Sports at home: the CUS project

CUS centro universitario sportivo

While the containment measures of the conoravirus outbreak have left many at home, the University Sports Center (CUS Bergamo) has decided to make its presence felt amongst students, teachers and university staff. 

Healthy lifestyle and regular sporting activities have always been the main mission of CUS. Therefore, the university sports center has decided to help those who have been forced to change their daily routines by creating a series of video classes to workout at home.

Following the appeals from the World Health Organization and from the Lombardy Region to take care of both our physical and mental health, the CUS has asked its trainers - all of whom have graduated in sports science - to shoot video classes that could allow everyone to exercise from home (for example by using everyday objects such as a chair or a water bottle). 

You can find all videos on the university sports center's or the region's websites, but we invite you to follow CUS on their YouTubeFacebook and Instagram accounts!

Prof. Stefano Tomelleri's comment, President of the University Sports Committee

'CUS at home' testifies the constant commitment of the University Sports Center to social responsibility: that is the will to achieve concrete objectives for the full development of the person and its relationships within the community. This project has immediately enjoyed a wide success amongst students and members. They are all people who are far for social distancing, but close in sharing the awareness that physical activity is important not only for the undisputed physical benefits, but also and above all to have a healthy mental balance.
