Find your “Future You” with PARC

Throughout 2022 we asked our members about their motivations in being active. The overwhelming response, regardless of age, fitness level or ability, was that you want to be your best self. You want to be the best version of yourself, for you, and for your loved ones. A big part of that was continually building a healthy body and mind. Which begs the question, “What does your best self feel like? Who is your Future You?”

This year, we invite you to create your Future You at PARC. Think about yourself in 3 or 6 months time… what do you see and feel? Do you see a stronger, healthier you? Do you feel more peaceful and content? Are you on your road to recovery from injury, or are you someone who has changed their routine to include time to focus on you? Do you see healthier habits? Are you someone who is more rested, more calm, more empowered?

Whatever your Future You, whatever you want to achieve in your health goals in 2023, PARC can help you get there. We are all about improving lives through activity and connection, and we want to help you on your journey towards your best self.

 

Write a letter to Future You

Do you remember those time capsules we did in primary school? Now’s the time to channel your imagination and tell yourself what you want to achieve in your health journey in 2023. Write a letter to your future self, and PARC will post it to you in the future – to see how you are tracking against your health goals.

By writing this letter and visualising your Future You throughout the year, it will keep you motivated and accountable! Plus, when the letter arrives in the mail, you can see how you tracked against your health goals.

Blogs and info to help you on your Future You journey

We know how important it is to prioritise your health ongoing, not just for those first few months after Christmas. So, keep an eye on our PARC Blog where we will be sharing tips, tricks, recipes and more with you to maintain your momentum. Each blog will focus on a Future You theme such as a contented you, a rested you, a stronger you, a fitter you, or a more confident YOU!

Let’s kick-start 2023 with a focus on your health and wellbeing. We’re here to help! Enquire now to join PARC.

Have you heard of Habit Stacking? 🤔

It's a great way to add movement into your day by pairing small exercises with habits you already do - helping you be active and achieve 30-20-2, even when life is busy!

You can incorporate simple exercises into your daily task, such as:
- Squats while the kettle boils - turn waiting time into movement time.
- Calf raises while brushing your teeth - two minutes of strength, twice a day.
- Lunges down the hallway - every trip becomes a mini workout.
- Marching on the spot while folding laundry- complete some of your vigorous or moderate exercise every trip.
- Glute squeezes while sitting at your desk - perfect for busy workdays.

Remember, all movement counts 🙌

For more information about 30-20-2, or helpful resources and workouts to get you moving, head to our Digital Hub.

A feel good Friday post for you... Nic kicks two goals, in one! 🏉

Nicole, one of our long term PARC Team members, achieved a life-long dream last weekend. 

Nic has always wanted to play football, and last week, she not only achieved that dream, but kicked her first goal at her very first game! What made it even more special was who she shared it with. Her daughter Bella was her teammate on the field (you might recognise Bella from the PARC Cafe!), her son Billy was the proud goal umpire🌟

Nic is an amazing part of Team PARC, and an example that shows it doesn’t matter how old you are to start something new. If you have a dream or goal that you want to achieve, go for it, we are here to support you! Congrats Nic! 🩵
