Having an Olympic champion as a physical coach is possible. Top athletes are confined like everyone else because of the coronavirus. But at their level, no question of losing the rhythm, so they train at home and many take the opportunity to share their exercises on social networks, to encourage people to play sports. Some came to share their new experience in La France bouge, on Europe 1.

A little idea of the Olympics with #BougezChezVous Paris 2024
This is notably the initiative of the digital operation #BougezChezVous Paris 2024. In front of the many individual initiatives of athletes, "the idea was to come and amplify these good ideas, with a number 1 objective which remains to show that l 'emergency remains to save lives, but that we can find tips for playing sports, moving around, practicing differently while staying at home, and managing to create links, "explains Brice Guyart at the microphone of Raphaëlle Duchemin in La France bouge. The double Olympic fencing champion thus animates many lives of the Paris 2024 initiative.

"We take news from an athlete, we understand how he continues to train at a very high level", summarizes the fencer, "and he shares exercises and keys for us so that everyone can appropriate them". The levels of physical requirement are varied with "zen" sessions of yoga and breathing animated by the surfer Johanne Defay and conversely more intense sessions, as with the handbiker Mathieu Bosredon. "I still have a sore arm during his weight training session," jokes Brice Guyart.
With social networks, sport can also take more playful forms. #BougezChezVous Paris 2024 has created its own filter for Instagram and Tik Tok, "it's a random filter that gives exercises to do and when the person comes across 24 push-ups they have to run, it works well and it allows you to touch targets you don't necessarily hit. On Tik Tok you hit young people, "says Brice Guyart. The lives he hosts are also an opportunity for question and answer with the athletes and, as the fencer specifies, "All internet users who follow us can ask questions".

Yazid Amghar, was pleasantly surprised by the craze around his boxing sessions, "thanks to social networks we have touched a variety of people, whether regulars, but also seniors or entire families. We even have people who tell us after the sessions that they had not done any sport for a long time, that they were shy, because they were overweight, and thanks to the lives they regained self-confidence and they feel at home. easy to do sport again. I'm really happy to see the feedback. "
"Squats with my dog on my shoulders"
The Normandy region has also launched an initiative, the 27 athletes from Team Normandy have all made videos of small exercises to do at home, so "with twenty videos, people have lots of exercises to reproduce", explains Guillaume Le Floch Decorchemont, kayaker in the France team and vice world champion in 500m.

He chooses to give advice on humor. "I did sports exercises with my dogs: I did squats with my dog on the shoulders, abs with a first level, without weights, a second level, with a small dog, and a third with a big dog who is super heavy. I tried to play as much as possible on humor to get people moving and I have the impression that it still took a lot. "
