How to hit your 30-20-2 at PARC

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
  • Weight lifting 
  • 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.

This Saturday, on 24 October, we are joining Unplug24, a 24-hour break from social media in solidarity with SmackTalk – an organisation founded by local Wayne Holdsworth to honour his son, Mac, and raise awareness around suicide prevention.

Unplug24 encourages us to step away from social media and reconnect offline to:
🔌 Protect mental health
🔌 Raise awareness to prevent suicide

Let’s join together and unplug from all social media for the day – at work and at home – to show our support for this important cause.

The month of October is Walktober! 🚶‍♀️

This is a great opportunity to build more movement into your day, especially coming out of the winter months, and work towards your 30-20-2! Here are five tips from our Health and Fitness Team, on how you can get more steps in this Walktober: 

🛗 Take the stairs - Skip the lift when you can. 
🚗 Park further away - Add a few hundred steps before you've even started your day. 
📞 Walk while you talk - Take phone calls or catch-ups on the move. 
🌯 Do a lap at lunchtime - Even 10 minutes counts. 
🖥️ Step on the spot - Take a minute, and get some steps in at your desk

As always, if you need any help or guidance in getting your 30-20-2, please don’t hesitate to speak with one of our friendly staff members, or visit our Digital Hub for some inspiration.
