Choose your Spring routine with 30-20-2

This year, we’ve been sharing our formula for better health, 30-20-2, choose what you want to do. It’s a simple approach to wellbeing that encourages regular movement and strength training.

The good news? Improving your health and wellbeing doesn’t have to mean choosing just one activity or committing to a rigid fitness program. Because good health isn’t just about exercise, it’s about creating habits that work for you to support your physical and mental wellbeing.

With the seasons changing, spring naturally encourages us to refresh our routines and prioritise our health and wellbeing as we enjoy longer and warmer days.

To help you refocus, we’ve put together some simple ways to reset your routine and stay motivated.

  • Try something new: there are so many different ways to move and be active. If you’re routine hasn’t changed, why not try something new. Change up the equipment you use in the gym, jump into a different Group Exercise class, or dive into the pool for some laps.
  • Get Back to Basics: if you’ve fallen out of routine over winter, don’t feel like you need to do everything at once. Start with small, manageable changes and focus on consistency rather than perfection.
  • Prioritise recovery: recovery is an important part of any exercise routine, and can help you stay consistent in the long term. Make time to stretch and visit the spa, sauna or steam room to rest your muscles.
  • Explore the Digital Hub: Find workout inspiration with our 30-20-2 Digital Hub, which has free downloadable workouts, training tips and wellbeing content to help keep your routine engaging and support you in achieving your 30-20-2.

This spring, choose a routine that supports your health, your goals and your lifestyle. No matter where you’re starting from, PARC gives you the flexibility to move, strengthen and connect in a way that works for you.

Join us in going off social media for a day on 24 October. 

This Saturday, on 24 October, we are joining Unplug24, a 24-hour break from social media in solidarity with SmackTalk – an organisation founded by local Wayne Holdsworth to honour his son, Mac, and raise awareness around suicide prevention.

Unplug24 encourages us to step away from social media and reconnect offline to:

Let’s join together and unplug from all social media for the day – at work and at home – to show our support for this important cause.

The month of October is Walktober! 🚶‍♀️

This is a great opportunity to build more movement into your day, especially coming out of the winter months, and work towards your 30-20-2! Here are five tips from our Health and Fitness Team, on how you can get more steps in this Walktober: 

🛗 Take the stairs - Skip the lift when you can. 
🚗 Park further away - Add a few hundred steps before you've even started your day. 
📞 Walk while you talk - Take phone calls or catch-ups on the move. 
🌯 Do a lap at lunchtime - Even 10 minutes counts. 
🖥️ Step on the spot - Take a minute, and get some steps in at your desk

As always, if you need any help or guidance in getting your 30-20-2, please don’t hesitate to speak with one of our friendly staff members, or visit our Digital Hub for some inspiration.
