Inspiring Push-Up Challenge moments by the Citro community
Every push-up told a story. Here’s how the Citro community came together to raise awareness for mental health.
By Robyn Peña
Looking after your mental wellbeing doesn’t always require a complete lifestyle overhaul. Often, it’s the small, everyday habits: spending time outdoors, moving your body and connecting with others that can make a meaningful difference.
These habits become even more valuable as we get older because healthy ageing is about more than just preventing illness. It’s about maintaining the strength, confidence and independence to keep doing the things we love, while also supporting our mental wellbeing.
That's what made this year's Push-Up Challenge so meaningful. It wasn't just about completing daily push-up targets. Every target represented a mental health statistic, encouraging participants to learn more about topics such as physical activity, loneliness, sleep, kindness and the importance of reaching out for support.
Celebrating the Citro community
The Push-Up Challenge may have been measured in push-ups, but its impact went far beyond the numbers. Over the past month, members of the Citro community came together with a shared goal: raising awareness for mental health while embracing the benefits of staying active.
One of the most rewarding parts of the campaign was seeing our community get involved in so many different ways. From creative videos and personal milestones to words of encouragement and shared laughs, every contribution reflected the spirit of the challenge: showing up, supporting one another and starting important conversations about mental health.
This month’s winners
Every video shared helped bring the spirit of the Push-Up Challenge to life, but one entry captured our attention in a particularly memorable way.
Our most creative video winner
Pete Firth captured our attention in a particularly memorable way. His imaginative approach to the Push-Up Challenge earned him our Most Creative Video award. To celebrate his effort, Pete will be taking to the skies with a Hot Air Balloon Experience for two (valued at $1,000), proudly sponsored by RedBalloon. Thanks for bringing so much energy and imagination to the challenge, Pete, we can't wait to hear all about your experience!
Our Funlab experience winners
The creativity didn't stop there. We also want to give a massive shout-out to our Funlab prize winners, who blew us away with their entertaining, lighthearted, and uniquely creative videos. They’ll be keeping the fun going with gift cards to enjoy unforgettable experiences at Funlab venues.
The Citro community has once again proven that keeping our bodies moving is one of the most powerful investments we can make in our mental and physical wellbeing. Cultivating these active habits is a cornerstone of healthy ageing, but doing so sustainably means learning how to protect your body by staying active safely.
