Million Moves is coming to Western Australia
AUSactive is set to roll out its successful Million Moves initiative in Western Australia in May 2025, with the expressions of interest registration for businesses, professionals and local companies now open.
Following the successful first-ever Million Moves on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast in May this this, which saw the local community achieve more than 2 million moves, it’s time for Western Australians to inspire a more active WA by jumping on board and showing their support for the initiative.
Speaking at the ExPro Fitness Summit and Festival today, AUSactive CEO Barrie Elvish said the aim of the Million Moves initiative was to get more people moving across all communities within metro and regional Western Australia.
“The Western Australia Million Moves initiative, supported by the WA government for the next three years,
will target all community groups across the 15 federal electorates across the state over a three-year project,” Mr Elvish said.
“Million Moves is a fantastic community-led initiative that brings people together while getting active and moving daily across a three-week period.”
“Did you know that 75% of Australians don’t get the required amount of physical exercise a day? The Million Moves initiative is a challenge for everyone to move 75 times a day for 21 days to build up a new routine.
“This challenge is for all ages and abilities and moves can be big or small, it’s just about getting active each day.
“Sunshine Coast participants said the sense of community and access to new facilities and classes were the highlight of their involvement in Million Moves.”
To take part in Million Moves participants can register and pledge their commitment to complete a minimum of 75 moves each day for 21 days.
During the pilot Sunshine Coast Million Moves more than 1,300 people completed the challenge across four federal electorates and the Western Australia Million Moves is set to be even bigger.
