The Welshman spent his entire career with Manchester United, winning 34 trophies in 23-years which included 13 Premier League titles and two Champions League crowns.

But his career might’ve been cut short if he didn’t decide to start practicing yoga, Giggs credits yoga as the saving grace of his career and still continues to practice it even after retiring from football.

After multiple hamstring injuries and frequent back pain in his late 20s, Giggs took up yoga in 2003 and quickly noticed improved flexibility and fewer nagging injuries which helped him on the pitch.

He even released his very own fitness DVD, which showed that Giggs was not going to let anything get in the way of success as a professional football player.
