CMHA: 2025 Push-Up Challenge

until Friday February 28 11:55 PM @ Where you are right now

Participate in the 2nd annual exciting mental health and fitness initiative, The Push-Up Challenge, from Tuesday Feb 11 to Friday Feb 28, 2025.

Participants will be challenged to complete 2,000 push-ups over 18 days for the ~2,000 lives lost to suicide each day, worldwide.

Participants can aim for a smaller portion of the total target (such as 25%, 50% or 75%). Alternative exercises are fair game (think squats, knee push-ups, or even jumping jacks).  Check out some more ideas here!

The Push-Up Challenge is a virtual event that is free and easy to be involved in. It is a unique way to engage your organization in mental health by:

  • Learning about mental health:Throughout the challenge, participants are set a daily push-up target which relates to a mental health statistic.
  • Encouraging connection:Participants benefit from a positive team spirit and sense of comradery amongst their teammates, workmates, and other groups, both virtually and in person.
  • Reducing stigma:Facilitates conversations about mental health and encourages people to seek help when they need it.
  • Promoting fitness:Exercise can positively impact your mental health. Push-ups can be done anywhere and anytime, and participants can aim for a target which suits their ability.
  • Make a difference:You can choose to raise funds for CMHA North Bay and District to improve mental health outcomes in your community. Locally, the funds raised from The Push-Up Challenge will go toward a client assistance fund which helps support our most financially vulnerable clients.
