100 Push-ups. One stronger workplace.
Bring your team together this World Mental Health Day and complete 100 push-ups for mental health on Friday 9 October.
A shared challenge is a simple way to get moving, connect with colleagues and start meaningful conversations about mental health at work.
Tackle the 100 together or spread them across the day. Push-ups not for everyone? Swap them for squats, sit-ups, steps or any movement that works for your team.
Make your 100 count
Log your 100 in the App, then download and share our ready-made resources below to show how your workplace is moving for mental health.
Movement is good for the mind.
Just 150 minutes of physical activity each week can make a real difference to your mental wellbeing. Regular movement helps reduce stress, boost mood, and support better mental health.
This World Mental Health Day, join us for 100 push-ups and do something good for your mind and body.
