Characteristics
Muscle-strengthening allows you to work on your arms, shoulders and hands, which are amongst the most highly-stressed parts of the body during maneuvers. The upper body will require the most power. Fitness training is mainly practiced indoors, but swimming sessions (such as doing the breast stroke) could also be an alternative.
On February 14th and 15th, we inaugurated our
