​Arsenal defender Holding inspired by... Ryan Giggs yoga DVD?

Arsenal defender Rob Holding says that he was inspired by a video of Ryan Giggs doing yoga!

Holding admits that when he was growing up, his mother showed him a video of the Manchester United star doing yoga and talking about how it lengthened his career.

The Gunners centre-back took it to heart and has been practicing ever since.

"There are about six players, plus Freddie Ljungberg, who do it," Holding said at a press conference.

"Freddie joins in and does a bit of yoga.

"It's a good group there and it's up to you, if you want to do it, you can do it. We come in and do one session a week. I enjoy it so I do it.

"[I've been doing it] since I've been here, so coming up to the fourth year now.

"When I was growing up, my mum actually got me a Ryan Giggs DVD about yoga and how it lengthened his career, so I was like you know what, if he's doing it then I should be doing it! So I've just maintained it."
