Sport at home: The most successful fashion of quarantine

Not to stop the routine, release endorphins and liven up the days that pass between the four walls of our homes. These are the main reasons why there has suddenly been a sort of a sports boom at home to which hundreds of people have joined through social media. Elite athletes who show their exercise routine during confinement to avoid rusting, Instagram accounts that create fitness monitors for solidarity or yoga classes via Youtube for physical and mental balance, are the initiatives that are emerging these days.

This is the case of the Instagram account @yo_entrenoencasa. Rodrigo Díaz holds the Bachelor of Science in Physical Activity and Sport and his partner, Sara Trascasas, did a Bachelor of Advertising and Public Relations and has a Master in Digital Marketing and E-commerce. Now they have both decided to launch this project: "It had always been in our mind to start such a project. We are both passionate about the world of fitness, Rodrigo has knowledge in the discipline and I could take care of the whole management part of communication and design, "she says.

The task they perform is similar to the one that would develop a gym monitor or a personal trainer through videos in which different muscle groups work in your living room or terrace. The creators began this initiative last week when the confinement began: "Last week, when the situation got worse and we saw that we would remain confined for an indefinite time, we thought it was time to start the project by opening an Instagram profile in which we shared daily routines, so that everyone could continue training from their homes without the need for specific material, "they clarified.

In addition, while they feel that they are fulfilling a' ' dream' they believe that they are being very useful to the population: "We do it to help these days to keep the active population, so that it favors their health". They do not rule out, however, that this very difficult moment serves as a springboard for them to engage in this professionally.
