28X Challenge 2026

1st February 2026, 9:00 am – 9:00 pm

28 days of X habit to kickstart a permanent lifestyle change.

Is there a new lifestyle change you would like to make for 2026? Build a habit and make it a permanent lifestyle change by joining our 28X Challenge.

The 21/90 rule states that it takes 21 days to make a habit and 90 days to make it a part of your permanent lifestyle. Take the first step by signing up to join our challenge and commit to your goal for 28 days.

This challenge is for you, a personal journey. We want to make it fun and create a way for everyone to support each other on our journeys. As such, you’ll be part of a WhatsApp community group where we’ll celebrate each other’s successes.

This year, we want to support everyone in getting active so we’re encouraging you to set physical challenges. It could be 10-minutes of daily stretching, a core or squat workout, a daily walk for a set time, 2,000 steps a day – whatever you choose, make sure it’s realistic and achievable within your daily routine.

How it works:

Sign up below with your name and a brief description of your goal. Make it specific e.g. I will walk at least 2k steps per day, not I will walk more. (If you want to check out a list of new habit ideas for inspiration, click here)
You’ll receive a welcome pack complete with a calendar tracker and pen (you can also use a habit tracking app to monitor your progress if you wish).
You’ll be added to a WhatsApp community group with other 28Xers to help you stay motivated.
Keep your streak going until the end of the month (and beyond!)
If you manage to last to the end of the month, Congratulations, you’ll receive a limited edition 28X pin badge to show off your achievement!

28X is simple but being from ARC it still packs in a lot of the science about how to build new habits – like having a specific goal, sticking to it and having positive peer support. We’re excited to see what changes our awesome community will make (and are busy working on our own)!
