Dad

My Dad had Parkinson's.  I watched it steal his life away because his doctors did not appreciate the extraordinary value of exercise in combating PD.  He didn't have anyone local who understood how important exercise is for fighting PD.

At his care facility, they were so worried about him falling that they didn't even let him stand up.  They never gave him a chance.  Over the next six years it slowly killed him.


Everyday, I see the struggles of exercising with Parkinson's.  Some days are good.   Some days are great!   Some days are not.  But every day is better when you have done your best to put up a good fight.

Trust me - This.  Stuff.   Works.

Join us and get in the fight.  You will not regret it. 

Parkinson's disease killed my dad. Exercise is what he needed to fight the disease.

I am a certified PWR! Instructor.

The PWR! (Parkinson's Wellness Recovery) Moves have been shown to help improve flexibility and mobility in the areas that are most affected by Parkinson's.

Each video includes PWR! Moves and exercises to help you warm up and maintain or improve your mobility and range of motion.

PD wants to make you small.

PWR! will help keep you BIG!!!

Strength

Direct Attack on PD

Strength

As we age our muscles shrink and deteriorate.  This impacts our balance and makes us more vulnerable to injury.  Regular strength training is essential to maintaining your muscle so that your body has the structure necessary to move and protect itself.

In the workouts we go through exercises that help you improve your functional strength to help you in your daily living.

BOXING!!

Flexibility and Mobility

Strength

Boxing is one of the greatest exercises for the entire body.  It is especially effective against the symptoms of Parkinson's.


I will walk you through boxing drills to help improve your speed, power, coordination and balance.  You get the benefits of boxing without getting punched in the head.

PUNCH me a message!

Flexibility and Mobility

Flexibility and Mobility

Flexibility and Mobility

One of the primary complaints of  people fighting PD is the loss of their flexibility and mobility in their joints -

 can't reach as high, open your hands as wide, stand up as tall. 

Every video includes flexibility and mobility exercises that target the key areas of the body most often impacted by PD.  Regularly moving each joint to its full range of motion will increase your mobility.

The Workouts

Exercises specifically designed to fight the symptoms of Parkinson's disease

Any exercise is good, but not all workouts are the same when it comes to fighting Parkinson's. 

With PD, it is move it or lose it.  Parkinson's will slowly creep in and take over your body.   You must constantly work to counteract it's insidious effects.

The Parkinson's Gym exercises have been shown to 

reduce the effects of PD on your body and slow the progress of PD in your brain.   


We  work on the stuff that PD effects the most:  

Mobility, Balance, Posture, Strength, Endurance, Flexibility

The workouts are thorough, interesting and even fun.  

But mainly, they are effective. 

THIS STUFF WORKS.
