Mental Health With Movember❤️
‘Pick Yourself Up’ Challenge💪🏻
We are taking on a new challenge to raise awareness and support mental health and su***de prevention. Mental health is something very close to my heart and I believe everyone should make it a priority in every day🙏🏻
Sometimes, you need to take that first step. You need to make the decision to pick yourself up, make changes and keep moving forward. You don’t have to do it alone but you gotta take that first step🫡
That is where the ‘Pick Yourself Up’ challenge comes in. We are going to lift 750,000kg together as a team. Every rep counts, every kg lifted lightens the load and the stigma around mental health🫶🏻
Why the deadlift?
What better way to represent picking yourself up than a deadlift? Anyone who knows me knows I love a deadlift!😤
Why 750,000kg?
The challenge is inspired by the number of lives lost to su***de around the world every year. An estimated 750,000 people take their own life by su***de, crazy to think!🤯
We want to raise awareness and shine light on that total number, we’re going to turn that figure into a target of 750,000kg lifted highlighting the scale of the issue and remember the lives behind the numbers❤️
How are we going to do it?
I’ll kick things off by getting under the bar and giving everyone a head start. Then, at the end of November (28th) we’ll bring the UC Fit community together for a big team deadlift class. We’ll get everyone involved. 60kg the lads, 40kg for the ladies and we’ll keep lifting together until we reach our target and beyond🎯
If you’d like to support the challenge and raise funds for mental health and su***de prevention, you can donate through the Movember link in my bio.
Cheers,
JB.
Pick Yourself Up. Start talking. Get training. Make time. We got this❤️
