Move more in 2026 with 30-20-2

Welcome to 2026!  

This year, we want to get our community moving more, in a way that works for them.  

In our busy lives, finding time to exercise can be a challenge. Our days are already packed with to-do lists and commitments, and adding one more “to-do” can seem impossible. Add to that all the online noise telling us what we should, or shouldn’t do, finding the right kind of movement for you might feel overwhelming.  

The thing is, being active isn’t about just about fitness and giving 100% all the time, it’s about living well consistently, and finding the gentle balance that works for you.  

So, where do I start? 
That’s where we come in; because on your wellness journey, you shouldn’t have to do it alone.  To support you in moving more, we have come up with a simple guide to help you get started. 

We are excited to introduce 30-20-2. 
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. It’s an easy way to make movement achievable, flexible, and part of everyday life. 

Here’s what it means. 

Adults in Australia should aim for: 

30 mins moderate activity daily 
Moderate activity means you’re moving, breathing comfortably, and able to speak in full sentences. Think swimming, a brisk walk, or joining a PARC class. 

OR 

20 mins vigorous activity daily 
Vigorous activity gets your heart pumping—you’re breathing hard and speaking in short bursts. Try a cycle class, HIIT session, or a gym workout. 

AND  

2 strength sessions per week  
Build strength with resistance training. Our expert trainers can create a personalised plan for you, or you can try a Reformer Pilates class.  

Throughout 2026, we’ll support you to meet your 30-20-2 through the right mix of classes, programs, workouts, and services tailored to your goals and lifestyle. You’ll also see new blogs, events, videos and resources designed to help you keep moving and stay motivated. 

Together, we can achieve your goals, your way. Become a member today.

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.
Did you know that our vision is that 'Every Child In Frankston Can Swim'? 🌳👶

The Rotary Peninsula 2.0's Birth Tree is one way that's helping us to achieve this vision. 

By joining this year’s Birth Tree, you will receive a timeless tribute of your loved one in the form of a tree and plaque. Equally importantly, $45 of every contribution goes straight back to the community to help more children build confidence in the water, with free infant swimming lessons through the Can Swim initiative. 🏊

You can purchase a place for a baby born this year on the Birth Tree here: https://events.humanitix.com/parc-2026-birth-tree-and-family-garden
