Reset and Reboot Your Pace this Spring 

Reset and Reboot Your Pace this Spring 

Did you slow down a little this winter? When the cooler weather hits, it’s normal to change your routines. You can’t get outdoors as much, the days are shorter, and sometimes we just need a bit more rest.  

As we head into warmer months, it’s the perfect opportunity to step out of the slower rhythm of winter and reset Your Pace for Spring.  

Need a little inspiration to get started? Here are six practical PARC tips to help ease you back into moving more:  

  1. Start Small 
    There is no ‘making up for lost time’.  Take a balanced approach and ease in and find a rhythm that suits you and is manageable. Start out with adding just one session to your routine each week and build up gradually.  

  2. Try Something New 
    New season, new energy. Sometimes our routines can get stale. Experiment and change it up by trying something different. Join a group exercise class you haven’t tried before, or Small Group Training for an extra boost of encouragement from others doing it with you.  

  3. Set One Clear Intention 
    Focus on one goal. It might be something movement based, like increasing flexibility or building strength. It could be routine based, like committing to a set number of exercise sessions each week. Or it could be focused on sleep, nutrition, whatever you choose. You don’t need to hit all your goals at once.  

  4. Take Advantage of the Season 
    Warmer days makes it easier to get out and get moving. Enjoying exercise in fresh air not only has physical benefits but is beneficial for mental wellbeing as well. Try adding a walk to your routine or join one of our outdoor programs like PARC Fit Outdoor or PARC Fit Run to soak up the sun and connect with others.   

  5. Book Your Workouts  
    Treat your exercise session as an appointment. Whether it’s a class or a solo session, locking it in your calendar helps you stay committed and prioritise movement.

Remind yourself of your Pace Phrase 

What was the Pace Phrase did you set at the start of the year to describe your health and fitness goals for 2025?  Think about the intention you set for yourself and use that to inspire you to keep moving and working towards your goal.  

There is no right or wrong pace when it comes to your own health journey, so set yourself up with a routine that works for you. As always, our PARC Staff are here to support you reach your health and wellbeing goals.

Have you heard of Incidental Exercise? 🧹🚶‍♀️

Incidental exercise is physical activity that occurs naturally as part of your daily routine! It’s the small bursts of activity you accumulate throughout the day, such as carrying in the groceries, or playing with the kids, that helps you achieve your 30-20-2. 

Some examples of Incidental Exercise are: 
- Doing housework like vacuuming, mopping, or gardening
- Walking up stairs instead of taking elevator or escalator 
- Parking further away from your destination to get your steps up
- Walking during lunch breaks, or having a standing meeting

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.
How cute it this?! 🦄

Our Cafe team always know how to add a little magic into your day! ✨

Help us ensure PARC is a safe venue for the whole community to enjoy 🏊

At PARC, we participate in the statewide Watch Around Water program. Watch Around Water is an education and public awareness-raising program that defines the minimum supervision requirements for children in a pool setting. 

When visiting PARC, your child will be given a coloured wristband, based on their age. These wristbands help our lifeguards identify the level of supervison required for your child, and support a safe aquatic environment for everyone. 

Learn more about the Watch Around Water program, via the link in our bio.
