After the decalogue of submarines to better experience domestic isolation in the time of the coronavirus, the Navy offers a video tutorial (on its YouTube channel) to keep yourself physically fit during long hours of seclusion at home. Exceptional instructors are the Comsubin raiders, one of the elite corps of the Italian armed forces, who in order to carry out the difficult missions to which they are called cannot be separated from an exceptional physical form.
Forced prisoners at home are not asked, of course, who knows what commitment: the proposed exercises are basic and can be performed by anyone who wants to spend twenty minutes together with the Navy commandos, according to their physical conditions. All you need is a limited floor area and some household items, such as a broomstick, without the need for special exercise equipment. Ultimately, the video of the Raiders Operations Group "can be a useful support - they explain to the Navy - for all those who want to maintain their physical shape or, more simply, perform a minimum of motor activity".
The criterion used during training with the raiders - who appear in camouflage and, for safety reasons, with the face covered by a mephisto - is to warm up the different muscle chains, and then conduct the exercises on the basis of subjective athletic abilities and finally to conclude the activity through the cooling down process, the stretching necessary to dispose of the lactic acid and accumulated free radicals.
The proposed session, it is explained, can be carried out in an "incremental" manner, according to the responses that your body will provide, and repeated daily, always being careful not to overdo it. To best perform the exercises and perform any repetitions, according to the instructor's advice, you can then use the "play" and "pause" keys as indicated on the screen during the tutorial.
"Before starting any activity - explain the Comsubin's raiders - it is advisable to remember to prepare the training area, moving the objects that could be stumbling, in order to carry out the sport in complete safety. It will be fun and useful to gather in the family in front of the PC screen to train together and, who knows, to develop the idea of becoming an operator of the Special Forces of the Navy ".
