Irish sport stars share training techniques in online videos on social media

As most of the world stays at home due to the coronavirus pandemic, Irish sport stars have been busy training on their own.

A number of our country's sporting heroes have shared videos of their training techniques on their social media channels.

UFC star Conor McGregor has been going on daily runs, while James McClean shared a video of himself doing press-ups to the song Jolene.

Katie Taylor uploaded a clip of herself practicing her boxing skills, as well as a video doing keepy-uppies with a football.

Fellow boxer Michael Conlan lifted weights in a video as he joked: " If I don’t come out of this shit looking like Arnold Schwarzenegger I’ll be disappointed."

Meanwhile, Johnny Sexton took to an exercise bike in his garden to try and keep fit amid the pandemic.

Their clips come as the majority of sport across the world has been cancelled due to Covid-19.

The All-Ireland Championships are set to go ahead as scheduled, but that could change in the coming weeks.
