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: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? ☕
Wellington’s identity is built on its cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. We’ve seen the headlines about recent closures, and it’s a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.
We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️
We want to know: How are you handling the "coffee math" in 2026? Are you still heading to your local for a chat and a caffeine fix, or has the cost of living changed your habits?
Keen to read more about "coffee math"? The Post has you covered.

🌉🛶 Early Birds Might Crack This One First… or Not? 🥚🧠
A person is crossing a bridge and sees a boat full of people, yet there isn't a single person on board.
How is this possible?
(Susan from Massey kindly provided this head-scratcher ... thanks, Susan!)

🪱🐦 When are you the most productive? 🌙🦉
The Post has been diving into our daily habits, and research suggests being an early bird or a night owl isn’t just a choice—it’s biology! We all have that specific time when our brains finally "click" into gear.
This raises a big question for the modern workplace. To get the best out of everyone, should employers accommodate our natural body clocks? This idea is at the heart of the four-day work week and flexible scheduling movements.
We want to hear from you:
1. When does your brain "click" into gear?
2. Would a flexible (or shortened) schedule change the way you work?
