A FAMOUS face dropped in on care home residents to lead them in an exercise routine.
Staff and residents at Newlands in Workington were treated to an armchair workout courtesy of the so-called Green Goddess, Diana Moran.
Diana rose to fame as a glamorous fitness guru on BBC Breakfast Time in the 1980s, and now works with furniture company Shackletons as their health and wellness adviser.
Diana said: “Even if we spend more time sitting than walking, we can still maintain wellbeing at any age if we sit with the proper support, posture, correct height and balance in our chairs.”
Following the session the residents took part in a mindfulness session led by Shackleton’s Emma Raybould.
General Manager, Kim Whelan, said: “Our residents all remember the Green Goddess from Breakfast TV in the 80s so they really enjoyed seeing her on screen. The mindfulness session was the perfect way to relax afterwards.”
