Crunches Challenge 2026

I'm taking on the Crunches Challenge this June for Dementia Australia

Currently, it is estimated that more than 446,500 Australians are living with dementia. Without a significant intervention, the number of Australians living with dementia is expected to increase to more than 1 million by 2065.

Your contribution will make a world of difference for people impacted by dementia, every donation big or small counts!

Thank you so much for your support.

Day 13 -150 Crunches Done 🎉

Saturday 13th Jun
I honestly can't tell if they're getting easier or harder to do, but I'm getting them done!  Totals now up to 1,948 out of the 4,465 I'm aiming for 🎉

Day 12 - 150 Crunches

Friday 12th Jun
Day 12 done and dusted 🎉 slowly but surely getting through 

Day 11 - 150 crunches

Thursday 11th Jun
Day 11 ✅🎉 

Day 10 - 150

Wednesday 10th Jun
Somehow (after my mammoth catch up session) I'm back on track to complete 4,465 crunches for the month 🎉

Day 6-9 all together 🫣

Tuesday 9th Jun
So, I would not recommend going away for the long weekend and doing a make up session when you get back...
 Day 6 -150 Crunches 
Day 7 - 150 Crunches 
Day 8 - 150 mountain climbers to mix things up 
Day 9 - 150 Crunches. 

Since I'm also doing the Push-Up Challenge at the same time, I also had to 150 Kneeling Push Ups, 140 Squats (instead of push ups) and then combo-d the 170 for today by doing 70 push ups then a 1m 40sec (100- second total) plank.  

0/10 would not recommend this method. 


Day 5 - 150 crunches

Friday 5th Jun
My total of completed crunches is now 748.. and tell you what.. I feel that in my soul. It's beyond my abs now, goodness ME 

Day 4 - 150 Crunches

Friday 5th Jun
I don't know why adding a photo made it not post right .. rude 

Day 3 - 150 Crunches

Wednesday 3rd Jun
Isn't it so fun when two challenges happen at the same time? 
Today was day 3 of the Dementia Australia challenge, but day 1 of the Push-Up Challenge for Mental Health. My body hurts 😂 

Day 2-150 Crunches

Tuesday 2nd Jun
✅ 2 down, 28 to go 

Day 1 - 148 Crunches

Monday 1st Jun
First of all, crunches HURT. 
Second, I'm trying to set myself a goal to do 4,465 crunches over the 30 days for the estimated 446,500 people in Australia who are living with Dementia.  Let's see how we go hey. 
Thanks to those that have donated already 💕
