Your simple guide to getting more active more often
Welcome to Frankston’s movement for better health. The 30-20-2 Digital Hub is here to simplify the Australian National Physical Activity Guidelines and help you take action to be more active and healthier overall – one step, pedal or stretch at a time.
Why 30-20-2?
30-20-2 is your weekly activity formula for better health.
Being active isn’t just about fitness, it’s about living well. Regular movement improves:
- Physical health: Boosts heart health, bone strength, and energy levels
- Mental wellbeing: Reduces stress, anxiety, and improves mood
- Emotional resilience: Builds confidence and self-esteem
- Social connection: Encourages community, teamwork, and belonging
Whether you’re walking the dog, lifting groceries, or dancing in your living room—every move counts.
You can mix and match activity based on your lifestyle, preferences, and fitness level. The goal is to move more, feel better, and build strength – physically, mentally, emotionally and socially.
How do I do 30-20-2?
30-20-2 is a simple way to remember the right amount of regular activity which is recommended for better health.
Here’s how it works:
- 30 minutes daily of moderate activity OR
- 20 minutes daily of vigorous activity AND
- 2 days per week incorporating muscle strengthening activities.
Feel the difference with 30-20-2
Meeting your weekly activity goals doesn’t just improve your fitness, it changes how you feel, think, and connect with the world around you.
When your body and mind feel better, the change can be felt in everyday moments.
- “I have enough energy to play with my kids”
- “I have a clear mind and I can focus better”
- “I have more confidence to challenge myself and do something new”
- “I enjoy working out with my buddy”
- “I am less stressed about day to day and work life”
