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.

Join us in going off social media for a day on 24 October. 

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
🔌 Support vital education and awareness programs

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.
