As we all get back into routine now that school is back and the holidays are well and truly over, we want to help support you in staying active and making movement a consistent part of your week.
This year, we said our goal for 2026 is to get our community moving more, in a way that works for them. Our theme for this year is 30 or 20 plus 2, which is an easy formula to ensure you are getting enough exercise in your week:
30 minutes of moderate activity per day
OR
20 Minutes of vigorous activity per day
PLUS
2 muscle strengthening session per week
Our 30‑20‑2 formula is based on the Australian National Physical Activity Guidelines. Simply put, they are a guide on how much movement you need each day or each week to feel your best.
At PARC there are so many different ways you can achieve 30 or 20 plus 2.
Moderate activity:
- Walk on the treadmill
- Group exercise classes such as Tai Chi, Bodybalance or Yoga Class
- Gentle lap swimming or walking in the pool
- 30 minutes on the cross trainer
Vigorous activity:
- Session the rowing machines
- Group exercise classes such as Zumba, HIIT class or GRIT Cardio
- Interval session on the treadmill or bike
- Lap swimming or deep water running
Strength session:
- Complete a body weight workout

- Squats in the Warm Water Pool for something low impact
- Group exercise classes such as Powerzone, Reformer Pilates or Les Mills Core.
These are just a few fantastic options that you can choose from at PARC. Everyone’s fitness journey is different, and we’re here help to you find the right fit for your fitness routine.
