The Challenge

What is the best way to complete my crunches?

add remove

The choice is all yours! We designed this challenge to be flexible, so you're welcome to chose the crunch style that best suit your fitness level. The most important thing is that you're moving and making a difference!

Do I need to complete my daily crunches all in one go?

add remove

This challenge is all about what works best for you! If you prefer to cover the entire total of crunches in one continuous stretch, go for it! Alternatively, you're welcome to divide the series into smaller segments—perhaps some in the morning and some in the evening. The key is to complete the daily crunches in a way that fits into your lifestyle.

Must I complete the crunches every single day?

add remove

While the challenge is designed to encourage you to complete crunches daily, we understand life happens. If you miss a day, you're welcome to make up for it by adding a few more reps the following day. The goal is to make the challenge work for you while staying committed to the cause.

How can I accurately track my exercise during the challenge?

add remove

In your welcome email, you'll find an activity tracking calendar that tells you how many crunches each day to complete and for you mark off each day. For added convenience, consider using a fitness watch if you have one, as it's a great way to automatically keep track of your reps.

Alternatively, there are several smartphone apps available that can help you monitor your exercise. While these apps are not officially endorsed by Dementia Australia, they can be a useful tool.  Remember, the best tracking method is the one that keeps you motivated and accountable throughout your journey!
