It’s time to do better when it comes to the mental health of young people.

That’s why we have launched our Can We Talk? campaign in partnership with Medibank.

Over the past week we’ve called for increased government funding for national and state support systems, which are overwhelmed.

We've also revealed startling figures, which show how many Australians are struggling.

Importantly, this campaign is a conversation starter to help families, friends, colleagues and peer groups be open with each other about their mental health.

Meanwhile we have also now released the second part of our six-week Get Your Body Right series which, in addition to a new workout, reveals a big mistake people are making when doing upper body exercises.

See below for what Anthony Dowsley, who is preparing for an upcoming trek to Machu Picchu, had to say about the first week (which focused on legs).

Was it Rod Stewart who sang the first squat is the deepest?

I may have that lyric a little wrong, but my first week of the Get Your Body Right series took me places I haven’t been for a long time.

I hate leg exercises almost as much as core exercises like sit-ups.

But I know the benefits of working to strengthen my legs will be critical in getting me fit enough to trek the Inca Trail, which winds through the Andes to one of the world’s great sights, Machu Picchu.

So for the past week I’ve been doing squats, calf raises, leg swings, step-ups, ankle rolls and the ever painful wall sit.

The pay-off?

A much easier climb at another Melbourne go-to destination – the Kokoda Track Memorial Walk, also known as the 1000 Steps.

Next up ...

The third part of the series will be focused on core.

Have a great week.
