How fit do I need to be to take part?

We have seen people with all sorts of fitness levels take part. If you're not sure, best chat to your health professional. Being able to complete 10 push-ups in 1 set (without stopping) is a good place to start.

If you struggle to complete that we recommend a little bit of pre-season training. Don't forget, you can always do alternatives like sit-ups, squats, or tailored exercises.

To break it up, there are rest days (every Sunday) within the event to recharge those push-up batteries for the coming week.

We also have badges that are awarded when 25%, 50% and 75% of the daily target are reached. If that sounds better for you, you could aim to reach one of these badged each day!
