It Feels Like a Snow Day!

After waking up at 6 this morning to help shovel my parents out of the driveway I have decided today is a hot coco, warm shower, curl up with a book kind of day. Which really means it’s an update everyone on Parkinsons Fitness kind of day.

Other than snuggling under the covers today we are extending invitations to prospective board members and fine tuning our program. We have added agility ladder work and plan on doing more fun obstacle courses and games for next week.

Stay happy and healthy,

Hi Everyone,

   We’ve been MIA from the internet for about a month but for a good reason. Julia has become a certified fitness instructor and has shown us some great new moves. Keith has gone to speak with PT classes about having Parkinson’s and has continued to come up with new great ideas for our future. Linda has been studying up for her certification and is getting potential board members in line. We also have some promising new classes that will be starting in January!

We met so many people it was truly an amazing experience. Everyone there was so helpful and encouraging. We sat in on some wonderful workshops that focused on different aspects of Parkinson’s and lectures to see what science is doing to assist Parkinson’s patients. The one thing we noticed most was that exercise is the right direction. Working out is key to slowing down the disease and you can’t be doing just 15 minutes of walking a day, you have to be pushing yourself and your body to the limit in order to maintain your facilities. Working out early in diagnosis helps maintain a better quality of life for longer. Medicine and physical assistance can only get you so far, without eating well and taking care of your body you are on a downward slope.

New! Monthly Workouts

We are introducing a new idea! We are going to start posting monthly workout schedules that can be done at home with limited equipment. These will come out a couple days before the first of each month and its a great way for PD patients to stay on top of their fitness, even when they can’t leave home. If you have any questions about the exercises we will set up a way for you to reach us and we can then assist you with whatever you need. If anyone has any suggestions about how what they want to see in this document please feel free to leave us a comment and let us know!
