Hope you guys enjoyed version 2 of the beginner stretch series! It feels so good to take a few minutes out of the day to stretch and pay close attention to your body ❤️ Sending you all love! Xx- Maddie
MadFit omg thank you so much , i’ve literally been doing you other stretch video every night for the past three months and wow i’ve seen progress . i went from being as stiff as a stick to being able to do my splits perfectly . and i feel a whole lot better now ! thank youuuuu !!
Hi, Maddie. You've got so many stretch videos, but you know, this is my favorite one now. It's been about 1,5 years I stretch watching ur videos, and I never thought I all be able to put one foot right into the knee of my other one leg. I thought I'm such a woody girl, but I'm not🤩🤩🤩🤩Thanx a lot🙋🏻♀️
As a yoga teacher, I couldn’t agree more how important it is to take some time to stretch, increase range of motion and balance between strength and flexibility, effort and ease, engagement and relaxation especially in this uncertain period. Hope more people can join this ‘letting go’ practice with us. I appreciate your consistant sharing with such a lovely intention and dedication, it means a lot to us, Maddie💕
You always comment on every single video of Maddie's.. Is it some sort of self promotion you are doing here? It's kinda not nice there are better more fair ways of attracting subscribers.
ⵏⴰⴷⴰ- ⴻⵔⵔⴰⴱⵉⵄ ⵄⵉⵙⴰⵡⵉ maybe she just geniunely likes her videos. Your negativity is whats not nice. UA-camrs compliment each other all the time. Get over it. There are far more important things rn than someone's comment 🙄
@@elizabethmack3385 I am not being negative I am being real and honest. Plus, you don't get to tell me what I can and cannot do. I didn't talk to you in the first place so please do mind your own damn business.
ⵏⴰⴷⴰ- ⴻⵔⵔⴰⴱⵉⵄ ⵄⵉⵙⴰⵡⵉ she didn't talk to you either so you could have done the same you're being a hypocrite rn there are literally more important things in the world than someone's comment and telling me to mind my own business on a literal comment thread open to everyone is a reach lol
I’ve been doing these stretches for almost a month and my remedial massage lady has definitely noticed that my hips are so much loosened. I have seen a huge improvement in my flexibility to where my hands could never touch the floor to now lying flat on the ground. So to inflexible people, keep up with it and you will gain huge flexibility. I love the frog at the end and I really love the pigeon pose from the other 30 minute video
Some of these stretches were a little difficult to evaluate, like I wasn't sure if I was doing them correctly sometimes because I am SO inflexible that I have trouble really copying them in form haha. But if you feel the stretch, it means it's working! So if you're like me, then don't give up, and keep stretching
I have now been doing this stretch routine for 1 year and I am so glad I stuck with it as I am now beginning to see progress. I am a 62 year old, broken down, ex-construction worker and I am realizing that I need to be taking care of myself more than ever before. I now believe that it all starts with flexibility. Thank you so much for sharing this beginner routine.
I was living in Asia but due to the pandemic have decided to fly back to Sydney to be home. Due to the laws, I am in a hotel quarantine room monitored by the police and under no circumstances can I leave the room, for 14 days - it's pretty intense. These videos have been heaven. Thanks, Maddie! I really needed this. Keep it up, girl.
I did this routine almost every day for one month and I can finally touch my toes! I’ve started ballet for adults and I feel a lot more confident ☺️🩰 thank you Maddie 💕
Hey Maddie. I've been doing this routine for 3 years now, almost every single day. You're such a legend; you've helped countless people like me achieve mindfulness. Keep up the good work!
Yes, I agree this is a great channel the sub numbers speak for themselves but there are many new channels online today which are dedicated to stretching for beginners and to the more advanced how to split workouts mine included.
İ’m doing your first 30minutes stretch video Every Single Day for the past 22 days. İ was so stiff, and now i can almosttt touch my toes! İ’m so exited for this part 2 video!
madfit and yoga by adriene everyday is what made my inflexible ass much more flexible in a month, I'll def keep following along for the rest of the year :) goodluck everyone! don't give up!
30 year retired Military... I was in great shape, but have done nothing for the last 6 months. I took a job overseas and must quarantine for 15 days in Dubai... Your simple videos have shown me just how quick one can loose years of work and progress. During my quarantine, I do 1 beginner stretching and a workout in the morning. In the afternoon, I come back to you for a full body stretch and home workout... Thankful to have you while locked in this hell. 7 more days to go! Thanks again!
Omg! I have been doing your other one almost daily. I feel like you really make an effort to explain proper form. So glad to have a new vid. I can’t wait to move up to intermediate stretches.
Yes. You can hold on to smth and slowly get deeper with time. The dancers do this stretch standing at the barre. This targets the right muscles quite well.
Curious to know what you mean by that, exactly how inflexible were you? I have been stretching everyday for the last 30 days and still have a little bit left down to the floor but we’re all different and I believe you’ve been doing great!
@@MaruB88 a little more explanations: i used to do gymnastics as a child so i think it helped a lot, but i havent done any actual working out or stretch program for +2 years, my right split was missing about 15 inches (and i couldnt even try the left one). I may have gone a lil far by saying i was the most inflexible but i definitely was inflexible (couldn't touch my toes at all), i did her 30 min stretch consistently for 2 weeks and would even do it twice a day sometimes! so, yeah
@@kenzabattah5194 well gymnastics explains it! muscle memory and stuff... but good for you! i was not in the great mood when wrote it and these types of comments when people can achieve the goal in a short period of time always mess with my head :( also i for sure have hip mobility issue, because i danced most of my life and never got any splits, so i don't even know if i ever get em
Please do another stretching exercise. The first and second one of this beginning stretching was amazing. I'm a dude who never stretches and this was fantastic, and I sent it to all my guy friends who also started doing it. The length and exercises were fantastic.
WHO DISLIKED THIS VIDEO ??? THERE ARE 3 DISLIKES WHY ?? THIS GIRL IS HELPING PEOPLE LEARN HOW TO STAY FIT FOR FREE ?! PEOPLE PAY £100S PER WEEK FOR THIS I LEGIT WANT TO NO WHO AND WHY ANYONE WOULD DISLIKE THE VIDEO ?? 🤬❤️ 💋
I have been doing this workout for nearly a year now. I love it! For days when I have no energy and for my gym rest days. I incorporate lots of deep breathing and of course, my flexibility is so much better. Maddie has really thought through every muscle group. For me, it's a perfect start to my day!
Just found you and I appreciate your rhythm and you tips on getting the best out of the routine....I haven’t done yoga for a long while and my body is loving the movement. Hopefully my back and hips will catch up. Thank you for a 67 year old woman who needs your videos !
Thank you so much! I discovered this video literally one week ago and my flexibility has improved DRAMATICALLY. I can go a full knuckle further in any position with my legs - after just one week! Unbelievable. Plus you radiate kindness which makes your videos a joy to follow every day. You rock.
Yaaaaaas! I've been doing your previous 30min stretch for a week now and I already feel I am more flexible!! It feels so good to stretch my body, thanks a lot for your work ♥ I'm gonna use this new video this week!
This routine is great. I'm way off on a lot of the movements, I'm just not bendy enough, but this is the exact reason I'm doing it. Been a runner for most of my 53 years, so I have VERY tight hips/groin/back, but can still complete the routine and feel the benefit afterwards. Hoping that over time this routine will help reduce my injuries and improve my pilates sessions too. Thank you Maddie!!
I absolutely love this vid. I do it right before bed and I sleep great! I do your morning yoga video everyday before work to start my day right. Seeing an improvement with my non flexibility lol. I would LOVE to see more yoga videos. Love all your workouts too! I do as many as I can! You’ve been my saving grace the last couple months. ❤️
Just finished this for tonight’s stretch! I can touch the floor now doing a forward fold standing! Never been able to! Almost whole palm down!! Just had to share.
I just discovered you and tried my first beginner stretch video yesterday, the first one you did I think. let me tell you, I felt so good this morning especially in my hips which cause me so much discomfort most of the time. I tried this video today and the only thing I missed was the reminder to go a little deeper, lol, but I reminded myself which may be better. thank you for taking the time to help the rest of us! hope you are well and successful in all you do!
Ive been doing this routine regularly and the progress im seeing is amazing.. my hips are finally starting to open and the range of motion I’ve gained keeps me going. And far less pain and stiffness!
Wow, I just thought I missed some diversity in your last 30 min stretching routine (been doing it for 3 weeks every day in a row), and here it comes! Thank you!
I did this before bed and it relaxed me so much! Ive done your past stretch video for 2 days, then I saw this one and thought I'd give it a go. I'm still not flexible and they still 'hurt' but some of the stretches I didnt want to stop! I was like "5 more minutes" even though it hurt. Love it😍
I love her workouts! I'm in my late 40's with knees like a 90 year old. I have a bad back, too. I also have zero tolerance for perky instructors. They stress me out! What I love about Maddie is that she is encouraging without be judgmental. She is instructive with great pointers. She has a gift. And..that body definitely inspires me to keep busting it. Who doesn't want to look like that? Lol! Thanks for these awesome videos!
I do this after a session of Chloe Ting workouts, and it's really helped me cooldown after, minimize soreness, and even improve my stamina/posture/ease of working out. You and Chloe are treasures in helping me improve my neglected body!
Be careful in mimicking Ting's form. She's great for offering free workouts, but her expertise is limited. I've seen her poor form lead to injuries in people who do her workouts.
Thank you so much Maddie for your videos, especially this beginner stretch. I'm 68 and slowly getting back into my fitness journey. I will be doing this stretch series once a week to accompany the rest of my exercise routines. Cheers!!
I am just now discovering that my left leg is so much less flexible than my right omg. With my right leg I was just like "hey this isn't so bad" and then it got to my left and I was just like "NO OMG MY LEG IS GOING TO SNAP AHHHH" First time doing this routine was an experience to say the least😂
My left hip is hyper flexible compared to my right so most things were easier on the left. I found it strange though because my right is my dominate side.
31:25 "and the goal is to have your hips flat on the floor" You gotta be joking me! Goal, as in life goal for an inflexible guy like me? I'm sitting in this posture, trying my froggiest, hurting, yet I'm still several kilometres and lightyears away from the floor. This is a great routine, but you should really show some alternatives, as several postures are currently not available to most (I'd guess) clicking this video.
so 1 year ago i stoped doing ballet because i went to college in another city .After stopping ballet i had to find a way to stay as flexible as possible because i like to strech and doing stuff like that . i've tryed sooo many youtube flexibility workout but everytime i would'nt make it to do a strech perfectly i felt bad for myself . Today i saw this workout at my recomendations and i told my self " why not ? maybe i can do it this time " . i havent streched for 2 months now and while doing this workout i felt perfect . i just love it . it feels good in my body and so i would do it like everyday just because the perfect feeling that it gives me at the end . thank you very much for uploading this.You just saved me.
I love all Maddie's videos. She has, for me, by far the best workout and stretch videos on UA-cam. If you've come across this one because you searched beginner stretch video and you struggle with it then I recommend doing the other one she mentions first. This one seems a slight step up from that one. Keep up the good work Maddie, we love you xx
This version 2 of beginner’s stretch series is really the best by far!! I did the first version for some times, but sometimes even after working out I still felt pain the next day. One day I was really feeling pain in my muscles, then I tried this version and I felt so much better! Since this day I never stopped doing this. I think the best thing in this version is how you teach us how to breath, because this is really important to control our breath to feel relaxed. Thank you so much for this version, I love you!! xo
I am 45 yrs old and never been flexibile. I can say that after 2 sessions i feel improvements. Thank you Maddie. You are doing an amazing work and you are an inspiration! 🥰🥰
Thank you very much @MadFit. I'm currently switching between this and the other beginner stretching video every single day. It's not as hard as a workout but I always feel better after doing it. I have problems with my knees, I got screws in my knees, so I need so skip a lot of exercises in workouts. Thank you girl
I posted Beginner stretch 1 video to my face book with a challenge for friends to join me for 30 days. I just finished day two with this one. I was so excited. Day two felt different from day 1. Minor soreness and in areas Ive never been sore in from my regular exercise. I feel like this stretching is also going to provide a little toning :) I think Ill go back to the first one for the rest of the first two weeks and then move to this one for the last two weeks. Thank you so much. My friends who tried it all commented that they loved the momentum, how you held each pose...and I also love the serene music. You are Love!
I've been doing this routine at least five times a week since april and I swear I have gained LOTS of flexibility. I'm also doing the dance workouts and I need more of them!!! My favourite is the 00's one. Thanks a lot Maddie, I wish you the best. Best wishes from Argentina.
I've just started on my yoga journey two weeks ago and I'm really enjoying your beginner stretching classes. Looking forward to progressing to the more advanced ones! Fiona
So... I started working out during quarantine. I've been pretty consistent in keeping with my workouts. Always a combination of cardio , core and stretch. Suddenly, I'm finding it quite uncomfortable to sit. In the passenger seats of vehicles in particular. It hurts my left butt cheek to sit. I looked up reasons for this and it seems I might have caused some strain to the sciatic nerve. I looked up stretches to ease the tension on the nerve and pose for pose, this routines covers all of the stretches I have seen. I have since altered my weekly routine. I did take a couple of weeks off just to rest that muscle/nerve. And today was my first day back. Maddie, I cannot thank you enough for this routine. I have posted earlier how this is my favorite stretch routine. But after this stretch, my butt feels soooooooooooooooo much better. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Thank you for this. I am 71 years old and have done one of your 3 flexibility videos every day since March 13, 2020. The increase in my flexibility is noticeable. Thank you.
This is incredible, I never used to be able to touch my toe line when sitting down, but thanks to this video I've increased my flexibility and I can touch my toes! Still have a long way to go because I cant keep my legs straight in most of these movements but I'll get there :)
Hey! I'm from India. I never thought that I would exercise. All the other videos in youtube were so tough to follow. But one day, I came to your channel. I have been following this routine religiously for a month. It's so amazing. I feel so active all day. I'm overweight, but this video turned out to be a good one for me. Thank you so much for this inspiration. I have also started following your other cardio exercises. I'm losing weight and you're lovely! so thank you. ❤
Been doing these two versions of beginner stretch of yours since the beginning of this year, it's incredible how much more flexible I'm feeling after just 5 weeks. Thank you for these videos! Would appreciate some more of these. Cheers Maddie!
Maddie, i've been doing these routine's for 3 weeks so far 5 days a week and I can definitely feel the improvements , my goal is to stretch as far as you do in this video before moving forward. Thank you for setting the bar.
Step one: sit on your ankles. Me: (not flexible enough to sit on ankles) "shit" LOL But that's okay because I will be able to! I've been doing your MadFit stretches for 10 days straight and I'm already seeing improvements, so thank you!
Nice tutorial from Madfit it's so important to stretch it is a very important part of a workout as far as I'm concerned, the flexibility we gain from it will benefit us when we are older I'm a former dancer but I still continue to stretch even if my dancing days are over, I now teach students and pass on my years of experience to people who want to improve that area of their fitness, a recent survey conducted by the Daily Mail Uk revealed that half of us can't even touch our toes so if you don't stretch on a daily basis start now it's never too late to start
Re-beginner here. Had a break of a foot bone that left me unable to practice for about 6 months & i got super stiff. Trying to stretch eveything out again. These stretching videos are perfect for me (66 yrs old)to begin my journey back to flexibility. Thanks!
This is great. Thank you! My main exercise is walking and I sit at a desk a lot. In consequence, I have lost a lot of flexibility over the years. These workouts are a good starting point. I'm hoping to do these daily to improve. If you have any stretches for people with upper back problems, I would be grateful! I followed a Nike workout and the guy did a couple of spinal mobility exercises which were super helpful. It would be great to have a longer routine, if you know of any.
When she said at the end, "the goal here is to have your hips flat on the floor" I laughed outloud! These dyplastic hips have no chance! Definitely felt the burn. 👍
I really like that you don't talk through the stretch. You explain the stretch and then you silence until it's time for the next direction. I can follow you without constantly looking at the screen. Thank you! 😊
I love this! You’ve been keeping me occupied in during this whole isolation and quarantine! I’m doing an ebook at the moment in Australia 🇦🇺 but this is also giving me some extra strength when I’m not doing it!
Added to my yoga playlist that only has now 10 videos including one of your actual yoga videos. 7 of the remaining 8 are Yoga with Adrienne. I see a lot of similarities but like to switch up routines and you do a few stretches that really challenge me that she doesn't do. The only thing I wish there was more of was teaching the breathing aspect of stretching which is so important and also going into further detail on what the other parts of the body are suppose to be doing during a stretch. For example, in the beginning we did the shoulder stretch across onto the floor. Some helpful reminders might be to make sure you're not slouching your hips/keeping them square and pushing up. Also, for the first side, I didn't peek at the video so I didn't understand how the stretch was working. The left side I peeked and saw you had your right arm fully extended. Once I did that, the stretch felt amazing. Little things like that would greatly help in future videos. Just hopefully some helpful tips on what I like about in a yogi. Now onto Adrienne's video so I can tell her she needs a video with that side bend/extended leg (talk about challenging!) Thank you very much for your video!
Thank you Maddie! I discover you with two of my friends at the beginning of the quarantine. I love how you explain. Also you are really consistent and focus during your video. We just need to press "Play" and it flow nicely and regularly (no time lose, but no rush). I like how different is your content (stretching, flexibility, "muscles", fat burning, from shorter to longer, etc). Thank you so much! I keep you even after quarantine. ❤️💪 I wanna say that video is really good for legs. I worked standing up and already have minimum flexibility for my leg, and it felt really good!
Just wanted to say that I have done version one for about three months. It has been my break from the HIIT/cardio that I do during the week. It has always been my way to end the week and the way to start the week at the same time. Not only do I see the physical benefits of flexibility, but the emotional benefits are amazing as it pulls me away from the everyday but it also helps to recenter me.. almost like an anchor so I am ready to take on the next week. When I came upon version two today... I fell totally in love. This is definitely my new fave. I'm all about tit. Thanks so much.
Thank you for this. I've been feeling the need to stretch lately. I am a professional dancer but do not feel like one at all. The pandemic really put a halt to my work and as a result of the uncertainty I have become unmotivated at times to move, stretch, workout or dance. Now I've aged another 2 years and my body is feeling it. Smh I am extremely tight and it does not feel good. Thank you for sharing multiple stretches that I can do to try to get my body feeling normal again.
I'm glad I found this video! I'm pretty much full on sedentary and was never taught how to enjoy exercise properly and could never stick to it, so this is the perfect thing to retrain my brain about exercise! It even makes me break a bit of a sweat, so thank you! I'm already finding myself sitting straighter in my chair!
Loving all the inspo... Having short uncomplicated warm-up and stretching videos is so helpful!! I've been trying to get in to a stretching routine and I'm finally doing it thanks to your videos so thank you!..Also, I exercise everyday but never used to do warmups or cool downs so big thanks for the encouragement..
can you put folded blankets under your knees and a cushion under your pelvis to alleviate the pressure? Or is it the stretch itself that hurts your knees?
Loved this one, feel like you really work through the body in a calming way that allowes the muscles to relax. Could you do a similar one that works through the entire body but that is 1 hour long? It takes some time for my body to warm up and be open to the stretches fully and I feel like a longer version would be a nice complement to the ones already there. Thank you for sharing these 💖✨
I have really benefitted from your stretch routines. I’ve been doing the for the last year and a half a couple times a week since Covid and didn’t go back to the gym. I really enjoy the calm stretching and your instruction. Would love to see a new stretch routine! Thank you so much!
Me thinking oh yes a strech that will be good... During workout : knees pop, legs break, I die ... why why why?! Why are you trying to kill me 😂🤦♀️ But thanks for this hopefully I can work on my flexibility. I love your workouts thank you so much for making them. 😊
Hi Maddie. I Love your strech routines. They are vital to me. Could you please post one where you focus a bit more more on the upper body? Shoulders, neck, back, arms? I really need it... Many thanks and please keep on giving us great routines!!!
I love your videos, and am so happy that I found your channel, especially in these quarantine times. Honestly though, this video doesn't feel like a beginners routine. I consider myself inflexible (very), and most of the positions were impossible for me to do. Would you be able to create a video that starts off a little easier, so there's more of a slow build up towards more flexibility? Would love that! Thank you.
I think with all this extra time we have on hands now, we should be looking to explore our bodies further as any of you ever attempted to split? why not set a new goal as she did, learn to split it can be done within 4 weeks there are channels with how to stretch tutorials online like mine that can guide you to achieving that.
Best workout channel ever, supper explanatory, super harsh (which I love) I've been doing your routines for a month and I can already see results coming up. Love from Uruguay!!
Maddie, I have gained huge flexibility following you and others on youtube. Thank you very much. I have however always wondered if any of you (the yoguis, the teachers) would like to set a series of videos to gain flexibility step by step on the most obnoxious parts (hips, hamstrings, and the professions that can lead us to do the pose on minute 14:27; minute 19 to 20 and of course the primal squad. I am sure there are sets of progressions out there that can help us gain that flexibility little by little. Thank you very much
I loved this video and I had so much fun stretching along side with you! Usually when I do yoga the person talks during the whole time and it can be very distracting. I love how during the stretches it's silent with some relaxing beats in the background. It makes it very fun and relaxing to follow along!
I have sciatica and this stretch is helping me, I was on pain medication but for over a week now I haven’t take any pain med, I can tolerate the pain and I do feel great after doing the stretch. Thank you so much.
Hope you guys enjoyed version 2 of the beginner stretch series! It feels so good to take a few minutes out of the day to stretch and pay close attention to your body ❤️ Sending you all love! Xx- Maddie
MadFit omg thank you so much , i’ve literally been doing you other stretch video every night for the past three months and wow i’ve seen progress . i went from being as stiff as a stick to being able to do my splits perfectly . and i feel a whole lot better now ! thank youuuuu !!
Love you maddie
Hi, Maddie. You've got so many stretch videos, but you know, this is my favorite one now.

I have seen a huge improvement in my flexibility to where my hands could never touch the floor to now lying flat on the ground. So to inflexible people, keep up with it and you will gain huge flexibility. I love the frog at the end and I really love the pigeon pose from the other 30 minute video
Did you do them daily? :)
Hey Maddie, can you do a stretch routine focused on the back? I work seated all day and I would really appreciate that!
yesss that is a great idea!
I was just thinking that!!!
Same here...!
Well I would suggest you do lower back exercises for that along side stretches. From my experience having a strong back helps a lot.
My back is so tight. I was thinking the same thing!
Some of these stretches were a little difficult to evaluate, like I wasn't sure if I was doing them correctly sometimes because I am SO inflexible that I have trouble really copying them in form haha. But if you feel the stretch, it means it's working! So if you're like me, then don't give up, and keep stretching
Same here about the Hyperflexibility
I am super inflexible. What I do is pause the vídeo whith some of the exercises. It takes longer, but it is worth it.
I have now been doing this stretch routine for 1 year and I am so glad I stuck with it as I am now beginning to see progress. I am a 62 year old, broken down, ex-construction worker and I am realizing that I need to be taking care of myself more than ever before. I now believe that it all starts with flexibility. Thank you so much for sharing this beginner routine.
I was living in Asia but due to the pandemic have decided to fly back to Sydney to be home. Due to the laws, I am in a hotel quarantine room monitored by the police and under no circumstances can I leave the room, for 14 days - it's pretty intense. These videos have been heaven. Thanks, Maddie! I really needed this. Keep it up, girl.
Maddie: Sit on your on your knees
My knees: Snack crackle pop, rice crispies 😭
This is the funniest comment ever I can't stop laughing
Okay, I'm glad it's not just me 🤣😅
RICE CRISPKNEES
LOL! Me too😭
It was hard for me to do alot of these moves
I did this routine almost every day for one month and I can finally touch my toes! I’ve started ballet for adults and I feel a lot more confident ☺️🩰 thank you Maddie 💕
Hey Maddie. I've been doing this routine for 3 years now, almost every single day. You're such a legend; you've helped countless people like me achieve mindfulness. Keep up the good work!
I’m so happy quarantine brought me to your channel!! Who needs a gym membership when you have madfit! 💪 new subscriber!!!
Same here :)
totally agree!
Yes, I agree this is a great channel the sub numbers speak for themselves but there are many new channels online today which are dedicated to stretching for beginners and to the more advanced how to split workouts mine included.
So true :)
When you're so inflexible that you can't even do a flexibility workout meant for the inflexible 🙋
You're not the only one!
I laughed so hard because this is soooo relatable
i feel so relaxed that im not the only one
With you on this one. 99% of yoga instructors have no concept of what it's like to actually be inflexible. It's discouraging to not be understood.
It's a little disheartening. I think it'd be useful to have more regressions included for people who like, can't touch their toes lol
İ’m doing your first 30minutes stretch video Every Single Day for the past 22 days. İ was so stiff, and now i can almosttt touch my toes! İ’m so exited for this part 2 video!
Day 14 here, and I touched the floor standing with my legs spread wide! I couldn't believe it!!
hey did you also do the videos in the description or just this one?
madfit and yoga by adriene everyday is what made my inflexible ass much more flexible in a month, I'll def keep following along for the rest of the year :) goodluck everyone! don't give up!

Omg! I have been doing your other one almost daily. I feel like you really make an effort to explain proper form. So glad to have a new vid. I can’t wait to move up to intermediate stretches.
anyone else find it near impossible to do the side lunge without lifting their heel off the ground!?
L L I thought I was the only one

Yo, I can’t even sit.
at first i had it too, but after a few times it got easier! so don't give up!
Yes. You can hold on to smth and slowly get deeper with time. The dancers do this stretch standing at the barre. This targets the right muscles quite well.
thanks to your previous 30 min stretch i finally got my split in 2 weeks (i'm the most inflexible person on the planet lol)!! thanks!!
Kenza BATTAH you got results in 2 weeks???? were you initially flexible?
Curious to know what you mean by that, exactly how inflexible were you? I have been stretching everyday for the last 30 days and still have a little bit left down to the floor but we’re all different and I believe you’ve been doing great!
I’ve been doing these stretches for a month and I barely see any progress... I doubt that you are the most inflexible person on the planet ://
@@MaruB88 a little more explanations: i used to do gymnastics as a child so i think it helped a lot, but i havent done any actual working out or stretch program for +2 years, my right split was missing about 15 inches (and i couldnt even try the left one). I may have gone a lil far by saying i was the most inflexible but i definitely was inflexible (couldn't touch my toes at all), i did her 30 min stretch consistently for 2 weeks and would even do it twice a day sometimes! so, yeah
@@kenzabattah5194 well gymnastics explains it! muscle memory and stuff... but good for you!
i was not in the great mood when wrote it and these types of comments when people can achieve the goal in a short period of time always mess with my head :(
also i for sure have hip mobility issue, because i danced most of my life and never got any splits, so i don't even know if i ever get em
Please do another stretching exercise. The first and second one of this beginning stretching was amazing. I'm a dude who never stretches and this was fantastic, and I sent it to all my guy friends who also started doing it. The length and exercises were fantastic.

I have been doing this workout for nearly a year now. I love it! For days when I have no energy and for my gym rest days. I incorporate lots of deep breathing and of course, my flexibility is so much better. Maddie has really thought through every muscle group. For me, it's a perfect start to my day!
I've been doing your videos since the beginning of the quarentine. Thank you so much!
I really love how you never forget to say the important parts of the positions so we could do the pose properly.
Just found you and I appreciate your rhythm and you tips on getting the best out of the routine....I haven’t done yoga for a long while and my body is loving the movement. Hopefully my back and hips will catch up. Thank you for a 67 year old woman who needs your videos !
Thank you so much! I discovered this video literally one week ago and my flexibility has improved DRAMATICALLY. I can go a full knuckle further in any position with my legs - after just one week! Unbelievable. Plus you radiate kindness which makes your videos a joy to follow every day. You rock.
Yaaaaaas! I've been doing your previous 30min stretch for a week now and I already feel I am more flexible!! It feels so good to stretch my body, thanks a lot for your work ♥ I'm gonna use this new video this week!
This routine is great. I'm way off on a lot of the movements, I'm just not bendy enough, but this is the exact reason I'm doing it. Been a runner for most of my 53 years, so I have VERY tight hips/groin/back, but can still complete the routine and feel the benefit afterwards. Hoping that over time this routine will help reduce my injuries and improve my pilates sessions too. Thank you Maddie!!
This routine is exactly what I was searching for; professional, relaxed, and simple. Thank you and keep up the great work!
Been using this video for 6 months. Love the changes it made to my body and flexibility. Also enjoy your arm and ab routines too. Thank you
I absolutely love this vid. I do it right before bed and I sleep great! I do your morning yoga video everyday before work to start my day right. Seeing an improvement with my non flexibility lol. I would LOVE to see more yoga videos. Love all your workouts too! I do as many as I can! You’ve been my saving grace the last couple months. ❤️
Just finished this for tonight’s stretch! I can touch the floor now doing a forward fold standing! Never been able to! Almost whole palm down!! Just had to share.
I just discovered you and tried my first beginner stretch video yesterday, the first one you did I think. let me tell you, I felt so good this morning especially in my hips which cause me so much discomfort most of the time. I tried this video today and the only thing I missed was the reminder to go a little deeper, lol, but I reminded myself which may be better. thank you for taking the time to help the rest of us! hope you are well and successful in all you do!
Ive been doing this routine regularly and the progress im seeing is amazing.. my hips are finally starting to open and the range of motion I’ve gained keeps me going. And far less pain and stiffness!
Wow, I just thought I missed some diversity in your last 30 min stretching routine (been doing it for 3 weeks every day in a row), and here it comes! Thank you!
same same same
have you had much progress in your flexibilty?
She published the video 3 days ago how can u do it since 3 weeks
SHRUTI AGGARWAL She means she’s been doing her other routine, it’s the same thing 30 minutes stretches for the inflexible that was posted 7 months ago
SHRUTI AGGARWAL there is a part 1 this is the part 2
Amazing way to start the morning! My body is becoming more flexible, thanks to your routines. I'm motivated to see how flexible I can get.
I did this before bed and it relaxed me so much! Ive done your past stretch video for 2 days, then I saw this one and thought I'd give it a go. I'm still not flexible and they still 'hurt' but some of the stretches I didnt want to stop! I was like "5 more minutes" even though it hurt. Love it😍
🙄🙄🙄
I love her workouts! I'm in my late 40's with knees like a 90 year old. I have a bad back, too. I also have zero tolerance for perky instructors. They stress me out! What I love about Maddie is that she is encouraging without be judgmental. She is instructive with great pointers. She has a gift. And..that body definitely inspires me to keep busting it. Who doesn't want to look like that? Lol! Thanks for these awesome videos!
I do this after a session of Chloe Ting workouts, and it's really helped me cooldown after, minimize soreness, and even improve my stamina/posture/ease of working out. You and Chloe are treasures in helping me improve my neglected body!
Omg same. Chloe’s cool down video is not really working...
Be careful in mimicking Ting's form. She's great for offering free workouts, but her expertise is limited. I've seen her poor form lead to injuries in people who do her workouts.
Thank you so much Maddie for your videos, especially this beginner stretch. I'm 68 and slowly getting back into my fitness journey. I will be doing this stretch series once a week to accompany the rest of my exercise routines. Cheers!!
I am just now discovering that my left leg is so much less flexible than my right omg. With my right leg I was just like "hey this isn't so bad" and then it got to my left and I was just like "NO OMG MY LEG IS GOING TO SNAP AHHHH"
First time doing this routine was an experience to say the least😂
same here. my left side is fine...but i have to get out of stretches on my right side before i break something 🤦🏻♀️
My left hip is hyper flexible compared to my right so most things were easier on the left. I found it strange though because my right is my dominate side.
31:25 "and the goal is to have your hips flat on the floor" You gotta be joking me! Goal, as in life goal for an inflexible guy like me? I'm sitting in this posture, trying my froggiest, hurting, yet I'm still several kilometres and lightyears away from the floor. This is a great routine, but you should really show some alternatives, as several postures are currently not available to most (I'd guess) clicking this video.
everybody gangsta till she says sit on the ground kneeling to one leg
so 1 year ago i stoped doing ballet because i went to college in another city .After stopping ballet i had to find a way to stay as flexible as possible because i like to strech and doing stuff like that . i've tryed sooo many youtube flexibility workout but everytime i would'nt make it to do a strech perfectly i felt bad for myself . Today i saw this workout at my recomendations and i told my self " why not ? maybe i can do it this time " . i havent streched for 2 months now and while doing this workout i felt perfect . i just love it . it feels good in my body and so i would do it like everyday just because the perfect feeling that it gives me at the end . thank you very much for uploading this.You just saved me.
Maddie: don't forget to breathe
Me: takes a giant breath
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
I love all Maddie's videos. She has, for me, by far the best workout and stretch videos on UA-cam. If you've come across this one because you searched beginner stretch video and you struggle with it then I recommend doing the other one she mentions first. This one seems a slight step up from that one. Keep up the good work Maddie, we love you xx
I didn't realize how inflexible I had become, this really helps me loosen up in the mornings, thanks :)
I’ve been following this more or less every day for 2 months and can promise you, it is absolutely worth your time.
I would love a slightly more advanced stretch routine in the future :))
This version 2 of beginner’s stretch series is really the best by far!! I did the first version for some times, but sometimes even after working out I still felt pain the next day. One day I was really feeling pain in my muscles, then I tried this version and I felt so much better! Since this day I never stopped doing this. I think the best thing in this version is how you teach us how to breath, because this is really important to control our breath to feel relaxed. Thank you so much for this version, I love you!! xo
Who else is out there doing these looking like a broken spider?
great stretch!!
I am 45 yrs old and never been flexibile. I can say that after 2 sessions i feel improvements. Thank you Maddie. You are doing an amazing work and you are an inspiration! 🥰🥰
Love your consistency and workouts. They’re fun and different to other routines I’ve come across. Please keep it up ♥️
kingfisayo.x I post a few quick and effective workouts up on my channel if you’re interested in checking it out!! 💕
Thank you very much @MadFit. I'm currently switching between this and the other beginner stretching video every single day. It's not as hard as a workout but I always feel better after doing it. I have problems with my knees, I got screws in my knees, so I need so skip a lot of exercises in workouts. Thank you girl
gymnastics here i come...
I used to do gymnastics then I quit like 4 years ago and I'm as flexible as a stick now
Emme Weisenburger same, I used to be so flexible 😭
I posted Beginner stretch 1 video to my face book with a challenge for friends to join me for 30 days. I just finished day two with this one. I was so excited. Day two felt different from day 1. Minor soreness and in areas Ive never been sore in from my regular exercise. I feel like this stretching is also going to provide a little toning :) I think Ill go back to the first one for the rest of the first two weeks and then move to this one for the last two weeks. Thank you so much. My friends who tried it all commented that they loved the momentum, how you held each pose...and I also love the serene music. You are Love!
Yay!!! I've been doing the other 30 min stretch now for 2 weeks and wanted some variation. So glad you did this one! I'm going to do it now
I've been doing this routine at least five times a week since april and I swear I have gained LOTS of flexibility. I'm also doing the dance workouts and I need more of them!!! My favourite is the 00's one. Thanks a lot Maddie, I wish you the best. Best wishes from Argentina.
i feel so relaxed and calm, the best thing in the world
I've just started on my yoga journey two weeks ago and I'm really enjoying your beginner stretching classes. Looking forward to progressing to the more advanced ones! Fiona
This is my new favorite night time stretch routine! I try to do it at least every other night. Thank you so much, Maddie!
So... I started working out during quarantine. I've been pretty consistent in keeping with my workouts. Always a combination of cardio , core and stretch. Suddenly, I'm finding it quite uncomfortable to sit. In the passenger seats of vehicles in particular. It hurts my left butt cheek to sit. I looked up reasons for this and it seems I might have caused some strain to the sciatic nerve. I looked up stretches to ease the tension on the nerve and pose for pose, this routines covers all of the stretches I have seen. I have since altered my weekly routine. I did take a couple of weeks off just to rest that muscle/nerve. And today was my first day back. Maddie, I cannot thank you enough for this routine. I have posted earlier how this is my favorite stretch routine. But after this stretch, my butt feels soooooooooooooooo much better. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I can't imagine how would stretches for professionals look like o.o But I love these, it always makes me so calm
Thank you for this. I am 71 years old and have done one of your 3 flexibility videos every day since March 13, 2020. The increase in my flexibility is noticeable. Thank you.
This is incredible, I never used to be able to touch my toe line when sitting down, but thanks to this video I've increased my flexibility and I can touch my toes! Still have a long way to go because I cant keep my legs straight in most of these movements but I'll get there :)
Hey! I'm from India. I never thought that I would exercise. All the other videos in youtube were so tough to follow. But one day, I came to your channel. I have been following this routine religiously for a month. It's so amazing. I feel so active all day. I'm overweight, but this video turned out to be a good one for me. Thank you so much for this inspiration. I have also started following your other cardio exercises. I'm losing weight and you're lovely! so thank you. ❤
Been doing these two versions of beginner stretch of yours since the beginning of this year, it's incredible how much more flexible I'm feeling after just 5 weeks. Thank you for these videos! Would appreciate some more of these. Cheers Maddie!
How often do you do the stretches? :)
Maddie, i've been doing these routine's for 3 weeks so far 5 days a week and I can definitely feel the improvements , my goal is to stretch as far as you do in this video before moving forward. Thank you for setting the bar.
Step one: sit on your ankles.
Me: (not flexible enough to sit on ankles) "shit" LOL
But that's okay because I will be able to! I've been doing your MadFit stretches for 10 days straight and I'm already seeing improvements, so thank you!
I was like that too haha, I just start today, and I know that if I do it everydays I can do it! And you too ♡
wooo so proud of you!
I feel this with a few of maddies "beginner" videos
Same! haha
I felt that ! today is my second day, wish me luck lol
Nice tutorial from Madfit it's so important to stretch it is a very important part of a workout as far as I'm concerned, the flexibility we gain from it will benefit us when we are older I'm a former dancer but I still continue to stretch even if my dancing days are over, I now teach students and pass on my years of experience to people who want to improve that area of their fitness, a recent survey conducted by the Daily Mail Uk revealed that half of us can't even touch our toes so if you don't stretch on a daily basis start now it's never too late to start
After 6 months, I've just gotten okay at this. Progress.
Re-beginner here. Had a break of a foot bone that left me unable to practice for about 6 months & i got super stiff. Trying to stretch eveything out again. These stretching videos are perfect for me (66 yrs old)to begin my journey back to flexibility. Thanks!
I needed this so much today and the music helped me even more, thank you
This is great. Thank you! My main exercise is walking and I sit at a desk a lot. In consequence, I have lost a lot of flexibility over the years. These workouts are a good starting point. I'm hoping to do these daily to improve.
If you have any stretches for people with upper back problems, I would be grateful! I followed a Nike workout and the guy did a couple of spinal mobility exercises which were super helpful. It would be great to have a longer routine, if you know of any.
When she said at the end, "the goal here is to have your hips flat on the floor" I laughed outloud! These dyplastic hips have no chance! Definitely felt the burn. 👍
I really like that you don't talk through the stretch. You explain the stretch and then you silence until it's time for the next direction. I can follow you without constantly looking at the screen. Thank you! 😊
I love this! You’ve been keeping me occupied in during this whole isolation and quarantine! I’m doing an ebook at the moment in Australia 🇦🇺 but this is also giving me some extra strength when I’m not doing it!
Added to my yoga playlist that only has now 10 videos including one of your actual yoga videos. 7 of the remaining 8 are Yoga with Adrienne. I see a lot of similarities but like to switch up routines and you do a few stretches that really challenge me that she doesn't do. The only thing I wish there was more of was teaching the breathing aspect of stretching which is so important and also going into further detail on what the other parts of the body are suppose to be doing during a stretch. For example, in the beginning we did the shoulder stretch across onto the floor. Some helpful reminders might be to make sure you're not slouching your hips/keeping them square and pushing up. Also, for the first side, I didn't peek at the video so I didn't understand how the stretch was working. The left side I peeked and saw you had your right arm fully extended. Once I did that, the stretch felt amazing. Little things like that would greatly help in future videos. Just hopefully some helpful tips on what I like about in a yogi. Now onto Adrienne's video so I can tell her she needs a video with that side bend/extended leg (talk about challenging!) Thank you very much for your video!
Yesss! I really needed this, going to try today after my workout routine 💕thank you so much maddie!
Chiara Di Girolamo if you’re interested in doing some quick and effective workouts I have some up on my channel ✨
Thank you Maddie! I discover you with two of my friends at the beginning of the quarantine. I love how you explain. Also you are really consistent and focus during your video. We just need to press "Play" and it flow nicely and regularly (no time lose, but no rush). I like how different is your content (stretching, flexibility, "muscles", fat burning, from shorter to longer, etc). Thank you so much! I keep you even after quarantine. ❤️💪
I wanna say that video is really good for legs. I worked standing up and already have minimum flexibility for my leg, and it felt really good!
This routine is so relaxing, I kept yawning throughout the whole video. Almost fell asleep on my mat a few times. LMAO
Just wanted to say that I have done version one for about three months. It has been my break from the HIIT/cardio that I do during the week. It has always been my way to end the week and the way to start the week at the same time. Not only do I see the physical benefits of flexibility, but the emotional benefits are amazing as it pulls me away from the everyday but it also helps to recenter me.. almost like an anchor so I am ready to take on the next week. When I came upon version two today... I fell totally in love. This is definitely my new fave. I'm all about tit. Thanks so much.
I just woke up this is perfect!
same!

Thank you for this. I've been feeling the need to stretch lately. I am a professional dancer but do not feel like one at all. The pandemic really put a halt to my work and as a result of the uncertainty I have become unmotivated at times to move, stretch, workout or dance. Now I've aged another 2 years and my body is feeling it. Smh I am extremely tight and it does not feel good. Thank you for sharing multiple stretches that I can do to try to get my body feeling normal again.
Day 5: Happy Sunday everyone 👋🌻🌻
I'm glad I found this video! I'm pretty much full on sedentary and was never taught how to enjoy exercise properly and could never stick to it, so this is the perfect thing to retrain my brain about exercise! It even makes me break a bit of a sweat, so thank you! I'm already finding myself sitting straighter in my chair!
First time to do the daily stretch and I realized my muscles in my hips are sooooooo tight! I realized I need this daily. 😆
Loving all the inspo... Having short uncomplicated warm-up and stretching videos is so helpful!! I've been trying to get in to a stretching routine and I'm finally doing it thanks to your videos so thank you!..Also, I exercise everyday but never used to do warmups or cool downs so big thanks for the encouragement..
Love the exercises but I can’t do the frog as my knees really hurt - can you suggest an alternative exercise to replace the frog? Many thanks!
I can't do the frog either
can you put folded blankets under your knees and a cushion under your pelvis to alleviate the pressure? Or is it the stretch itself that hurts your knees?
Loved this one, feel like you really work through the body in a calming way that allowes the muscles to relax. Could you do a similar one that works through the entire body but that is 1 hour long? It takes some time for my body to warm up and be open to the stretches fully and I feel like a longer version would be a nice complement to the ones already there. Thank you for sharing these 💖✨
Following your stretches has made me realise that I am about as flexible as a brick.
I have really benefitted from your stretch routines. I’ve been doing the for the last year and a half a couple times a week since Covid and didn’t go back to the gym. I really enjoy the calm stretching and your instruction. Would love to see a new stretch routine! Thank you so much!
Me thinking oh yes a strech that will be good...
During workout : knees pop, legs break, I die ... why why why?! Why are you trying to kill me 😂🤦♀️
But thanks for this hopefully I can work on my flexibility.
I love your workouts thank you so much for making them. 😊
Hi Maddie. I Love your strech routines. They are vital to me. Could you please post one where you focus a bit more more on the upper body? Shoulders, neck, back, arms? I really need it... Many thanks and please keep on giving us great routines!!!
the title is like calling me personally lol
I love your videos, and am so happy that I found your channel, especially in these quarantine times. Honestly though, this video doesn't feel like a beginners routine. I consider myself inflexible (very), and most of the positions were impossible for me to do. Would you be able to create a video that starts off a little easier, so there's more of a slow build up towards more flexibility? Would love that! Thank you.
When you're trying to get flexible for chearleding 😬😅
Lilli V haha same and Dance
I think with all this extra time we have on hands now, we should be looking to explore our bodies further as any of you ever attempted to split? why not set a new goal as she did, learn to split it can be done within 4 weeks there are channels with how to stretch tutorials online like mine that can guide you to achieving that.
Best workout channel ever, supper explanatory, super harsh (which I love) I've been doing your routines for a month and I can already see results coming up. Love from Uruguay!!
I feel like this is gonna be as if Einstein announced “GENERAL RELATIVITY PRACTICE (astrophysics for the math-challenged)” 😔
Maddie, I have gained huge flexibility following you and others on youtube. Thank you very much.
I have however always wondered if any of you (the yoguis, the teachers) would like to set a series of videos to gain flexibility step by step on the most obnoxious parts (hips, hamstrings, and the professions that can lead us to do the pose on minute 14:27; minute 19 to 20 and of course the primal squad.
I am sure there are sets of progressions out there that can help us gain that flexibility little by little.
Thank you very much
Are you alright? You seem down in this video:( hope everything is okay!
I loved this video and I had so much fun stretching along side with you! Usually when I do yoga the person talks during the whole time and it can be very distracting. I love how during the stretches it's silent with some relaxing beats in the background. It makes it very fun and relaxing to follow along!
Loved it once again. But I’m as limber as a 72 year old piece of steel. God that hurts every time
I have sciatica and this stretch is helping me, I was on pain medication but for over a week now I haven’t take any pain med, I can tolerate the pain and I do feel great after doing the stretch. Thank you so much.
