Live Fitness Friday: Synapse - Move Strong with PD | Parkinson's Foundation

For more information on Parkinson's and exercise, visit: www.parkinson....
Synapse is a dynamic, high-energy workout that stimulates your body and mind to move and think stronger. This class is based off of Movement Revolution’s Neuro Intensive Exercise principles that are derived from the latest research on exercise and it’s benefits for PD. Vigorous exercise can be neuroprotective and can help improve complex movement patterning and cognitive function.
This class will sequence bouts of high intensity exercise such as boxing, kicking, etc. with functional strength exercises that mimic everyday activities. The goal of this class is to get you moving stronger in every way necessary to help you live stronger every day.
Seated and standing options will be presented. Please keep a bottle of water nearby. Enjoy the session!
