Great new session for me and challenging !! Love finding new ways of addressing areas that are weaker than we know!! I love the music, it makes embracing my imperfections much easier and having my cheerleader in the background is awesome!! I’ll definitely be doing this one again!! Thanks again to PFP and Lauren. ❤👍👍

That was great foot work... but the amazing part of it was that the foot work was accomplished completely and comfortably seated. Worth repeating once a week to train our legs. Thanks Lauren and many thanks to PFP! Sudha from India

@laurenlewis6969 Ай бұрын

YES!!!! you get it! Don't be misled to believe you cant work hard seated - we do it every week and work really hard. I am so glad you felt the leg workout intended. Good for you. Thanks for sharing your comments

Hi there Sudha!! Thanks so much for your comment - we are so glad that you enjoyed the footwork in this class. We love the idea of repeating it once a week and think that will be so beneficial!! Keep up the great work!!

I'd love to have a few more videos specifically for hands. Exercises for dexterity that I can use throughout the day. Keep up the great work. I exercise with you 3 times a week .

@laurenlewis6969 Ай бұрын

Hi Michael - thank you for your support and for working so hard. Thank you for joining us 3 times a week - good for you . I'm sure you have already seen some good results. I appreciate your suggestion of adding more hand exercises. I will see if I can include some fine motor moves to assist you with your dexterity. I generally work with large muscle/gross motor moves but I can see about fine motor as well. Thank you!!

Thanks for your feedback Michael!! We will definitely see what we can do!!

Thank you Lauren! This was the exercise routine that had my name written all over it! My most problematic symptoms are the ones that affect my gait. This was definitely a challenge! Each section had a part that I could manage and a part that I needed a lot more focus and concentration! I don’t know how you do it Lauren, but the way you come up with something new to challenge us is amazing! I’ve been working out with PFP for over 2 years and it’s never felt repetitive or boring! It’s always FUN and a challenge!

Oh my goodness! This workout is fiendish!!!! I found it really challenging but pressed on anyway and slowly improved. Will need to do it many more times to get proficient. Thanks for challenging my brain Lauren.

Good for you Anthony - these exercises are specific to Parkinson's because they are directed at managing common symptoms however, that is not to say they are not good exercises for anyone whether you have PD or not. Thank you for sharing and keeping your community fit.

Sure Ann!! If you look further back in our library, you will see classes that are longer than 45 minutes!! We used to record classes that were closer to an hour if that is something you might be interested in!!

Woow what a great session. This one was great for Paula as she has the gait issues you mentioned at the start. We used small books in-stead of a cone. The exercises were tricky to start with but by the end Paula was just about mastering them (I was struggling!) Many thanks Paula and Jon

@laurenlewis6969 Ай бұрын

YAY for you Paula. This one actually got me sore for a few days after. My legs are not used to doing so much lateral motion so I know now it is something I should be working on more. hahahah I'm really glad Paula was successful by the end. It's good feeling right? Jon....keep practicing , you'll get it. 🤣 Thanks so much for your comments.

@PowerforParkinsons Ай бұрын

Oh good on you Paula and Jon!! It sounds like this workout really challenged the both of you!! We love that and always love to hear about how you experienced class so thank you for sharing :)

This is a great gait workout! Even though I don’t have PD, I always do these exercises with my husband to support him. I even had hard time in the beginning but got better toward the end. Thank you very much for all these excellent exercises. I am sure you put lots of time and effort to make them all different and interesting. We will continue use them to fight PD.

Hi, I’m Martha, I live in Indio, California this is the first time that I do a very, very challenging exercise! Needless to say that I struggled a bit! But, I won’t stop.

@laurenlewis6969 Ай бұрын

Hi Martha and welcome to our community. I am SO glad you found us and gave it a try. Yes - it is challenging but hopefully in a good way. These videos are meant to be practiced not just done once. The more you do them the more you will get out of them. You will become more mobile, your memory and brain function will strengthen and hopefully you will feel more energized. Let us know how you are progressing.

Hi Martha, thanks so much for your comment and connecting with us. We are cheering you on - keep at it, these classes are indeed challenging but so so rewarding!!

Thank you Lauren for a great exercise class. Very good class for me as I am a it slow now. I was singing up and down while I went for walk with my husband. I couldn’t do it as my husband is sleeping when I follow the classes around 11:00pm!

@laurenlewis6969 Ай бұрын

Thank you Grace - I love that you practice your singing even when not doing the class. Vocal strength can be done anywhere at any time. Stick with it and I bet you will be able to move more quickly too. Let me know

This is the second time round. First time I found the left leg part of the first exercise particularly challenging, but today, yay, I did it. I obviously need more arms and legs working in opposite way. Thanks again for the challenge.

@laurenlewis6969 Ай бұрын

YAY for you!!!! You see, when you practice you can get better and not just while doing the video it will have lasting effects in helping you be more mobile and improve your PD symptoms.

Its a cover of the Loggin's and Messina song "Your mama don't dance". Fun huh? I love this song and found it so motivating to workout to. Thanks for joining me. Hope you had as much fun as I did.
