CHAS A-Z Exercise Challenge: 1-26 April 2020
Just because we are in lockdown doesn’t mean you need to stop keeping active! We have been busy developing some indoor-based activities to keep you busy, promote self-care and wellbeing and offer a bit of fun in these unusual times.
Introducing the A to Z Exercise Challenge!
From 1 April, we will be sharing an exercise a day on our YouTube channel as part of the CHAS A to Z Exercise Challenge! With each exercise corresponding to a letter in the CHAS alphabet, you will be able to watch a demonstration video featuring a qualified personal trainer every day, going from A and making it all the way to Z, on 26 April. Your wellbeing is so important in this lockdown period and exercise is the perfect way to practice self-care and stay active!
To take part, all you need to do is:
- Follow our playlist on YouTube and give each daily exercise a go at your own pace. If you're enjoying the exercises, please consider donating to CHAS: www.chas.org.uk/donate.
- Take on the challenge – if you feel confident, take a look at the recommended sets and reps of each exercise, and commit to it. Set up a fundraising page on Facebook or JustGiving (guidance links below), and get friends and family to sponsor as you take on this intense indoor fitness challenge!
We’d love to see videos or photos of you completing each day’s exercise, so don’t forget to upload these to your social media accounts using the hashtag #AtoZCHAS!
Keep your eyes peeled each day for each new exercise, starting with ‘A’ on 1 April, and we hope to see as many of you taking part as possible!

If you are one of our supporters who will be taking part in the Kiltwalk, the Edinburgh Marathon Festival or the Supernova Kelpies later this year, this is the perfect challenge for you to both keep up your training and fundraising.
