Older residents at a Sleaford care home showed they still had the ‘eye of the tiger’ when they pulled on gloves to take part in a boxing fitness session last week.

The residents at Sleaford Manor Care Home on Waddington Road off London Road were treated to a visit by an instructor from Be Great Fitness on May 4.

The care home’s activities coordinator, Emma Yardley explained: “Bailey from Be Great Fitness came all the way from Grimsby to share with us his passion of boxing with our residents, it was brilliant and all those involved had a great session.

“He gave our residents a boxing workout.”

Pictured above are some of the residents joining in.
