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.
