If you have Parkinson’s disease, Rock Steady Boxing may delay the progression of your symptoms and help you live more independently. This noncontact, boxing-inspired fitness routine improves reaction time, strength, balance and flexibility. Workouts include focus mitts, heavy bags, speed bags, jump rope, core work, calisthenics and circuit weight training. You’ll enjoy camaraderie with your peers and a trainer who’s familiar with movement disorders. Additionally, the occasional group trip to the rock climbing walls!
No boxing experience? No problem. Men and women of all ages are welcome. Classes accommodate varying fitness levels and degrees of Parkinson’s disease. Call 870.207.7700 to set up an assessment.
If you have a chronic condition, improve your energy and strength by taking part in a supervised exercise and education program. Ask your doctor for a referral to cancer and medical rehabilitation or cardiac rehabilitation. We tailor the program to your needs to help you achieve the best possible results.
