Come play Walking Football - the latest fitness craze
What is Walking Football?
Simply put Walking Football is a slower paced version of football (soccer) played on a small sized field where you can only walk. There is no running or jogging. It is great for cardiovascular exercise and muscle & joint mobility. This format of the beautiful game is great for the 50+ age group who want a way to keep active and social or for those with injuries looking for a low impact, minimal contact sport to play.
Very successful in the UK, Walking Football has been around for about 7 years and is now played in over 26 countries around the world and now it has arrived here in New Zealand. Dreaming Tuataras Walking Football Club launched in Wellington last week.
It’s never too late to get started on a more active lifestyle. You do not have to be sporty or fit or ever kicked a football before, to join walking football and everybody has a laugh, it’s what we call a social sport. Age is no barrier
Research has shown leading an active lifestyle can add six-years of life expectancy for a man and five-years for a woman, and it’s never too late to get started.
All you need to wear is comfortable clothing and sneakers and bring some water.
Sessions are played indoors in the Green Room gym at The Hub, Toitu Poneke, Kilbirnie Crescent, Kilbirnie on Mondays at 12 noon and Tuesdays at 6pm. We would love you to come and join us. We are offering free sessions through December and January.

Poll: Should drivers retake the theory test every 10 years?
Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).
Do you think drivers should be required to take a quick driving theory test every 10 years?
Vote in the poll and share any road rules that you've seen bent! 😱
