Maria I have downloaded the Butterfly challenge app, but the videos are very small. They don't enlarge when I rotate the phone, and honestly, I am struggling to see what you are doing in some of the routines. Are these videos available on KZbin? Also the videos are somewhat abbreviated so for a first watch Its not always clear what I should be doing, as your explanations are somewhat truncated.

[@goalietraining]

@@toddashton9696 Hi Todd - sorry, they are not on in a YT video. You could email my assistant and ask them for the PDF version so you could open those links on your desktop and to watch them.

This is unreal. I recently started trying goalie and my left hip is giving all kinds of grief. Your exercises, and especially this routine, have really helped me to feel so much better. I was worried it might mean I can’t do goalie, but now I think it’s more a matter of proper strength and stretch training 🙏

[@MariaMountain]

So happy to help Tom - that is great that you have been working on it consistently, that is the key. A lot of adult goalies feel the same way, but when you consistently work on the right things as a goalie, good things happen. You feel better and stop more pucks too!

[@alikhwaja1967]

So I realized you posted this video 2yrs ago, but I can tell you I just had a major bout with super tight hips and lower back pain. Just coming out of all that pain for the past two weeks and your hip mobility exercises have been clutch! Wish I started them before.

[@goalietraining]

Glad to help you out Ali. I hope those hips continue to behave themselves! Thanks for letting me know.

44 years old almost 45, haven't played in a long time (drop in skates now & then) and looking to get back into the crease again. I have had a hip replacement done so I will have a more narrow butterfly, but I'm OK with that... b/c the game/position has changed so much, I'm approaching this like I have never played before, so starting from scratch... I know it'll be daunting, but I will do... I also lost 90+ pounds since last July & feel so much better. I used to watch your videos a couple of years ago but though I'd never really play again... anyways, thank you so much Maria for putting out such incredible, useful & practical information to so many ppl who not only love this game, but LOVE this position... Ok, I'm done rambling now 😬

[@goalietraining]

Thanks so much James - I really appreciate it! Start slow - work with your physio if you need to to keep your body in check - have a blast and keep me posted.

[@zeagulhas8746]

'm a "Hoquei patins" (rollerskate) coach from Portugal and these really helped me out! Cheers!

[@goalietraining]

Awesome - glad to help!

[@testartudoquepuder]

Thanks, i found a lot of sensible parts!

[@goalietraining]

You are welcome - glad to help.

[@adamleininger1387]

YES to the splits!

[@mtlgoalie62]

I will be starting this tomorrow!! Hopefully by the time we can get back on the ice, I will have some more mobility!!

[@goalietraining]

You definitely will - I promise.

[@nicholastirella9322]

how did it go?

[@jimhealey6761]

Thanks Maria! You are awesome....there is no ice on any lakes out here in LA but I think of how you guys get to skate outside a lot.....enjoy it for us and thanks again.

[@srStinnky]

I loooooove all your workouts and your hole approach to mobility. By the way all this moves feel pretty good...even the lacrosse ball in a sort of masochist way. I'm starting the strategic mobility program and I'll be doing this 5 minute routine before my yoga classes. I'll love a video on deepening the splits both front and side, its a move I love so much and I'm pretty sure I can do it...just have to unlock the right muscle and joint group. thank you!

[@goalietraining]

Thanks man - okay one vote for a SPLITS video - - I'll put it on the list!

[@goalietraining]

@Caden and Shaeyl scootering On it! Stay tuned.

[@jdogghizzy2606]

Thanks!!! I'm a new goalie and these really helped me out! Cheers!

[@goalietraining]

You are welcome - happy to help!

[@mikebauer979]

I would absolutely like to see a video created for deeper splits. Both middle and side. I just don’t know if there are certain exercises or muscles to unlock to achieve both an feel that it would help me on the ice.

[@goalietraining]

Okay - I will put it on my list - thanks for the feedback.

[@kierancartercrawford]

Big fan of the hip CAR’s would you also say the side lying Hip CAR is as beneficial as the standing?

[@goalietraining]

I really like the sidelying because then you don't have to worry as much about the dynamic stabilization element. Both good exercises.

[@andrewowens5319]

Just want to ask for this and the butterfly challenge should I be warming up before I do these kind of routines? Like a jog or something, or can I just go into it right away

[@goalietraining]

You can just start into it - just start a little easy. If you prefer to go for a jog or something, that is fine too.

[@VXOTYx]

It helps me

[@goalietraining]

Awesome - happy to help!

[@williamlovett3287]

In the 90 90 when your going to the back foot or ankle. Are we concerned with keeping the fron leg bent and on the floor? Or we just keeping it in position as best we can?

[@goalietraining]

Keep it there the best you can. Good question William

[@williamlovett3287]

@@goalietraining thank you 37 year old been playing for alittler a year now just trying to keep mobile on mondays.

[@goalietraining]

@@williamlovett3287 keep up with the drills and you'll get a lot more than that!

[@MnBrPg0611]

Hi Maria, do you use bare foot shoes?

[@goalietraining]

I used to use the Vibram 5 Fingers - they got a little hard to find and sometimes the fit for my toes was off. I now use minimalist shoes - currently really liking the Merrell Trail Glove, they have a nice wide toe box.

[@Matfast32]

Good tips, just subscribed ! Could I use any of these exercises to recover from a slightly sore hip or should I try something different ?

[@goalietraining]

If it makes that discomfort feel better, then go with it, but if it doesn't help that discomfort resolve over time or if it makes it feel worse, then get it checked out please.

[@Matfast32]

@@goalietraining Will do, I checked a couple of your vids about hip injury and I'll definitely see a Physiotherapist if I don't see any progress. Thanks you !

[@goalietraining]

@@Matfast32 You are welcome

[@christophertcraig]

Thanks for the vid Maria, it's like you know us or something.

[@goalietraining]

ha ha - - almost just like that isn't it??

[@jay940]

My hips are always tight ugh, do you do this as well as the butterfly challenge or just the butterfly challenge? Some of these exercises arent everyday through the challenge

[@goalietraining]

Yes, you can do them in addition to the Butterfly Challenge. You will be fine with that. Just don't force it.

[@Maineventguy]

My 8 year old is just getting started and wants to practice some off ice stuff during the lockdown. He's struggling to get wide enough to get into a proper butterfly. Any tips?

[@Maineventguy]

m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/fnrLdn-Yfd15i8U should you get bored this is a video of the little guy playing. He loves goalie! We love your videos!

[@williamlovett3287]

O ya found that tender point in upper glut

[@goalietraining]

Yeah - - when you find it you KNOW!
