Push and bank
Fundraise
Share your page and raise money for MHFNZ, so more people in crisis get help when they need it most.
Targets change daily
Each day brings a new push-up target, inspired by a Mental Health Fact. You'll find it in the app.
Mix it up
You don't have to do them all in one go. Break them into sets, and swap in squats or sit-ups if your arms get sore.
Stick to the day's target
Once you've hit it, you're done for the day. Extra push-ups can't be banked for later.
Sundays are rest days
Or use them to catch up. Missed push-ups can be banked later, even for a few weeks after the Challenge finishes.
You can take on the Challenge solo, but it's even better with company. Push on your own, start a Team or build a Community.
Individual
Each person registers and tracks their own push-ups.
Team
A group of individual participants taking part together. When you create a Team, you can invite people to join you and track your collective stats and individual rankings.
Community
A Community is a collection of Teams. You can even invite people to join or create their own Team within your Community. You can track collective stats, as well as see Team and individual rankings.
However you’re taking part, the free Push For Better app keeps you on track.
