🚘 Pre-class Prost-FIT banter yesterday exchanging stories of getting first driver’s licenses (inspired by my 16 year old just getting hers)…turns out it was a little easier ‘back in the day’!

🚶🏽Gait Gains… Blackie works tirelessly on his opposite arm swing to leg, accuracy of foot placement & turning tightly on the spot. These motor aspects are no longer ‘automated’ with his Parkinson’s Disease, so we drill them again & again (with his rests full of great stories of rugby days…he’s not as innocent as he looks 😉)

Dry July done & dusted for another year 👏… dollars are distributed to NZ cancer organisations 🌼

As Colin rows between walking intervals, another resthome gentleman belts out some impromptu Queen lyrics for us in the background ! 🎶 🎤 😍

Can you even pick Brendon’s stroke affected side now!?

Doing away with the ‘flexor’ pattern in his upper limb (tendency for shoulder to internally rotate & elbow/wrist/fingers to stay bent).

Can you keep restoring function & power 4 years after a stroke? Yes he can, he’s a man on a mission 🙌💪

Pushed through a ‘tough little half’ yesterday thinking of inspirational clients (who never think they are) both present...

Dry July! We’re raising 💵 again for Cancer Orgs in NZ…lucky us this includes funding Prost-FIT Havelock North & Napier (targeted weekly exercise for men with Prostate Cancer).

Warm up drill here naming non-alcoholic drink ideas (banter mostly on track 😉)…

Meet Clare ❤️ No Early Onset Dementia gets her down.

An active, sports loving person but never trained in a gym before… so much respect for the strength gains she’s making & the attitude she lives her full life with 👊

When a farm incident wrecked Colin’s right shoulder decades ago he stopped using it, ever, it froze.

Physiotherapy & drills like this & he’s lifting it off the arm rest unassisted getting some movement back 💪… even drinking his much adored coffee occasionally with his right 🫱☕️

Never too late.

Training functional stuff… sit to stand, lift, carry, turning

At age 92, our weekly sessions push Judith just outside her comfort zone & she leaves with her ‘movement confidence cup’ full 🥤 🏃 🚶🏼‍♀️

A bit of a pre-workout dual tasking icebreaker 🧊 yesterday @ Prost-FIT Havelock North …

Team Work Makes The Dream Work 🥊 Jim C & Jean partner up every Counterpunch Parkinson’s session.

Jim C holds a balanced stance, drives through his legs a little, repeats combo 2-3 & with Jean’s rhythm & motivation there’s always a giggle 🤭 somewhere too…
