Seated PD Workout to Improve Coordination and Cognition

[@mosheofer]

Lauren, very good session and not too difficult. The hard part was the spelling, since English is not my mother's tongue. Some statistics. My English is not too bad due to my profession (computers), 78 years old, have PD probably close to 10 years, but diagnosed about 5 years ago (doctors). Exercise most of the time with PfP, since you guys are the best. For good intensive walking I use Improved Health site to walk in place at home. Reason, it's impossible walk good outside in the city with a rollator and the hot weather. That's all, folks.

Hey there Moshe, thanks for sharing!! Spelling while exercising really can be quite intense can't it?! Thanks for telling us about your current exercise routine as well - it sounds like you are moving well and taking great care of yourself. Keep it up friend!!

[@emelitago6892]

Thank you for the exercise. It was a challenge to do both hands and feet but I was able to follow. Watching from Carson California

[@PowerforParkinsons]

Hi Emelita!! Thanks so much for your comment. It's great to know that you are joining us from Carson. Thanks for all of your efforts - this class was indeed a challenging one but we are glad you enjoyed it!!

[@laurenlewis6969]

Hello Emelita - thank you for your comments and for joining us from California. I'm glad you were challenged and yet stayed with it. Good for you - keep up the good work.

Thank you, Lauren, from Holland Michigan. This was challenging (for me, the hardest part was switching sides after the kicks), but you made it easy/easier to follow. We both appreciated your explanations about why you included each part. ❤

[@PowerforParkinsons]

Thanks so much for your comment friends!! It's great to know that you enjoyed the challenges of this class. It's a lot more motivating when you know the 'why' behind each exercise isn't it?! Thanks for joining us

[@Heidi-vk3rm]

Great class, Lauren! Liked the 'Out in kick, out in opposite' exercise and the 'jacks, jacks with scissor arms' combo. Kept me on my toes! Keep up the FUN classes.

[@PowerforParkinsons]

We sure will Heidi!! It's great to have you back exercising with us friend!! :)

[@laurenlewis6969]

Heidi - I'm really happy you enjoyed that sequence of movements. I found them kind of tricky when I was putting it together and was wondering if anyone else found them tricky too. :)

[@JonDiaper]

As you said Lauren this really got the brain working hard! Great fun. It is one we will have to do again as we struggled a bit on some of the exercises. Loving the back-drop photos. Are they all of Austin.? I thought one looked like a street in London. Many thanks Paula and Jon

[@laurenlewis6969]

Hi Jon and Paula - so nice as always to hear from you and know you are giving it your all. Good for you. Most of the pictures are of Austin. I'm in charge of the moving, Josh is in charge of the back drop. He does a great job dont you think?

[@PowerforParkinsons]

Hi Paula and Jon!! Great to hear from you and know that this class got your brain working hard!! We love hearing from you so please keep sharing your experiences with us!!

[@dennisschultz2158]

I found it very difficult to do all the exercises together. I will have to work on it.

[@DavidFerrier-Williams]

Great. Hardest part was John Travolta opposites after same side, but managed by the end - good cognitive workout. Thanks.

[@PowerforParkinsons]

Haha, yes that was tricky wasn't it David!! Thanks so much for joining us!!

[@laurenlewis6969]

David - thanks for your comments. Yes, using opposite limbs in opposite directions can be very confusing but it strengthens the ability to move contralaterally which is a better and safer way to move. keep up the good work.

[@joleannwhittet5459]

I enjoyed the “brain twister “ thank you 😊

[@PowerforParkinsons]

Haha, that is so great to hear Joleann!!

[@tehsb5337]

[@PowerforParkinsons]

[@laurenlewis6969]

Wow - good for you. This is a quick pace so I am impressed you feel comfortable working at this pace. Good for you. Keep up the good work.

[@PowerforParkinsons]

So good to hear Georgina!! Thanks so much for joining us from London!!

[@laurenlewis6969]

Hi Georgina - thanks for joining us from London. I'm actually glad I was able to challenge you. I don't want you to just jump in and follow this class. I want you to have to think, concentrate and practice. That's how you really strengthen your brain and body. Keep up the good work.

[@anthonybarberio4553]

Thank you 'Anthony - I am so pleased you find my videos helpful for your population as well. It's all about moving regardless of your limitations or strengths.

[@jeannenicolato]

I will repeat this video so that I get the hang of it. Very good to practice coordination with memory.

[@PowerforParkinsons]

Hi Jeanne!! Good on you for already planning to repeat this class, the repetition of the exercises really is so beneficial for both your mind and body!! Keep up the great work friend - we are cheering you on :)

[@laurenlewis6969]

Yes Jeanne - this one requires a lot of repetition to get it. Thats part of learning and strengthening the brain. I am so glad you are sticking with it. You will see, it will get easier with time. Keep me posted.
