Lockdown 5.0 – 5 things you can do to look after your body and mind

We want to make sure you stay connected, engaged and active this lockdown. Here are 5 things you can do to look after you!

    1. Check out PARC Your Way: Enjoy FREE, unlimited access to our digital exercise platform, with a library of over 800 online classes, workouts and instructional ‘How to’ videos. There is something for all fitness types, and all you need to do is sign up! 
    2. Try a PARC Your Way LIVE class: Missing your group exercise routine? We are running loads of LIVE PARC Your Way classes over the next seven days, including 6.30am sessions for our earlier risers to smash out a workout before work and home-schooling! Check out our LIVE timetable here.
    3. Download the PARC Fit App: Access and enjoy exercise programs created by our health and fitness team that you can do from home. Search for PARC Fit in your App Store.  
    4. Take time for yourself: Lockdown is exhausting. If you are home-schooling and working from home, it might feel like you never get a second to yourself. Make sure you take 5 minutes every day to do something for yourself. And please join our Mindfulness Sunday session on PARC your Way to take the headspace you need. See the timetable here.  
    5. Keep up your healthy habits and explore our local bubble: PARC has a cracking 5km radius for outdoor exercise. Why not check out the Sweetwater Creek boardwalk, the Frankston foreshore and pier, or the Frankston Nature Conservation Reserve? Keep active, stretch your legs, and take in our awesome surroundings. Don’t forget your mask!

We will be lighting up for Mito this Saturday 💚

You may notice this Saturday a few of Frankston’s iconic landmarks will be lit up green this Saturday. This is to support the global Light Up for Mito initiative, for World Mito Week. 

Landmarks worldwide are glowing green to raise awareness of Mitochondrial disease, a little-known, life-limiting genetic disorder.
