Our ‘I Challenge You’ series of exercises for athletics at home has been very popular with scottishathletics clubs and members.

The lockdown restrictions in place amid the coronavirus crisis may have eased slightly but overall they have of course led athletes, coaches and clubs to adapt their usual routines.

And we have been firmly of the view that the message has to be: Training? It’s still on, just different!

Now we’re pleased to share the final short video explaining our next ‘I Challenge You’ exercise routines for you to try at home.

In this one, GB Para international Derek Rae demonstrates scissor kicks/arms and asks you to see how many you can do in 30 seconds.

We see these as perfect for athletes of all ages and stages and urge clubs to engage with members by sharing this story and our social media posts.

Of course, remember, if you want to adjust the length of time you do these for, feel free!

As well as marathon man Derek, GB internationals Guy Learmonth, Allan Smith, Josh Kerr and Nikki Manson all featured in the ‘I Challenge You’ series and we send a big thank you to those athletes (and those who held the camera/phone to help film them).
