[@jenniek-xk9it]

Really enjoyed the exercises : the variety and reassurance that if we missed the changes that it would come in time and with perseverance. This was our first time and we will return. Thanks, Lauren.

[@PowerforParkinsons]

That is wonderful to hear Heang!! Thank you so much for sharing and well done you for staying with this class all the way to the end!!

[@kitkat20221]

Tough at the beginning but becomes easier once you watch it a few times and your muscles start building up. Thank you for the great video.

[@PowerforParkinsons]

Hi friend, thanks so much for sharing your experience!! We are glad that you had fun with this class and that it became easier with time. Thanks for joining us and have fun exploring the other classes on our channel :)

[@bradfordkitchens3728]

Working on cognitive (executive skills) is one of the features that sets you and your team apart. Focusing on dexterity of fingers is brilliant. Before class I was unable to keep my left hand's, pinky, ring, middle fingers were jumping off the keyboard. Now, I am typing away. Alas, I must also give my medication a thumbs up. I will do my best to schedule around your classes at 11:00a CT thanks again for sending out the survey for preference of start times.

[@laurenlewis6969]

Thank you so much Bradford! I am really glad you found this helpful. Keep with it - practice this a few times a week. I'm sure you will find it really helps. Thanks so much for your comments and input. I look forward to hearing them.

[@PowerforParkinsons]

Bradford, so good to hear from you! With your extensive experience in fitness, your comments mean so much. They say exercise is medicine for PD and you are getting your daily dose!!

[@eduardogong]

Very inspiring! A " must " exercise for any neurological movement disorders, I find them beneficial and much improvements after couple of times of practice. Great job Lauren! a big 5 to you!👋

[@PowerforParkinsons]

Hi Eddy, thanks so much for your wonderful comment. We are so glad you find these classes beneficial and feel improvement as a result of doing them. We offer these classes for that very reason and are so glad you found us!!

[@NancySteinle]

[@PowerforParkinsons]

Glad to hear you love the music choices. A big thank you for your hard work!

[@AnnaBell-x8u]

Just discovered this video today and gave it my best shot! Great for brain and body. Thanks Lauren.

[@PowerforParkinsons]

Thanks so much for joining us friend!! We are so glad that you gave this class your best shot and hope that you really felt the benefits from it!!

[@ritaharris2125]

What a workout! You can do a lot in the seated position! Thanks, Lauren!

[@PowerforParkinsons]

Thanks so much for joining us Rita!! It really is amazing how much you can accomplish in a seated position isn't it?!

[@pattirossiter1065]

Music was great, too. 🌺

[@PowerforParkinsons]

Yay Patti!! We are so glad you enjoyed exercising to this upbeat music!!

[@szarvasjozsef58]

I'm getting well from stroke, I love it

[@PowerforParkinsons]

Oh that is great to hear friend. Thank you for joining us!!

[@pattirossiter1065]

Good morning, Lauren. Exercise was great. Tremor is my biggest complaint, so this was good. 🌺

[@PowerforParkinsons]

Thanks for your comment Patti, it's so great to know that this class targeted your biggest concern. Perhaps it will be one that you can revisit frequently!!

[@laurenlewis6969]

Thanks for your comments Patti - I have heard from a number of people that these exercises really help them. I hope you find them beneficial. So glad you enjoyed the music. Hard to not love the Stones right?

[@karonfenton9833]

This was hard on our brains! (And we thank you.) But we got better each time. On our 5th time, we did much better. 🤗 We will keep coming back to this one, for sure. Sometimes, we don’t feel like exercising. Then we ask ourselves, “ If Lauren is willing to come to our home today, then why can’t we show up, too?”. Thank You, Lauren! 💞 Chuck and Karon

[@kostikasterjo9386]

Pĺlĺl⁸😅

[@PowerforParkinsons]

Wow, 5 repetitions Karon and Chuck!! That is absolutely amazing!! We just love your drive and enthusiasm when it comes to exercising with PFP!! Thank you for being such a wonderful part of our community :)

[@HelgeNelson-di3gd]

Challenging exercises. Need to do again. Thank you

[@PowerforParkinsons]

Practice makes Better is one of our PFP mottos so we hope you have fun repeating this class!!

[@marcelstrigberger2058]

Enjoyable and beneficial Lauren. Until now I thought I could make an L and a J

[@PowerforParkinsons]

Great to hear that you enjoyed this class Marcel!! That makes us so happy to hear!!

[@laurenlewis6969]

Hahahaha I know what you mean Marcel - getting those arms up and out and completely straight and in each direction can be challenging. My favorite challenge was alternating switching the five fingers and one finger, that one took me a few tries.

[@freneticattic6064]

i love it! thank you so much! i was getting depressed with aggravation of symptoms and this gives hope

[@PowerforParkinsons]

Hello friend, that is so wonderful to hear. Please know that the PFP team is here to support you and we hope you enjoy exercising with us!!

[@spencerstucki4567]

Thanks Lauren

[@PowerforParkinsons]

Thanks for joining us Spencer!!

[@mosheofer]

Lauren, very helpful and definately not easy. Thanks!

[@PowerforParkinsons]

Moshe, thanks for joining this exercise and leaving us a comment. I'm so glad this video was helpful! I don't think that the word "easy" is even in Lauren's vocabulary!!!

[@mosheofer]

@@PowerforParkinsons Absolutely agree regarding Lauren. She is all energy and innovetive. I an sweating like a bear in Africa.

[@anaghanig]

Yay! Completely new! Hats off to you and your team!! These exercises get the improvements in days if you do them regularly! I must say that! Thank you Lauren!💜

[@PowerforParkinsons]

Hi Anagha, Welcome to our channel and our community! It is incredible to hear that you are noticing improvements from doing these videos, that's why we're here!!! Please keep coming back, we are so glad that you found us!💜

[@laurenlewis6969]

Thank you Anagha for your wonderful comments. I am so happy you are finding these exercises beneficial - they key is to do them regularly, build new neuropathways so these movements can be strong and help make your symptoms more manageable.

[@thankgodimouttahere]

These exercises are helping my arms and hand shaking.

[@PowerforParkinsons]

That is amazing to hear!! We are so glad you enjoyed this class friend!!

[@ninethrego4227]

God bless you abundantly

Fun exercise and I’m from Staten Island, New York

So great to hear from you and know that you had fun with this class :)

[@estherdeligny5299]

YAAAAY! Thanks Lauren 👍 👍👍 Great workout! I ❤️ the new moves.

[@laurenlewis6969]

I got really inspired when I decided to include fine motor in this weeks workout. So happy you enjoyed the new moves. 👌

[@PowerforParkinsons]

Thanks for joining the exercise and leaving us a comment, Esther! It is so great how Lauren always keeps things fresh and exciting!!!

[@DorisWalker-md9sf]

great workout, thks Lauren

[@PowerforParkinsons]

Glad you liked it!! Hope we see you again soon!

[@jarmilazahornadska5467]

Challenging workout! Thank you very much, Lauren

[@laurenlewis6969]

Yes Jarmila - this one took some thought and concentration. I worked on switching from 5 fingers to 1 a number of times before I got it. Keep up the good work - keep practicing and let me know how you are doing.

[@jarmilazahornadska5467]

@@laurenlewis6969 I repeated the exercise today. It's great that I can practice from the recording when I have time.

[@PowerforParkinsons]

I completely agree! This one requires some repetition.

[@dianekashy9314]

I like the patterns you come up with.

[@PowerforParkinsons]

Hey Diane, thanks for being here and leaving us your feedback. Lauren is so creative- it's great to hear that you are enjoying the creative patterns!!

[@dionesilva9295]

Thank you❤

[@PowerforParkinsons]

You're welcome 😊

[@annnguyen1877]

Thanks! I done it!

[@PowerforParkinsons]

Well done!! Keep up the great work Ann!!

[@jenniferjoy7605]

Thank you My hands have tremors. I have GVHD and many complications. I appreciate your exercises.

[@PowerforParkinsons]

Hi Jennifer, thank you so much for sharing a bit more about yourself with us. We are hopeful that our exercises can support you as you navigate your various symptoms and look forward to hearing from you again soon!! Take good care in the meantime :)

[@Dulce2806]

Hello Lauren!! What a fantastic class but I only managed to do half of it. I have a lot of joint pain. I finish later... I promise. Thanks Lauren for the strength. Big hug from Portugal 🇵🇹

[@PowerforParkinsons]

Don't be too hard on yourself, Dulce! This is an excellent video to return to when your pain lessens. Feel better!

[@laurenlewis6969]

Dulce - exercise is cumulative. You dont have to do it all in the same sitting or all at once to get the benefits. 10 minutes here, 20 minutes later, maybe another 10 minutes after that, all add up. You will find if you go gradually and add just a few more minutes a day you will improve your stamina. It will take time and thats just fine! 😀

[@JonDiaper]

Great session Lauren. Lots of variety. I really had to concentrate which was good for me. When you talk about bent elbows that is a problem I have but I am working on this. Many thanks Paula and Jon

[@PowerforParkinsons]

Lauren really pushed everyone with this video. This is one that is good to revisit periodically. The bent elbows is part of PD and always good to have the reminder to extend your arms for bigger moves! Thanks for leaving another insightful comment!!

[@laurenlewis6969]

Thanks Jon - I like that you had to concentrate. It tells me you are really working and not allowing yourself to go into "automatic". Realizing your are not stretching your arms or legs to their full range of motion is important. Keep working on really extending. It will help with strength and stride.

[@LindaCochran-j6c]

A great workout with lots of movements and patterns. I like that vocals were included as well as hand movements for tremors! Thank you, Lauren, so much for the instruction. Are there exercises to help with my left leg leg tremor? I haven't been using the site too long, but so far, I find it a great resource!!

[@PowerforParkinsons]

Linda, thank you for your comment and for raising an important question. We do not have a specific video for leg tremors but any time you do exercises that involve your legs and cardio or high intensity exercise you should notice at least some temporary relief. If you have any trouble finding those videos we are happy to help. Keep us posted on your progress!

[@heangsuysiek265]

Thank you very much, Lauren for the exercise. I worked really hard to keep up with you! A little confusing at the beginning, I guess I need more practice. However, I had lots of fun with the exercise! ❤❤❤

[@PowerforParkinsons]

Keep up the great work Heang and keep on practicing!! Having fun is the most important thing - and you are doing so well, we see your commitment and dedication!!

[@NancySteinle]

😊😊😊👍👍👍🥰Thank you so much ❤

[@PowerforParkinsons]

Thank you! Keep up the hard work!

[@ericflores8239]

Phew!😅 Felt the cardio and the fun! I thought I’d have trouble with the knees and arm crosses or the jacks but actually the most challenging part was the marching while going through the finger touches! I laughed at myself as I struggled at first because in my mind it should have been easy! Surprise challenge! Thanks for a fun and creative workout!

[@PowerforParkinsons]

Eric- We love hearing from you!! It's lovely to hear that you were able to laugh your way through the most challenging parts- it's all about doing your best, and having fun doing it!!

[@laurenlewis6969]

Great job Eric - Isnt it funny the things that look or seem the easiest are sometimes the most challenging. I know some of the fine motor work in this video can take some time to master. Keep with it and I know you will get better and better with it.

[@marcelstrigberger2058]

great session...need more on tremours. I take it this class will end our hand tremours for good (of course)... By the have you any classes on jaw tremours?

[@PowerforParkinsons]

Hi Marcel, thank you so much for your feedback. We will definitely include more classes that target tremors. We don't currently have classes specifically on jaw tremors but will add that to our list of class plans!!
