“I'm increasing my steps weekly on the walking football exercises and am finding the weekly meetings fun and enjoyable” @AnchorLaterLife @Stulangworthy @thewfauk

[Anchor Be Active @AnchorBeactive]

“I love the incentive that comes from being part of Walking football. The quizzes set by Stuart are really great - he is helping both physically and mentally. I love being part of the team. I am not very chatty - more of a listener!” @AnchorLaterLife @Stulangworthy @thewfauk

[Anchor Be Active @AnchorBeactive]

“For me, I find Walking Football has positive benefits. The agility tasks allow me to focus on them throughout the day, especially when I’ve been sitting down for too long. It forces me to get up and move for a few minutes. I already feel fitter and move better” @AnchorLaterLife
