Go solo or grab some mates and challenge yourself to 3,307 push-ups in June. Aim for half or the full push-up target. You can spread them out across the day.
 
Can't do a push-up? No worries. You can also complete your target goal with squats, burpees, sit-ups etc. It is about getting involved in the conversation and being part of something fun.
 
Why 3,307 push-ups? Sadly, this is the number of people who lost their lives to suicide in 2024.

Learn about mental health.

Each day, you'll learn about mental health as the push-up target relates to a vital mental health statistic in Australia.

For example, three 45-minute exercise sessions per week (135 minutes total) are enough to provide anti-depressant benefits to mental health.
