Fighting back against Parkinson’s.
The Lakes at Stillwater offers Rock Steady Boxing classes, an affiliate program of Rock Steady Boxing Inc., which enable individuals with Parkinson’s disease to fight their disease by providing non-contact boxing-style fitness programs that are designed to improve their quality of life, sense of efficacy and self-worth.
Recent studies also suggest that intense exercise programs may be “neuro-protective,” actually working to delay the progression of symptoms. Rock Steady Boxing provides encouragement by inspiring maximum effort, speed, strength, balance and flexibility. Boxing works by moving your body in all planes of motion while continuously changing the routine as you progress through the workout. Rock Steady Boxing classes may benefit anyone at any level of Parkinson’s and may lessen their symptoms and lead to a healthier, happier life.
When Sharon heard The Lakes at Stillwater would be starting a Rock Steady Boxing program, she signed up before the program even started. She has been coming three days a week for four years and loves the program, coaches and fellow boxers. It is a big part of her life.
I can’t control the disease but I don’t let it control how I live. With Rock Steady, I take control and fight back every time I come to class! I love Rock Steady!
