Active April
This April all the practitioners and assistants at BCNC are teaming up for the Premier’s Active April challenge. We extend our invitation to all our patients and friends to join in the challenge to get moving more!
The reason we support this so much is that is it so easy to get caught up into the daily grind and simply forget to exercise. We know that being active for as little as 30 minutes each day can:
- Boost mood by decreasing cortisol (stress) production
- Increase metabolism
- Stimulate muscle gain and build bone density
- Increase energy levels
- Improve insulin sensitivity (because you are burning your fuel instead of storing it)
- Improve brain function via the promotion of blood flow and oxygen to brain
- Improved sleep quality due to the energy depletion that occurs and needs to be restored during sleep
- Reduce pain and improve quality of life
All you need to do is download the Active April app and enter in the code ‘team-bergamo’. From here you can track your activity each day. Every participant will receive:
- 10 free passes to a participating YMCA or local government recreation facility
- 15% off at Sportsmart in store and online
- one hour free tennis court hire at Melbourne Park or Albert Reserve
- a 2 for 1 ticket offer to SEA LIFE Melbourne Aquarium
- a 2 for 1 ticket offer to Otway Fly Treetop Adventures
- a 2 for 1 ticket offer to Legoland Discovery Centre Melbourne
- 15% discount for Rock Up Netball programs
- 20% discount for Netball Victoria school holiday clinics
- 5 free group dance lessons at a Dancesport Victoria centre
- 10% off Term 2 MyGolf Junior program
- a 2 for 1 green fee offer at Golf Victoria courses
- entry into the draw to win tickets to the 2019 Australian Open Tennis Finals
- a chance for your school to win visits from high-profile sporting personalities
- weekly email tips on healthy eating and being active
- a range of benefits, prizes and resources for Schools and Workplacesparticipating in Active April.
With school holidays in full swing, these offers are great activity ideas to get out of the house and get moving! If you have any questions, just ask any of our practitioners next time you are at the clinic. We look forward to seeing a healthier, fitter you!
