Fitness Workouts for Amputees

Welcome to our fitness workouts! In March 2020 we were all surprised with a new reality and a new everyday life. We could no longer train with our physios or in a fitness studio, but had to maintain our fitness at home. Ottobock Paralympic ambassadors Heinrich Popow and Johannes Floors had the idea to create fitness videos for amputees that everyone can do at home. We regularly organized live workouts with a physiotherapist and an athlete on the Passion for Paralympics Facebook page . Now all workouts are available on Ottobock YouTube .
