NUORO. The Iron Man of weightlifting brave the frost and … the Dpcm: weights, benches and dumbbells for outdoor training. Not even the harsh temperatures of these days have stopped the people of Nuoro weightlifting, led by world power lifting champion Rudy Agus: equipped with sweatshirts and kways, they continued to train outdoors thanks to a mini gym set up in the outdoor spaces of the Coni. They define themselves as diehards, because despite the limitations of the last Dpcm which imposed the closure of gyms, and the various technical difficulties in carrying out the weight lifting activity outdoors, with obstinacy and perseverance, regardless of the increasingly rigid temperatures they continued their journey in the name of wellness, strictly in compliance with anti-Covid measures. “The idea of transferring a part of the Power gym (this is the name of the gym in via Lazio led by Rudy Agus, ndc), is the result of requests received from athletes who did not want to stop, but to continue, as far as possible, the weight lifting activity. A proposal that I welcomed with open arms and appreciated a lot: I come from a past as a competitor where training was the priority, whatever the cost – says Rudy Agus -. So at the end of October, close to closing, I started organizing lessons and schedules that could satisfy everyone, men and women. Today I think I have made the right choice since the reopening of the gyms seems an increasingly distant and remote possibility ”, explains Agus. A “blow” for fitness operators who have yet to dispose of the consequences of the first lockdown but also for fans of physical activity, orphaned of their “second home”.
“It was certainly not possible to remain with arms crossed and wait for a new Dpcm to finally authorize the reopening – he underlines -. By doing this I managed to get rid of some fixed expenses, obviously without great demands, and at the same time I gave the most loyal and passionate bodybuilding enthusiasts the opportunity to continue their training sessions, certainly in a more reduced way ». Playing sports is also a way to release tension, socialize and feel part of a big family. In the area of one hundred square meters, benches, barbells, racks, mats, dumbbells and barbells have been arranged for the outdoo activity ».
