Need some inspo to get moving as the days get cooler? Join PARC’s My Movement Challenge to help you create healthy habits, build momentum and stay motivated.

What is the My Movement Challenge?

The My Movement Challenge is all about moving more this May. Simply spell out P.A.R.C each week by focusing on your Progression, Activity, Recovery and CHALLENGE. Get your card stamped to spell out P.A.R.C each week. Get 4 x P.A.R.C’s over the course of the 4 week Challenge period, and achieve your Challenge!

  • P = Progression – take that next step by increasing weight, distance or intensity
  • A = Activity – just move more by increasing duration or visitation
  • R = Recover, Refuel, Refer or Recreate by focusing on your body post workout with an Active Recovery. Re-fuel your body at our awesome Cafe. Refer a friend into the Challenge. Or, take some time for yourself by putting your child in PARC Creche for a little ‘you time’ recreation. 
  • C = Challenge – push yourself by trying something new, or by completing the weekly Challenge loaded into the PARC FitApp.
