What is Parkinson’s Boxing?
This spirited boxing fitness program helps improve balance, cardio, coordination, and strength through non-contact exercises. This class includes core and cardio exercises as well as the opportunity to hit the “heavy bag.” If you wish to hit the “heavy bag,” please bring your own boxing gloves. Boxing gloves are also available for purchase directly from Title Boxing Fairfax. One pair of “Boxing Wrap” will be provided at no cost to each participant. Participants can also purchase additional “Boxing Wrap” from Title Boxing. No boxing experience required.
Why is Exercise important for people facing Parkinson’s?
Exercise helps people with Parkinson’s improve their mobility. It also helps slow the progression of the disease. PFNCA wellness programs have been vetted by the PFNCA Medical Advisory Board to ensure they are evidence-based to help those with Parkinson’s.
