We made sure to stop and have a quick drink break to refuel, as we had worked up quite a sweat!<\/p>\n<p><em>Our residents all said how much they enjoyed this class and look forward to Clubbercise again next month.<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Octaband<\/h2>\n<p>After some research, <strong>we&#8217;ve invested in an Octaband here at Woodstock. This is a brightly coloured, stretchy piece of material that has been designed with Dementia in mind<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>To put it to the test, we all sat in a circle and held either one or two of the &#8216;legs&#8217; of the Octaband and then took part in a variety of moves including pulling it close to us to <strong>promote muscle use<\/strong> and lifting it up high and down low to <strong>encourage movement<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>We created a <strong>Mexican wave<\/strong> and went around the circle lifting each leg in turn and also put a ball in the middle of it and tried our best to balance it in the centre whilst shaking the stretchy legs side to side.<\/p>\n<p>Our Octaband was then swapped for a <strong>parachute<\/strong> and we continued with exercise movements including lifting it up high and waving to each other underneath it! We finished off our session trying to fling the ball as high in the air as possible \u2013 this was a great way for us to all use different muscles and really get moving. <em>Great fun!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_262458\" style=\"width: 1210px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-262458\" class=\"wp-image-262458 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/woodstock.nellsar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/woodstock-clubbercise-octaband-290224-1.jpg\" alt=\"Trying out our new Octaband at Woodstock Residential Care Home\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/woodstock.nellsar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/woodstock-clubbercise-octaband-290224-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/woodstock.nellsar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/woodstock-clubbercise-octaband-290224-1-980x653.jpg 980w, https:\/\/woodstock.nellsar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/woodstock-clubbercise-octaband-290224-1-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1200px, 100vw\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-262458\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Trying out our new Octaband<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Clubbercise with Kelly Our ladies and gents at Woodstock Residential Care Home were able to take part in a new class this week \u2013 Clubbercise with Kelly.
