The Challenge begins
Published 6 months ago in My life.The Premier’s Active Families Challenge has kicked off and it’s been a
solid start by the Merlino family, as I hope it has been for other
Victorian families taking the challenge.
Only a few days in and we’ve managed to get in a visit to the Kilsyth pool,
where my wife Meagan swam 14 laps (she has just joined a triathlon club)
and I splashed around with my daughter Sophie.
We’ve also made a concerted effort to go for walks as often as possible,
just around the local area pushing the pram - but that’s the great thing
about the 30-minute challenge, it all counts.
With Parliament sitting this week though, it’s going to be a real test to
try and get in some serious exercise.
The challenge has begun and more families are joining up every day, so keep
up and keep active!

Welcome to Nook!
I think you’ve met me… I’m in the Labor Party, Boronia Branch.
What is the active families challenge exactly? 30 minutes of exercise a day? It sounds interesting, and good on you for leading by example.
