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.

My Updates

Day 11 to Day 16

Tuesday 16th Jun
I’ve missed a few posts, been a little busy, but I’ve kept up with the crunches. I did only do 50 on 12th but have made up for it so I’m back on track. After this mornings exercises I’m down to 1100 to go. 

Day 9&10

Wednesday 10th Jun
Staying strong with my 100 a day. Although I felt like sleeping in this morning. 💤
After yesterday and today I’m down to 1600 to go. 

Day 7&8

Monday 8th Jun
So day 7 was a semi rest day. I didn’t do crunches but I did help family move house. 😃 so I still got some exercise in haha. 
Day 8 another 100 down which brings me to 1800 to go. 

Days 5&6

Saturday 6th Jun
Missed posting yesterday. Thought I’d combine two days in the one post. So yesterday and today did 100 each which brings the count down to 1900. 
No day 7, I’ll be having Sunday as a rest day. See y’all Monday!

Day 4

Thursday 4th Jun
A little rushed this morning but still managed to get my daily 100 done before work. 😃 only 2100 to go haha

Day 3 update

Wednesday 3rd Jun
Well I managed to get the last 40 crunches in despite a long day of work. Woot still on track with my 100 per day. 
300 down 2200 to go. 

Day 3

Wednesday 3rd Jun
Well day 3 was slightly interrupted by my cat. She came sat on my stomach. And like any cat owner knows, when your is on your lap or in this case my stomach, you don’t move. 🤣
Needless to say I did not get my 100 done this morning. Only 60. So I will do the remaining 40 when I get home from work tonight. 

Day 2

Tuesday 2nd Jun
Staying strong. Day 2 another 100 crunches. 200/2500.

Well it’s day 1 and I’ve started with a bang. 100 crunches this morning. 
Only 2400 more to go.
