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 week, our PARC Swim team have organised some Commonwealth Games themed fun, to celebrate our Aussie athletes, who are absolutely dominating this year! 🥇

To celebrate, our PARC Swim teachers will include a small segment in this week’s lessons, using our snakes and ladders game, aligning a swimming activity with a participating sporting event 🏊🏃

Make sure to check out our activity table, and show support for Australia, or any other participating country by wearing their colours to your lesson this week! 
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 🙌
