Celebrate International Women’s Day at PARC

#BreakTheBias with us at PARC! 

Join us as we celebrate women’s achievement and raise awareness against bias on Tuesday 8 March.

International Women’s Day is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. The day focuses on accelerating gender parity and is all about unity, celebration, reflection, advocacy and action. International Women’s Day has been occurring for well over a century – and continues to grow from strength to strength.

Come to PARC for FREE

At PARC we are surrounded by an amazing community of women, and men, and want to invite the community down to the facility for FREE from 8am – 3pm on Tuesday 8 March. We want to #breakthebias and break down the financial barrier of being active and enjoying recreation and time for yourself, so please come one, come all! PARC is an inclusive space to feel safe, and focus on your health and wellbeing.

Join our #BreakTheBias Workouts

We are also holding a series of #BreakTheBias Workouts, to demonstrate that being strong is for everyone. So often we see women reluctant to go into the gym and give it a go, thinking that weights and strength are ‘for men’. But let’s break this stereotype and show our community that being strong and looking after yourself is for everyone. We are offering free community events, including:

  • #BreakTheBias Strength 7.15-8.00am at PARC Health Club Outrace (BOOK FOR FREE HERE)
  • #BreakTheBias Strength 10.00-10.45am at PARC Health Club Outrace (BOOK FOR FREE HERE). Special note – This session will be led by our recently awarded Aquatics & Recreation Victoria Personal Trainer of the Year Pru Drago!
  • Join us for a quick grab and go breakfast from 8am – 10am on your way in or out of the Health Club.
  • #BreakTheBias Me Time 7pm from the comfort of your home via www.parcyourway.com.au. Yoga, Meditation and Stretch Flow to see your day out. Join LIVE and FREE via www.parcyourway.com.au/categories/live-class (no bookings required, you will just need to create a free account to log in).

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.
