Boxing with Doug (Level 2) - Session 1

Описание: Join Doug Pickard, Run Fluid Fitness boxing instructor, who will lead a six-week fitness boxing class for Parkinson’s.

Persons living with Parkinson’s will experience a total workout for both their mind and body as it incorporates cardio, strength, balance, hand-eye coordination, and speed! Common non-motor symptoms such as anxiety and depression may also be alleviated through boxing and exercise.

Boxing is a fitness program dedicated to supporting people with Parkinson’s. In a PD boxing class, exercises are largely adapted from boxing drills. Boxers condition for optimal agility, speed, muscular endurance, accuracy, hand-eye coordination, footwork, and overall strength. Exercises vary in purpose and form, but share one common trait: they are rigorous and intended to extend the perceived capabilities of the participant.

Level 2: Moderately-paced and moderate-intensity class. Suitable for those who are looking for a progression from Level 1.
