Wow that was a lot of fun!! Loved the fun background & music you chose. The workout routine was a nice challenge! I will be revisiting this video again later thank you for all you do 😊
Thanks so much Joleann!! So good to know that you enjoyed this workout and had fun with the music!!
Great workout. I was able to keep up with you for the whole class, but movements that would have been easy a year ago are now a challenge, due to coordination and range of motion issues. But I intend to keep at it. Love P4P videos!
Hi Cathy!! Please do keep at it!! It sounds like you are doing really well and we love hearing you sound so motivated. Great that you were able to keep up with class and we hope that with more practice perhaps some of the coordination and range of motion exercises may become a little easier.
Loved the behind the scenes footage!
We are so glad Laura!!
Ann from Canada!Thanks
Thanks for checking in Ann!!

Love the variety of the standing exercises. Saying Hi! From Minnesota.
Hi right back to you Laura!! Great to have you with us!!
Great workout Polly. I am Lila joining from Melbourne Australia. Thank you. I follow these workouts twice a day. ❤

What a wonderful habit to have created Rama!! That is great to hear!! Keep up your wonderful efforts friend!!
Thank you very much, Polly and Cooper !!!
Ahoj Jarmila!! Thank you so much for your comment, we always love hearing from you!!
❤
Thanks for watching this video!!
Thank you Lauren! It is very important session. I had a major problem with the ball. It was constantly slipping from hands. I was chasing after all over the room and returning the playback, instead concentrating on the exercises. Getting very upset and using not nice expressions. Until my wife came to the rescue. She told me to wet the fingers. It resolved the problem immediately. Simple like the story about Columbus egg.
Hi Moshe, we are so glad that your wife came to your rescue!! We smiled at your comparison to the egg of Columbus!! Thank you for that friend :) Keep moving and we look forward to hearing from you again soon!!
Great session Polly. We liked the co-ordination (head, leg. foot, leg) exercise. It is great as it works a lot of things all at once. Also good to try and do it faster. Many thanks Paula and Jon
Thanks so much for your feedback Paula and Jon, it is always so wonderful to hear from you!! Wishing you a wonderful week of exercise ahead!!
As a fellow Parky - good luck to you Sir.
Thanks so much for your comment Mike!!
I am grateful to Powers for Parkinsons for the great exercises in your channel. Also grateful that those exercises help me to be positive in moving forward. I enjoy them everyday.
Oh what a lovely comment to receive, thank you for sharing friend. We are so glad our exercises support you in keeping positive and staying active. Keep up the great work!!
Where can I buy the Next Drive as I am living outside the Sydney / Australia I have the freezing whenever at home or go out. The most dangerous place is walking on the roads to cross the traffic light
Hi friend, thanks so much for your comment. Unfortunately it doesn't seem like next stride is available in Australia at this stage. Perhaps you can talk to your movement disorder specialist about other options to support you when you are walking?
Hello Polly,I did exercises again n I enjoyed every bit of it.u r very sweet n teach us in a very happy n beautiful way,do it fm my heart.Thank u Polly n love to Cooper.❤❤❤❤
Cooper sends you a big hug back Rama!! We are glad you enjoyed all of these exercises!! See you again soon :)
An early bird Jennifer
Hey there Jennifer!!
Lauren Kelly from Sydney Australia winter here and 25 degrees Celsius today. That makes me feel good but to top it off so did your class today. I absolutely loved it I used wooden spoons but I couldn’t tap them too hard because my Daughter and my husband were still asleep. I found today quite easy even though I didn’t get it done perfectly I really really enjoyed it so, thank you very much Lauren for your time making this video and planning it out.❤
Wow Kelly thanks for joining us from Down Under - sounds like you had a great start to your day but maybe try it again when everyone is up so you can really bang those spoons. hahahaha Thanks for checking in with us. Keep in touch
Hi Kelly, it sounds like you are enjoying a balmy Aussie winter!! So great to hear that this class also made your day. See you again for more exercise fun soon lovely friend!!
Dede and Walt in Minneapolis thank you for a great workout!!
You are so welcome, as always, Dede and Walt!!
Hi Lauren and my PFP family, I enjoyed the routine challenging but it will do our brain wonder . I used wooden kitchen spoons as my drums sticks . I think the twisting needs practice but that’s just me recovering from back fusion surgery as mentioned early on but I still trying to keep at least with one or two different sessions like Polly or seated yoga to switched and try out different exercises a day . Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for such a wonderful exercises style to address different symptoms of Parkinson’s challenges ❤🥰😍🙏🏼🙏🏼
Good for you Nadia - I think, since you had back fusion surgery, you may want to just move your arms to the side of the chair instead of a full trunk twist. You will still be crossing the mid-line (so important for Parkinson's) and getting a good amount of benefit from the pattern of taping right, facing front, tapping left etc. Let me know if that helps.
Hi Nadia!! Thanks so much for your lovely comment, we always love hearing from you and we are inspired by your ongoing commitment to movement. Good for you friend!!
Thanks Polly,Ann from Canada!
Hi there Ann!! We hope that you loved this class!!
Hi Polly, hello Cooper! Love your exercises. As I said before, with all due respect, I prefer to exercise with Cooper😃
Haha, we do too Moshe!! Thank you so much for your comment friend!!
