Parkinson's Exercise

Parkinson's Excersize

The importance of exercise and physical activity for people diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease (PD) has been well documented.

Exercise produces many benefits including increased physical functioning (motor performance, strength, endurance), improved gait and balance, cardiovascular fitness, and overall better quality of life. Great strides are being made to make exercise a part of the standard treatment of PD.

Nordic Walking

Nordic Walking

Nordic walking is an exercise using ergonomic poles that uses the same movements. It is unparalleled as an aerobic exercise because the body is being strengthened not only in the muscle groups of the legs and hips, but also the shoulders, core, and arm muscle groups. The regimen lowers blood pressure and improves the body’s use of oxygen. When traversing hills or uneven ground, it is strengthening the ankles and challenging your vestibular system- a sensory system in the inner ear that enhances balance and coordination.

This class meets, when the weather permits, on Wednesdays at 3 PM with Doreen Rakowski.

Please meet Doreen in the Lantz Lounge.

It is an outside course that involves walking on the levy.

Chair Yoga

Improved flexibility, relieving stiffness, strengthening the body, and a happy mental state are a few of the benefits that chair yoga can provide.
 
You’ll get increased range of motion through holding postures on a chair and standing with the chair as support.  Our pranayamas (breathing exercises) will assist in reducing anxiety.  Chair yoga helps with body alignment and stabilization.  It stimulates physical and mental well-being.
 
It is a great form of yoga for beginners or anyone who wants to focus on a gentle practice without all of the ups and downs of a regular yoga class.  It can be practiced by anyone, anywhere, in any chair.  
 
No previous experience is required.  The exercises are easy to master, and adaptations are shown.

Pilates

Based on the works of Joseph Pilates, our mat pilates class will help improve general fitness and over-all well-being by concentrating on strengthening the core (belly, back, and butt).  Posture, balance, and flexibility are improved.

Pilates also focuses on the mind-body connection.  While doing various pilates exercises, your mind needs to be aware of your breathing and the way the body moves. Because pilates can be modified to provide either a gentle strength training program or a challenging workout, it is suitable for beginners as well as people who exercise regularly. We’ll provide the mats as well as light hand weights and therabands when needed.
