Starting the new year well

Residents will be moving and grooving in January with our Zest physical activity sessions  

This month, we’re encouraging residents in all our care homes to take part in as many Zest virtual activity sessions as possible. A calendar with details of different Zest sessions has been distributed to all care locations and photos of residents enjoying the sessions will be posted on social media with the hashtag #ZestZone. The care home with the best pictures will win a prize – if any more motivation is needed to get involved! 

Zest is our accessible and fun physical activity programme. Sessions feature a mix of gentle moving and stretching, dance moves, mobility work and active routines. The aim is to improve physical health and mental wellbeing as being active even for just a couple of hours a week can encourage healthy ageing. 

If you are hoping to be more active this January, recordings of Zest sessions are posted on the Zest Wellbeing YouTube channel.  We’d love to see you enjoying the sessions, so share a photo of yourself in action online with the hashtag #ZestZone!
