Fantastic workout with my clients with Parkinson!

Dang! Mom and I just did this one. It was tough! We have been doing Power for Parkinson's the last few weeks. We wanted to try a 15 min workout and this one popped up on the search. I didn't know PF did these videos so that was a pleasant surprise. She has Parkinson's and the pace was a bit fast, but she modified as needed. It was a challenge for me to keep up with this pace myself. We liked the quick start getting right into the warm-up. Keep them coming! 🙂

Fine exercise

[@marcelbouffard6285]

The exercises are too fast for most people with Parkinson's. Bradykinesia is likely to make it impossible to follow the tempo. I am afraid this may discourage people.

I agree, this feels a bit fast for my mother with Parkinson's. I go to the settings and slow down the video playback speed sometimes, then turn off the sound and just go on visuals
