You just have to do them!

I am a certified PWR! Instructor.

Act impressed.

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 .

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

One of the primary complaints of many 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.

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

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

Most of the exercise videos on the internet are either really short (3 or 4 exercises) or they are trying to sell you something (their book, DVD series or piece of equipment).  

The Parkinson's Gym workouts are complete workouts - warmup, workout, cool down and stretch.  And it is an on-going program.

The others only post a few exercises at a time and are only like 7 minutes long.  This is fine for but you can only do the same 4 exercises for so long before you give up out of shear boredom.

Not so for The Parkinson's Gym - I am coming up with new stuff all the time!  

Tons of workouts to choose from.  Each one is a complete workout from warm-up to stretch. 

If your device can play YouTube videos, it will work for The Parkinson's Gym.

Laptop, PC, tablet, phone, jumbotron.

Some people like to hook their computer up to the TV so they can play it on a big screen.  That works great!

Nope.

The workouts are specifically designed for people with Parkinson's.  But that doesn't mean that other people can't benefit from them too.

There are not many people that could not benefit from a little more exercise.

But, these exercises have only been proven to help people with Parkinson's disease.  So, talk to your doctor before you launch into any exercise program.

Not normally.   

You can do whichever workout you like.  I post a new one every week.  You can try that one our or do your favorites.

If you want some help finding a workout that will fit your best, just give me a call and I can help you find a good one for you!

The only exception is the Start-up series.  I designed those to be done in order.  They gradually get a little harder and I take a little more time introducing each exercise.

There isn't one.

I just want you to exercise and feel better.

My dad did not have any one local who knew what kinds of exercises to do for people with Parkinson's.   So, he did his best on his own but it just wasn't enough.  He needed someone to help and encourage him through the appropriate exercises at the necessary intensity.

The Parkinson's Gym is my way of bringing the exercise program to you, no matter where you are..

No problem.

I demonstrate a lower intensity or lower impact version of each major exercise.

Just keep working on it and one day you might surprise yourself and be able to do the stuff you couldn't before.

You may find that some of the workouts are a little more than you can do or that they are too easy.   That is on purpose.  There is a huge variety symptoms and severity represented in our members.   And, we all have good days and bad days.

I describe each workout to help you select an appropriate level depending on how you feel and what you want to work on.
