The Movement Conservation Project by ASICS
Description
We’re born to move, but modern life means we’re moving less and less. New research from ASICS has revealed people are spending 86% of their waking day not moving, as our increasingly convenient habits quietly design movement out of everyday life. That’s why ASICS is hosting the Movement Conservation Area, to help keep movement part of our lives.
ASICS is hosting The Movement Conservation Area, four free 15-minute guided movement sessions held in a central Sydney CBD location on Thursday 8 October 2026, ahead of World Mental Health Day (10 October). Sessions run at 10:30am, 11:15am, 12:30pm and 2:10pm.
The activation forms part of ASICS' global Movement Conservation Project, responding to new research showing modern life is quietly designing movement out of our everyday lives. Because just 15 minutes of movement can help uplift our mental state, ASICS is encouraging Sydneysiders to step away from their desks and move their body, and their mind.
