a workout and but this was more in depth and much needed. 😌🙌🏽 let’s keep it up everyone
Super accessible thank you! I appreciate how authentic you are with no extra cheering/fake enthusiasm. And that the focus is on stretching! If I want to add yoga elements in I can or I can just stretch!
This is the one! I have searched on TH-cam for a stretch and flexibility routine that was both accessible and challenging but I never found one that worked for me. Until now! The routine, the music, the pacing is all excellent. Now all I have to do is practice with it a million times so that I can get to the flexibility that is my goal!
started this beginner's routines a month ago, do at least one everyday. It's making me feel better about myself... thank you :) for your time and for explaining the exercises so well! Keep up the amazing work!
Day 2 of doing your stretches. I might be ridiculously inflexible however you're such calming voice to hear throughout the routine, thank you for taking the time to explain things as you go 🥰
I was getting really sore from working from home and not really going anywhere back in April. I found your stretching videos and started doing them a few times a week, and then I started exercising regularly. Thank you for getting me started again, I really enjoy your stretch videos and look forward to more!
This is a wonderful stretch at the end of a long day in the office (or home office..). My shoulders/neck, knees were feeling stiff and painful and this helped loosen and relax my whole body.. felt so good, thank you!
This felt so delicious, honestly!! I feel like my body is thanking me for doing this after a couple of days without exercising! Love these stretch videos!!
THANK YOU! totally need this every morning. Use to be a competitive cheerleader for 16 years and even I forget how important it is to stretch everyday!
I love all your workouts. They are really helping my motivation. Thank you for all the hard work ! Just by following your warm up to HIIT to stretch workouts routine for two weeks, my flexibility is getting better and better. Feels so awesome 👏
@@Eline1809 thats how everyone begins. do it every single day. after two months of doing her stretches daily every video is a breeze. working out and becoming flexible is does not come easy. learn to control your breathing and stay positive. its only difficult in the beginning.
This workout is an intermediate level that's why! I'm an ex-dancer and now qualified ISTD teacher and somebody who is inflexible would no way be capable of remaining in that lunge position with their back up straight or do the half split with their legs fully stretched like what she's doing in the video, working with the correct posture is whats important at first then inhaling and exhaling at the right point of the exercises, this is important because if there is tension stretching becomes a lot harder, but I can go on all day about this, and here is no place to give a lecture, you're all welcome to try out my stretching for beginner tutorials.
Finsishing my first week routine with you without missing a day. I didn't fell like streching because I was hurting a lot but it helped so much. I'm 50 and starting gym again after 5 years of and 20 kg to lose. Hope I'm going to keep on with it because I feel so much energy I didn't have before. Thanks for it
Please make more stretching videos! Intermediate and Advanced videos would be amazing too that range from 20mins to a full hour of stretching. I’ve been doing your videos everyday for the past 3 weeks and I love them!
I love this stretching routine. I have made Thursday my stretch focused days, I am not flexible and trying to focus on that too. This one is perfect because it challenges me without it being impossible. You do a great job modifying and explaining where I should feel it.
Fantastic stretching class!. I suffer with arthritis which is slowly starting to affect most of my body with inflammation and stiffness. I am not going to let it define me and I am determined it won't!!. This class is helping so much to resist the stiffness!! I feel great!.
Thank you so, so much Maddie! I woke up feeling super sore from yesterday's workout, did this after breakfast and now I feel amazing. Have a great day everyone, wherever you are!
More stretch routines!! Absolutely love them. Used to be a cheerleader and gymnast but now that I'm in my mid-late twenties I neglect stretching so much! I really like the hip stretches in some of your older videos. Anything to help with splits!
So, the title is 'for the inflexible' and that describes me perfectly, so I was anticipating being shown how to position myself to BEGIN to gain some flexibility, ways to achieve the stretch safely, some ways to prop myself, where to start....instead, I saw a very flexible, beautiful woman, putting herself in positions that I am not currently capable of, with no suggestion, guide or demonstration as to what that may look like for an inflexible person. I hope to achieve an increased level of flexibility; however, I did not find this video helpful in guiding me, queen of inflexibility, to a safe and helpful position, to be able to stretch safely and effectively. Other than that, I've totally loved the January workout schedule so far, and am looking forward to another week of amazing workouts. Please continue into February, as this is an amazing program!!!
I think what you're experiencing is what most people with limited mobility feel when they see someone really flexible. I'm really inflexible, been stretching and doing yoga on and off and come around to the idea of 'inflexibility' is relative so it's hard for some people to gauge on what to do. Most of the moves she does are actually basic but she is just more flexible than most so it looks complex and scary to approach. It really is just following her instructions and pushing your body as far as it tells you it can go. You will feel awkward and there will be discomfort, (but no sharp pain). So for example, when she does a forward bend, I'm not capable of getting my body to bend in half like hers. I've improved and still struggling to hit a 90-degree angle but I just stop where I feel the stretch because that's all that matters. Doing the routine on a regular you will see your body will eventually loosen up. You're never really going to find that one person that will you give you all the answers, I went through a few yoga teachers and read a lot of articles but what helped was practicing, breathing and taking mini-breaks to check my form. If you need or would like something to assist in moves where you are unable to touch the ground or get your leg straight, I would recommend yoga blocks/stack of books and a stretch-band/towel.
These stretches are easy enough to do for someone that isn't very flexible. Don't try to look exactly like Maddie. She's capable of going all the way because of how flexible she is. If you feel the stretch then you're doing it correctly. It just takes doing the stretches regularly for you to see improvements. I'm really inflexible too but I could still do this routine even if I can't reach as far as Maddie can.
thank you for that! i've been inflexible my whole life and now i'm trying to change that. could you please do flexibility routine but focusing mainly on hamstrings? it would be so helpful.
Took me almost a week to be able to follow the video till the end but i can already see huge gains in my flexibility and recovery after workouts Thanks for this💕
this was very relaxing and made me let go of some suppressed built up emotions, it's like therapy. and my body feels more flexible. thank you so much for the hard work you put into your content, you're really helping people!
Hey Maddie! I have donc over and over again your stretches routine and they have helped me improved a lot. Indeed, I am now able to do things that I wouldn’t thought I could be able to do 2 months ago. So do you think you could consider doing a more advance routine for those of us who feel like they wanna challenge themselves? Love ya
I've been noticing my joints and muscles tightening up over the last week, so I decided to do this routine before I get ready for bed and I feel so much better, more relaxed and loose, thank you ❤
Great stretching exercise. I had hurt my muscles in the past while exercising in my room due to COVID-19. These exercises have relaxed my muscles and pain has decreased a lot This exercise worked like medicine for me.
I started following your stretching videos almost 2 weeks ago and I can already see and feel progress and first of all, thank you for your videos and second I would like to see some stretches for feet, ankles, hands and fingers
I love your stretching routines, they are really helpful and are helping me gain some flexibility slowly but surely. I do one every day even if it's just the 15 minute one. I love that you mix them up a bit.i know lots of folks are looking for advanced flexibility routines and I totally understand that, as you are a dancer and so flexible yourself but I personally really appreciate you taking the time to include these videos that are good to help gain and maintain flexibility. I love your videos and you have been a huge help to my lockdown workouts. Xx love from the UK
I haven't been stretching for like 5 years, and now that I started doing it again 3 days ago, I have to say that it's truly addictive, I love it! This like my new hobby. :D
This routine was great and much needed for me right now. Is it possible to post a more intermediate/advanced stretching routine? I can always adapt the beginner ones as needed, but I enjoying trying new and different stretches so it would be great to see what you like to do. Thanks!
Amazing stretch! Great way to start my day. I've been following a lot of your routines over the past year and I just can't get enough. You have changed my life for the better. Thank you!
LOVE your stretch videos!! I am not flexible and doing you stretches proves it. However, I'm always astonished how loos my hips feel afterwards. Keeps them coming!
Amazing stretch! I'm definitely guilty of not stretching out properly after a workout or even after a day at the desk. I'm glad you're making these videos to help encourage me to be more stretchy!
I agree! I feel there are many dancers in quarantine trying to think of all the advanced stretches to do. It would be really helpful if you could possibly provide us with a stretching video to help out us dancers! I know you've mentioned that you did ballet once :)
I'm an ex-dancer and I have my own stretch tutorials on my YT channel, maybe Maddie is catering for the majority, seeing as most people don't process the turn out and flexibility as dancers have, by the way, I don't want to be critical but no way is this a beginners workout,I have taught inflexible people and they can't even keep there backs up straight even with their legs not stretched, you're all welcome to use my stretch tutorials anyway
I feel so good after doing this workout! I used to be fairly flexible but I stopped dancing when I went to uni and now I can barely touch my toes! Certain movements were really difficult but the more I practice, the better I will get!
My balance and strength suck so yoga positions have always been difficult for me. Despite that, I have been trying to incorporate it into my routine because I love it when I can actually get into a flow. The more you do something the better you get. Thanks for the video! The music you chose was really relaxing!
I love this video, and I used it the day before my cross country meet to help with recovery. This video felt great, so thank you! Now all I have to do is stretch out my calves/ankles on my own and run my race!
I love all those vids about stretches for the inflexible! I am too inflexible and I really appreciate your workout about that topic because I want to be better. Thank you very much!!!
Feel so relieved after all Maddie`s routines) thnx for your hard and important work, we all need these videos every day to make ourselves a bit happier. 😊
I appreciate all of this.. I went on something of a binge and watched all your old videos and to see your development and how much you've grown... girl, get it!
perfect for my rest day! I usually do a 5-15 minute stretch in the morning and a 5-15 stretch minute stretching again at night. But since today was an active rest day for me, I went on a walk and then did this!
Who’s trying to learn the splits (or at least be more flexible) before quarantine is done??
👇🏽👇🏽
Me 👏🏻
I was trying before all of this lol.
Let’s be honest I’ve been trying for life but now I have more time to do it 😝
Meeee
lol trying to learn contortion so far going well surprisingly

Totally agree :)
I am super inflexible and that is why I started doing those stretches of Maddie almost 2 weeks ago and I can already see a difference
Sophie Glad to hear! Consistency is the key to make a steady progress. Best luck, Sophie.. from Montreal🙏

JANUARY WORKOUT PLAN - DAY 10: What a peaceful way to end my day....I really enjoyed this stretch and feel relax for my day 11 :-) Thanks
@Alena Wratten Same here 😂😜
I feel stretching exercises are harder than hiit and cardio cause when I'm stretching I can't see what Maddie´s doing :,D
Happy stretching day, everyone!
Who’s here on day 9?? 😁
Such a great stretch! Loved this
I skipped for like 2 days because I really needed to get my mind straight and I did! So I’m glad to workout again 😩🙂
@@euphoria6859 glad your feeling better and continuing to workout! When my mind is boggled sometimes there nothing better than stretching:)
Day 10!
i almost gave up because i don’t like yoga and stretching but i’m glad i finished! day 10✅

You are saving my body from chronic pain. Thanks for the routines. I love working out with you.

started this beginner's routines a month ago, do at least one everyday. It's making me feel better about myself... thank you :) for your time and for explaining the exercises so well! Keep up the amazing work!
I REALLY appreciate that you go through the whole thing with us and not make us pause the video to finish each step.
Thank you so much for all these stretching routines! I‘ve been stretching everyday since lockdown because of your videos.. I love them!🥰
Day 2 of doing your stretches.
I might be ridiculously inflexible however you're such calming voice to hear throughout the routine, thank you for taking the time to explain things as you go 🥰
I was getting really sore from working from home and not really going anywhere back in April. I found your stretching videos and started doing them a few times a week, and then I started exercising regularly. Thank you for getting me started again, I really enjoy your stretch videos and look forward to more!
I literally never noticed the 30 min go by. Easily the biggest accomplishment that makes me feel good about my day.
I think this is so great, finally a really long video with just stretches, no yoga nothing just working on flexibility. Love it!
This is a wonderful stretch at the end of a long day in the office (or home office..).
My shoulders/neck, knees were feeling stiff and painful and this helped loosen and relax my whole body.. felt so good, thank you!
Could you do an advanced one pls❤️🤧this one really good by the way!!
Although I’m not inflexible, I’m gonna start doing this in the morning to get out any kinks + increase flexibility 🧡 thank u!
update???
This felt so delicious, honestly!! I feel like my body is thanking me for doing this after a couple of days without exercising! Love these stretch videos!!
I'm so grateful that I found your videos! I've been doing the same yoga videos for so long; beautiful change.
I'm doing this one tomorrow amé i just hope it helps me with anxiety and clear up my mind
THANK YOU! totally need this every morning. Use to be a competitive cheerleader for 16 years and even I forget how important it is to stretch everyday!
I love all your workouts. They are really helping my motivation. Thank you for all the hard work ! Just by following your warm up to HIIT to stretch workouts routine for two weeks, my flexibility is getting better and better. Feels so awesome 👏
I love doing these at night. I feel so good by ending my day with these stretches
Stretches for the inflexible
Me: Can't do a single stretch correctly
yeah... not very motivating. I stopped half way when again no alternative was offered...
Do what you can..after a while you will see that you are more and more flexible. Dont give up!!!😉

partner stretching is good ill help u
Thank you so, so much Maddie! I woke up feeling super sore from yesterday's workout, did this after breakfast and now I feel amazing. Have a great day everyone, wherever you are!
Day 10 recovery stretching ✅. That was so relaxing. I love the child pose so much, it’s so relaxing.
More stretch routines!! Absolutely love them. Used to be a cheerleader and gymnast but now that I'm in my mid-late twenties I neglect stretching so much! I really like the hip stretches in some of your older videos. Anything to help with splits!
I really appreciated how long you let us sit in the stretches. Great video!
Thank you this took care of my soreness from working on concrete floors all day long. Awesome
I would love more different and slower movements or stretcher for older people 60 n over, so we can keep up with you. Thank you. 😉
Who is in January exercises
Me!!
meeee
Yep!
Just turned 60 and very stiff and tight so trying really hard. Doing every other day. (I must not swear at the computer screen, ! must not s....)
So, the title is 'for the inflexible' and that describes me perfectly, so I was anticipating being shown how to position myself to BEGIN to gain some flexibility, ways to achieve the stretch safely, some ways to prop myself, where to start....instead, I saw a very flexible, beautiful woman, putting herself in positions that I am not currently capable of, with no suggestion, guide or demonstration as to what that may look like for an inflexible person. I hope to achieve an increased level of flexibility; however, I did not find this video helpful in guiding me, queen of inflexibility, to a safe and helpful position, to be able to stretch safely and effectively.

Hey Maddie! I have donc over and over again your stretches routine and they have helped me improved a lot. Indeed, I am now able to do things that I wouldn’t thought I could be able to do 2 months ago. So do you think you could consider doing a more advance routine for those of us who feel like they wanna challenge themselves? Love ya
Hey Maddie thanks for this video, I LOVE stretching! Next time could u do a more advanced stretching routine for people who already are flexible?
Because of you I've been stretching every day and I barely have any back pain any more and I'm way more flexible so thank you so much!
I've been noticing my joints and muscles tightening up over the last week, so I decided to do this routine before I get ready for bed and I feel so much better, more relaxed and loose, thank you ❤
Great stretching exercise. I had hurt my muscles in the past while exercising in my room due to COVID-19. These exercises have relaxed my muscles and pain has decreased a lot This exercise worked like medicine for me.
Great stretch routine, love it, would also be so thankful for a routine where stretches are held for a minute
She really has the best workouts EVER!! I do her chris brown forever workout every single day!! Please do a one direction song or Harry styles!!
I started following your stretching videos almost 2 weeks ago and I can already see and feel progress and first of all, thank you for your videos and second I would like to see some stretches for feet, ankles, hands and fingers
I second that! I would like to strengthen (for example) my wrists. Your videos are awesome, thank you Maddie!
thankyou so much. i couldnt do half of the exercises. but i didnt give up, and i had many weird pains, and they are gone. thank you so much
I love your stretching routines, they are really helpful and are helping me gain some flexibility slowly but surely. I do one every day even if it's just the 15 minute one. I love that you mix them up a bit.i know lots of folks are looking for advanced flexibility routines and I totally understand that, as you are a dancer and so flexible yourself but I personally really appreciate you taking the time to include these videos that are good to help gain and maintain flexibility. I love your videos and you have been a huge help to my lockdown workouts. Xx love from the UK
I haven't been stretching for like 5 years, and now that I started doing it again 3 days ago, I have to say that it's truly addictive, I love it! This like my new hobby. :D
This routine was great and much needed for me right now. Is it possible to post a more intermediate/advanced stretching routine? I can always adapt the beginner ones as needed, but I enjoying trying new and different stretches so it would be great to see what you like to do. Thanks!
Amazing stretch! Great way to start my day. I've been following a lot of your routines over the past year and I just can't get enough. You have changed my life for the better. Thank you!
LOVE your stretch videos!! I am not flexible and doing you stretches proves it. However, I'm always astonished how loos my hips feel afterwards. Keeps them coming!
I've been following the stretches and workout routines for a month now. Loving it! Thanks for sharing it. Adriana from the Netherlands.
This is so refreshing and your voice is super soothing which makes it even better
Your 30 minute full body beginner stretches are the best!
I really love this one, is so complete, so balanced, it makes me feel so much better of my back pain.. Thank you Maddie
As an athlete, this stretching routine is amazing. Targets every area of the body and I do this every morning.
I found your channel a month ago and I can see a lot of improvements with myself, especially my mood 💙 Thank you!
Amazing stretch! I'm definitely guilty of not stretching out properly after a workout or even after a day at the desk. I'm glad you're making these videos to help encourage me to be more stretchy!
Could you do a more advanced stretching session for dancers.
I agree! I feel there are many dancers in quarantine trying to think of all the advanced stretches to do. It would be really helpful if you could possibly provide us with a stretching video to help out us dancers! I know you've mentioned that you did ballet once :)
yesss please!!!
Yes this would help me out so much
I'm an ex-dancer and I have my own stretch tutorials on my YT channel, maybe Maddie is catering for the majority, seeing as most people don't process the turn out and flexibility as dancers have, by the way, I don't want to be critical but no way is this a beginners workout,I have taught inflexible people and they can't even keep there backs up straight even with their legs not stretched, you're all welcome to use my stretch tutorials anyway
I was able to modify and use a small chair to enable myself to do these stretches. Some of the hip stretches felt amazing!
I feel so good after doing this workout! I used to be fairly flexible but I stopped dancing when I went to uni and now I can barely touch my toes! Certain movements were really difficult but the more I practice, the better I will get!
My balance and strength suck so yoga positions have always been difficult for me. Despite that, I have been trying to incorporate it into my routine because I love it when I can actually get into a flow. The more you do something the better you get. Thanks for the video! The music you chose was really relaxing!
And once again, amazing strech. This is the third week with you and I already can see the difference. Thank you :)
I love this video, and I used it the day before my cross country meet to help with recovery. This video felt great, so thank you! Now all I have to do is stretch out my calves/ankles on my own and run my race!
This stretch is my favorite one of yours so far! Probably my favorite stretch/yoga on TH-cam!
I love all those vids about stretches for the inflexible! I am too inflexible and I really appreciate your workout about that topic because I want to be better. Thank you very much!!!
Feel so relieved after all Maddie`s routines) thnx for your hard and important work, we all need these videos every day to make ourselves a bit happier. 😊
I appreciate all of this.. I went on something of a binge and watched all your old videos and to see your development and how much you've grown... girl, get it!
perfect for my rest day! I usually do a 5-15 minute stretch in the morning and a 5-15 stretch minute stretching again at night. But since today was an active rest day for me, I went on a walk and then did this!
omg i love stretching with you!!! i’m literally gonna be a subscriber forever, i really love your content, it’s top notch xx
