HOW IT WORKS

DAILY TARGETS AND FACTS 

We'll give you daily push-up targets that relate to an important Mental Health Fact. You can track your daily progress and check out the facts on the app. 

EVERYONE CAN PARTICIPATE

You don't have to be a push-up pro to participate. Substitute push-ups with sit-ups, squats or tailored exercises. You can also aim for half the push-up target.

GO SOLO OR JOIN A TEAM

Sign up solo or get a crew together. Invite your matesworkschoolgym or club to join you. The more the merrier. Super recruiters can even create a Community.
