It all started by surprise. On Sunday morning, hours after the Government decreed the state of alarm, Alberto Contador commented on his Instagram that in the afternoon he was going to do an hour on a roller, on an exercise bike, and that he would broadcast it live on the same network. social so that whoever wanted to could follow the session: the changes of pace, when to get up ... The success was resounding. Thousands of people connected to the session and all of them dared to finish a workout that, alone, could be boring.

The former cyclist, winner of Tour, Vuelta and Giro, now a commentator on Eurosport, soon recognized the follow-up of his initiative and decided to organize himself to make it daily. This Monday, he returned to the roller to become the spinning teacher of thousands of followers and this Tuesday he will return, with a time change -now it will be at 7:00 p.m.-, and with the movement's hashtag: #YoentrenoconContador.

Contador's proposal has generated so much interest that, as happened with the musicians who organized various festivals since confinement, other athletes have joined in their disciplines. Eliud Kipchoge's physical therapist and training partner, Marc Roig, for example, connects every day at 4 p.m. from his home in Kenya to lead a training session for 30-minute runners and other professionals prepare to do something similar.

Beyond the personal trainers who have been offering videos on YouTube or Instagram for years on how to keep fit at home or with little material, now they are the benchmarks of the sport, those who truly know the limits of the human being, who offer their tricks to the public confined to their homes. Staying healthy and in good shape on these difficult days will be an excellent help.
