THE FOUNDATION CHALLENGE

By Matt Tojic & Shanan Wood

What is the Foundation Challenge?

Did you know: HEART DISEASE is the leading cause of death in Australia and New Zealand? 10,000 steps per day | 100km cycle per week | 30 squats per day. Just by choosing one of these excercises, you can dramatically decrease your risk of suffering from heart disease. And if you think you can't... we will be doing a whole month's worth of these exercises IN ONE DAY! That works out to be 300,000 steps, 400km cycle and 900 squats! 
We are 2 average blokes from the Blue Mountains of Sydney and, after the sudden death of a friend and colleague from a heart attack, we wanted to find a way to bring attention to a problem most of us ignore.
Small changes in our diet and lifestyle can make a huge difference to our heart health. So to prove that anyone can make those small changes, we are taking on this massive challenge. If 2 average blokes can take 300,000 steps, cycle 400km and do 900 squats ins a day, anyone can get moving and improve their health.
We will split the distance in half and aim to complete 150,000 steps, 200km cycle and 450 squats each over a 24 hour period. Our plan is to start at the top of Knapsack hill in the lower Blue Mountains of Sydney. We will run down the mountain to the Regatta Centre in Penrith where we will run and ride around the lake until we complete the challenge
