SUMMARY:The Push-Up Challenge 2025
DESCRIPTION:Click Here to Learn More ( https://www.thepushupchallenge.ca/beneficiary/cmha-newfoundland--labrador-division )\n \nThe Push-Up Challenge is Canada’s largest annual mental health-focused fitness event.\n \nEach push-up represents a life lost to suicide\nFrom February 11 to 28, 2025, participants will complete 2,000 push-ups (or a more accessible variation of this), which represents the ~2,000 lives lost to suicide each day, worldwide.\nDaily push-up targets and Mental Health Facts\nEach day of the Challenge, you’ll receive a different push-up target, which corresponds to an important Mental Health Fact. Read and share the facts to start mental health conversations and help smash the stigma around mental illness.\nOptions for all fitness levels\nIf push-ups aren’t your thing, you can still participate. Substitute push-ups with alternative exercises, like sit-ups, squats, jumping jacks – anything goes. You can also choose to aim for 50% of the push-up target and smash out 1,000 push-ups instead of 2,000.\nGo solo or team up and push together\nWe recommend creating a Team/ Community with your mates, workplace, gym, club, school or family to stay motivated and have some fun. Scroll down to find out more about Teams and Communities. You can also participate solo.\nTrack your progress and get daily updates on the app\nUse the free app ( https://www.thepushupchallenge.ca/the-app ) to get the daily push-up targets and facts, bank (aka log) your push-ups and keep track of your progress. The app also gives you access to a heap of tips, personalised resources, your individual/ Team/ Community stats and more.\nFundraise to make a difference\nYou can choose to raise funds for your local CMHA branch or CMHA National while you push. The Canadian Mental Health Association supports people living with mental illness, as well as preventing mental ill-health and promoting mental health and resilience for all Canadians, so every dollar you raise (or donate) will make a difference.\n \nWhy take on The Push-Up Challenge?\n\n\nGet fit and challenge yourself\n\n\nLearn about mental health\n\n\nFeel more connected by being part of something bigger\n\n\nMake a difference to mental health outcomes by raising awareness, reducing stigma and fundraising for CMHA\n\n\n \nRegister Here to Join the Challenge!
