Last June we entered a Body Mechanic team in The Push Up Challenge to help raise money and awareness for mental health and fitness, and this year we are going to be push upping again!

The challenge takes place from the 4th to 26th June and to complete it you have to do 3,214 push ups. One for every life lost to suicide in Australia in 2023.

There is also a half target, so you can sign up for 1607 instead and still be a valuable part of the official challenge.

You can also substitute push ups for lunges, squats, sit ups, wall push ups, bridges, burpees or even hand-stand push ups!

There are lots of options, and no pressure to achieve the exact target, so please don’t be put off by the big number. This will be achievable for everyone.

You can CLICK HERE to join our team – just click on the “Join Us” button.

You should then download the official app so you can keep up to date with everything you need to know. Every day there is a set number of push ups (or alternatives) to complete, and you can log them on the app so they get added to our team tally.

We are registered in the Sports and Fitness category. Last year we finished very high up, so it would be great if we can do that again.

You can choose to donate money, or not to donate, it doesn’t matter – it would just be great for you to take part.

Please join us to help raise money and awareness for such a great cause.
