How does it work?
You can solo or grab some mates and challenge yourself to 3,249 push-ups from 5 to 28 June. You can also aim for half or the full push-up target. 3,249 push-ups represent the number of people who died by suicide in Australia in 2022.
I can't do push-ups. What else can I do?
We welcome any exercise that you can do, and it's not just push-ups. You can do Sit-ups, pull-ups, star jumps, squats or any modified exercise. This challenge is all about moving and bettering your mental health!
