    Heidi replied to the topic Have you taken virtual exercise classes? in the forum Parkinson's Disease and exercise 9 months, 1 week ago

    Yes!  When covid struck, my local Rock Steady Boxing place started offering zoom classes, which I’ve been doing ever since.  Over a year ago, I also found Power for Parkinson’s, which offers different classes every day of the week on Youtube.  The classes are free and specifically target PD issues.  There are different instructors every day, and…[Read more]

    Heidi replied to the topic At-home gym essentials in the forum Parkinson's Disease and exercise 9 months, 1 week ago

    I’ve collected a lot of minor equipment over the past year and a half.  Except for the walking poles, most of the items were fairly inexpensive and purchased over time.  I already had hand weights in several sizes plus a big exercise ball,  I added resistance bands and tubing,  balls for the Power for Parkinson’s Youtube classes, Urban Walking Pol…[Read more]

    Heidi replied to the topic Do you know of any resources for early onset Parkinson's? in the forum Diagnosis​ ​Information​ ​and​ ​General​ ​Questions 9 months, 1 week ago

    I do Rock Steady Boxing (for all levels of PD).  I also do the Young Onset Circuit Training class (a free YouTube class put out by Power for Parkinson’s.  There’s a new video every week or you can do classes from their video library.).

    The Davis Phinney Organization has great information on YOPD, including webinars.

    Live well!

    To help with micrographia (small cramped handwriting), I bought a book from Dollar Tree that has the lined paper that you used in elementary school to learn how to write.  The spacing is big, forcing you to write big.  Cost:  $1.  Not a “device,” but something to help with PD symptoms.

    A few years ago, I purchased Linelax Weighted Utensils from Amazon to help with my PD tremors.  For me, they didn’t work at all.  The weight did not tone down the tremors, and now I had something heavy in my hand that could cause damage to me or someone nearby (Silverware becomes weapon).  The spoon, being heavy-duty, is a great ice-cream sc…[Read more]
