Artyom Borodkin tells how to practice at self-quarantine

On March 23 it was announced that every player of the Traktor Ice Hockey Club should to stay in and practice according to the individual plan. The decision was taken to make sure there`s no virus outbreak and to make sure that players and their families stay healthy. Defenseman of the Traktor Chelyabinsk team Artyom Borodkin decided to share his home workouts experience for the upcoming season. He admitted that there was some difficulties but they are not about lazyness. The Borodkins and their pets took the cutest video on how it was to work out while on self isolation.

I have a treadmill, a stationary bike, bosu ball, bands. There`s enough room, so it`s fine. Of course, at the Traktor Ice Arena there are more machines that I miss here. Everything is on lighter mode at home.

How do you fight procrastination and lazyness if there`s any?
I don`t feel like it at home but there`s another side of the coin. When you are at home, you have more time to spend with your wife and kid, and that`s what you want to do. And you need to pull yourself together to keep in mind that you have to keep fit and find two hours for workout.

What are the advantages of such self-isolation?
There are actually a lot of advantages. Usually you are always somewhere else but home and here you have an opportunity to stay with your family, to watch a movie and discuss something, distract from everything. We see just pozitive things about it. 

Dear fans, our players show you an exaple on how you should follow the precautinary measures. Self-isolation time is perfect to spend some time with our loved ones at home.Take care and stay home!
