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
  • PARC Fit Run 
  • 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.

Did you know Dry Needling/Accupuncture is available from the Compass Allied Health team, located in our Allied Health Suites

Dry needling is a technique where a very fine needle is gently inserted into tight or painful muscles to release “knots” (trigger points). These tight spots can cause pain, stiffness, and reduced movement.

The goal? It help muscles relax, move better, and feel less painful.

Who can benefit?
• Athletes & active people
• Anyone with tight or stiff muscles
• Desk-related neck or back pain
• Headaches, sciatica, jaw pain (TMJ), or joint issues

Curious if dry needling is right for you? Get in touch with Compass Allied Health to book an initial consult with Jack (Giac).
⭐️ Swimming for a cause: Meet Clinton Hosie ⭐️
 
This February, PARC Aquatic Access member Clinton Hosie is taking on a new challenge - swimming 14km to raise funds for the Starlight Children’s Foundation as part of their Super Swim.
 
Every minute of every day, a child in Australia is admitted to hospital. Clinton is diving in to help bring joy, laughter, and comfort to sick kids when they need it most.
 
We love seeing you at PARC putting in the laps, Clinton - your dedication in and out of the pool is inspiring.
 
Good luck, have fun, and thank you for swimming for such an important cause!
