This year is all about your health and wellbeing on your terms, and we believe that your journey is as individual as you are. It’s about pacing yourself over the year, not ‘emptying the tank’ in summer and burning out too quickly. It’s time to move towards success at a pace you set yourself. So, let’s start by setting your Pace at PARC with a Pace Phrase!  

What’s a Pace phrase? Your Pace Phrase is a word that best describes your health and fitness goals or intention for 2025. It can be whatever you want! Whether you want to focus on progression, or maybe setting up a consistent routine, to wanting more balance in your life, your word sets your pace.  

Here are a few ideas to inspire you:  

  • Progress Progressing towards beating your personal best in the gym or advancing to the next stage of swimming classes.
  • Balance – Finding balance in your life, by prioritising mental and emotional health through physical well-being.
  • Strength – Building physical strength and mental resilience to overcome whatever challenges you may face.
  • Community – A year of finding new friends or reconnecting with those who motivate and support your health and fitness goals.
  • Me! – Perhaps it’s simply you, finding your happy place and being the best version of yourself. 

Ask yourself, what Pace phrase describes your health and fitness goals this year? As you explore your Pace remember the PARC team is here to support you every step of the way with a range of options to match your Pace phrase.

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 🙌

For more information about 30-20-2, or helpful resources and workouts to get you moving, head to our Digital Hub.
