โ๏ธ What a scorcher of a World Cup party at Maynell and Foxgrove this afternoon! ๐ฌ๐งโฝ
Our legendary trainer turned the afternoon into a full-on FitWord spectacular โ part brain workout, part body blast, with written and visual clues and enough football banter to keep everyone grinning. We even had a World Cup anthem playlist that kicked off in absolute style with Right Said Fredโs โStand Up for the Champions.โ Nothing says โweโre taking this seriouslyโ like a bit of cheeky Fred energy!.
The sun was blazing and the humidity was real, so we wisely parked the cardio and went heavy on strength, mobility and flexibility instead. Basically, we trained like smart athletes who also enjoy not melting.
We debated the three nationsโ mascots (some very strong opinions were shared), answered proper historical World Cup trivia, and kept the vibes high right until afternoon tea arrived like the true MVP of the day.
Laughter, movement, music, cakeโฆ and not a single yellow card in sight.
Days like this remind us why we love what we do. Feeling grateful, energised, and already looking forward to the next one! ๐ชโค๏ธ

๐ What an absolute blast at Valentine House today!.
Our trainer brought the energy with FitHoy and these wonderful residents went full superstar mode! ๐๐บ We had cardio that got everyone moving, a full house (or two!) of laughter, and plenty of singing along to the music.
We worked on flexibility, strength, mobility & balance โ and of course the sensory balls came out to play. The concentration (and comedy!) while balancing those spiky little things on their heads was pure gold! ๐ Who knew circulation could be this much fun?.
After working up an appetite, it was straight to the traditional Friday fish & chips with tartare sauce โ well earned and thoroughly enjoyed!.
These legends are proof that youโre never too young (or too fabulous) to get your move on! โค๏ธ
Huge thanks to all the residents for bringing the smiles and the vibes. Canโt wait for next week! FitWord- World Cup 2026

๐จ Match Day Report from Maitland House @blackswancare ! โฝ
The 2026 World Cup kicked off this morning and so did our FitWord session! Residents came dressed like pros, our trainer rocked the full football kit, and the energy was pure Champions League. We had Trionda the ball, the three host mascots, and even Pickles the legendary 1966 dog on the big screen.
Some of the residents were singing, most of us were sweating, and zero red cards were issued.
Full time? Proper beef casserole.
Best group stage performance weโve ever had. 10/10. Would qualify again. #WorldCup2026 #MaitlandHouse #BlackSwanCares #FitWord

Had a fantastic FitWord session at Maitland House today celebrating Chinese New Year! ๐๐ฎ
The group was super active, full of energy and everyone learned so much โ from traditions and food to the zodiac & legends. Love these knowledgeable & lively discussions! โจ

@GRIDSERVE_HQ Braintree is there a remote possibility that the 90kw charges can serviced. They connect for a short period and then disconnect. Very frustrating.
@AldiUK Why doesnโt Ipswich Hines Road stock Espresso rtd coffee. It has loads of cappuccino rtd but has never stock the espresso. Most stores have a combination of the two on one tray. Hines Road just has all cappuccino trays.
Thank you Sunrise Nursing Home for another brilliant session! Your residents absolutely smashed the exercises and brought their A-game to Fit Bingo ๐ So much laughter and energy in the room today. And wow โ those handmade earrings are the best surprise ever! Feeling very spoilt ๐๐ Whoโs ready for round two next time?!
