Story

This is my own personal take on the 2.6 Challenge in support of SpecialEffect. Like many people, I've been doing my best to keep fit since the lockdown came into effect, however I'm not always the most diligent about keeping to my exercise regime! I thought it would be good to challenge myself to carry out 2 x feats of physical skill and endurance for each of the next 6 days. It just so happens that May 2nd is my birthday, when I'll be... err... 26?! Not really, but it seemed fitting that I should aim to finish on a high that day. So let's see how I get on! Oh, and I should probably mention, I'll be undertaking each exercise/ workout wearing a duck suit, just to make things a little more difficult for myself!

*UPDATE: 29/4/20 Midway through the Clubbercise class this evening I realise that I'd gotten my maths wrong and there were actually 7 days inclusive between 26 April and 2 May (duh!). I've therefore decided to just do one challenge each day on Thursday and Friday and then go for a Grande Finale on Saturday. TD.

Here's what I plan to do:


Sunday 26 April

AM: Bat and Ball Challenge

PM: Blinding Lights Challenge


Monday 27 April

AM: Dumbells Challenge

PM: Aunt Ducky Challenge


Tuesday 28 April

AM: Press-ups Challenge

PM: Running Machine Challenge

Wednesday 29 April

AM: Squats Challenge

PM: Clubbercise Challenge (with my cousin Leila)


Thursday 30 April

PM: Pilates Challenge


Friday 1 May

AM: Spin Challenge


Saturday 2 May

AM: Zumba Challenge (with my cousin Hannah)

PM: Grand Finale - THE DUCK RACE (lockdown triathlon)
