The free online challenge offers three weeks of motivation, tools and inspiration designed to help South Africans start 2026 with purpose and consistency, says 5FM.
Running from Friday, 9 January to Friday, 6 February, the Red Bull Zero Excuses challenge encourages participants to commit to just one activity, whether it's running, gym training, cycling, yoga, dance or functional fitness, and remain consistent for at least four days a week over the 21-day period, adds the station.
Designed to make habit-building feel achievable, the challenge meets participants where they are. Through the Strava app, users can log their activity, track progress, earn digital badges and stay motivated while accessing inspiring fitness content from Red Bull athletes and creators. Along the way, participants can expect encouragement, surprises and community-driven momentum to keep them moving, says the station.
Participation in the Red Bull Zero Excuses challenge is completely free, with no purchase required.
Inspired by Red Bull Xero, which delivers the same wiiings as Red Bull Energy Drink with zero sugar, zero calories and its own unique taste, the challenge reflects Red Bull's commitment to supporting active lifestyles and everyday performance. In South Africa, where fitness culture continues to grow across gyms, outdoor spaces, and community driven movement, Red Bull Zero Excuses aims to empower individuals to stay consistent and prioritise their wellbeing, concludes the station.
Individuals are encouraged to join the Red Bull Zero Excuses Challenge on the Strava app here.
