WHY ROCK STEADY:
PD is a brain disorder characterized by inflammation and loss of dopamine-making neurons. Studies show high-intensity interval training (HIIT) can help in the reduction of inflammation and spark neuroplasticity.
With a non-contact Rock Steady Boxing program, high-intensity movement, coordination, and cognitive engagement are blended. The combination of footwork, punching combinations, and conditioning can uniquely help people with Parkinson’s improve balance, strength, and confidence. Just as a pro boxer trains to improve hand/eye coordination, speed of movement, flexibility, optimal balance, core strength, and agility……… these skills are used to combat the symptoms of PD!
In 2006, internationally recognized, Rock Steady Boxing, was founded. With over 800 affiliates throughout the world, thousands are able to face their opponent of Parkinson’s disease and FIGHT BACK in a safe and fun way, amongst friends!
