The Stroke Recovery Association NSW & Royal Rehab Private Petersham are very excited to be holding the Reps to Recovery Stroke Challenge in 2024.

This challenge will run from Monday, 27th May, to Sunday, 2nd June 2024, to celebrate the Stroke Recovery Association’s 47th year of operation in NSW.

During this week, we ask you to set an individualised repetitive exercise goal. We want to challenge you to see how many repetitions of the exercises you can do.

This goal could be anything from taking 500 steps, raising your arms 30 times, or repeating the steps to drink from a cup, 10,000 steps, 5km run— no goal is too big or too small. Track how many reps you can do for the week and share with us!
