From May 2nd it will also be barrier-free for deaf and hearing-impaired people with subtitles
Vienna (OTS) – With variety for training success: The new ORF fitness format “Fit with the Stars” is on the ORF 2 program every weekday at 9:10 a.m. and is moderated weekly by another celebrity as a gymnast. Next week, from Monday, April 29, 2024, ex-soccer player and ORF soccer expert Roman Mählich will welcome the audience and motivate them to join in with soccer, dribbling and goalie exercises, among other things. From Thursday, May 2nd, “Fit with the Stars” can also be seen barrier-free for deaf and hearing-impaired viewers with subtitles.
Roman Mählich: “I do a lot of sport, but such gymnastics exercises have actually not been part of my training plan for a long time. But it’s fun, and that should be the goal. The multitasking that you need for a show like this is a challenge that I’m happy to take on.”
In the week from May 6th to 10th, “Fit with the Stars” will be presented on weekdays at 9:10 a.m. on ORF 2 by former professional cyclist and “Dancing Star” finalist Bernhard Kohl.
