Improve Standing Balance and Weight Shifting for Parkinson's

Parkinson's Warrior Series with Lauren | Class #2: Balance

PFP Lead Instructor, Lauren Lewis, introduces a NEW Standing Series to make your exercise routine more FUN! Standing allows us to work with balance, work on mobility, and larger movements we don't always get to work when seated and improve coordination. This Parkinson's Warrior series is made up of 5 standing classes. Each class focuses on a different Parkinson's symptom. This is class #2 and targets balance with three exercises: weight shifting, bird dog, clock taps, and a bonus brain and body challenge. One helpful prop to have during your exercise is a wooden spoon or a ball. Happy exercising!
