Join Judy Bjornson for this Parkinson’s Specific Exercise Program.
Exercises Recommended for Parkinson’s:
- Aerobic Exercise:
- Boxing: Non-contact boxing is highly recommended for improving agility, speed, and cognitive function.
- Strength Training: Using weights or resistance bands to build muscle, which helps with functional movements.
- Flexibility & Balance: to reduce fall risks.
- PWR!Moves (Parkinson Wellness Recovery): Specific, large-amplitude movements designed to counteract the “small” movements caused by PD, such as “power up” squats and reaches.
- Cognitive Integration: Combining exercise with cognitive tasks, such as counting backward while doing side taps.
