Active April

Active April Blog Header

Premier’s Active April encourages all Victorians to do 30 minutes of physical activity a day during April. It’s free, it’s fun and it’s part of the Victorian Government’s commitment to getting more people active and healthy. Start small – remember every little bit counts. It’s an easy way to kick start a healthier you!

Throughout the month of April, PARC are holding four free boot camps at Beauty Park for those who have registered through the Active April website:

Saturday 4th April 9-10am
Wednesday 15th April 6-7pm
Saturday 18th April 9-10am
Wednesday 29th April 6-7pm

Bring a drink bottle, sweat towel and a friend and make sure you register here.

As a participant, you can log your daily activity and track your progress with the Activity Timer on the mobile or web App. This year, the all-new Fitbit integration makes it even easier to track your activity throughout April.

You can also create and join teams, compare the progress of team members and explore the My Offers feature to discover events, offers and facilities that are available across Victoria. Plus, the Get Active Workout Program provides instructional videos with helpful tips and tricks to keep active each day at home, work or in the local park.

This week, our PARC Swim team have organised some Commonwealth Games themed fun, to celebrate our Aussie athletes, who are absolutely dominating this year! 🥇

To celebrate, our PARC Swim teachers will include a small segment in this week’s lessons, using our snakes and ladders game, aligning a swimming activity with a participating sporting event 🏊🏃

Make sure to check out our activity table, and show support for Australia, or any other participating country by wearing their colours to your lesson this week! 
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 🙌
