Working with this incredible group of people has been an immensely fulfilling experience, beyond words can express ❤️

We recently hosted our very first 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗼𝗻'𝘀 𝗣𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘆 – try saying that five times really fast!

It was a momentous occasion as our members from three different locations finally got to meet and mingle with one another. Friends, family, and members of our community joined hands to celebrate life, resilience, and the joy of fighting back against Parkinson's together! 🥊

🏓 Choosing Ping Pong as our sport of the day proved to be a brilliant decision. Not only is it simple and space-friendly, but it also offers a myriad of benefits, including improved hand-eye coordination, stimulation of cognitive function, and even an increase in dopamine release.

The energy and enthusiasm in the room were contagious as we battled it out, paddle to paddle. As we bid farewell to this unforgettable event, we can't help but wonder who will emerge as the ultimate Ping Pong champ next time! 💪🏼

Thank you to everyone who made this event a smashing success. Together, we are stronger, and together, we will continue to triumph over Parkinson's!

💪 𝐑𝐞𝐠𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐫 𝐄𝐱𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐂𝐚𝐧 𝐇𝐞𝐥𝐩 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐦 𝐃𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 🍻

Alcohol abuse can sneak up on us later in life, experts say. Many people lose their partners, job-associated identity, and a sense of purpose that had guided them for decades, and some can develop or worsen a drinking problem.

The pandemic, and the isolation it brought, led millions of older adults to drink more, surveys found.

Now, with the annual 𝐀𝐥𝐜𝐨𝐡𝐨𝐥 𝐀𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡 𝐢𝐧 𝐀𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐥, it’s a good time to point out signs of possible trouble for people later in life. And to share the good news about the positive role regular exercise can play in overcoming a drinking problem.

We don’t metabolize alcohol and drugs as quickly as when we were younger, doctors say. So, what we could “handle” earlier in life can become a problem later.

Exercise can be a helpful part of recovery, along with 12-step programs, counseling, and medical and family support. Potential problem signs include: drinking quickly; hiding consumption; getting hurt while drinking; and a decline in self-care.

“Many patients with various substance use disorders have found that exercise helps to distract them from cravings,” Dr. Claire Twark wrote for the Harvard Medical School. “Workouts add structure to the day. They help with forming positive social connections and help treat depression and anxiety in combination with other therapies.”

𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀: By now, you’ve learned how important it is to have the right mindse...

𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀: By now, you’ve learned how important it is to have the right mindset in building a new habit or working toward a goal. 😁

Right? You’ve done this countless times throughout life, whether at work, with your family, or pursuing hobbies. You know that:

👉 If you have the wrong idea, you’re starting on the wrong foot.
👉 If you listen to the naysayers, you’ll never get anywhere.
👉 If you focus on impossible dreams, you won’t achieve your perfectly attainable desires.

So, here is our list of five common mistakes people over 50 make about fitness. Join us today and let’s break free together!

1. 𝗟𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗕𝗮𝗰𝗸 (𝗪𝗮𝗮𝗮𝗮𝗮𝗮𝘆 𝗕𝗮𝗰𝗸)
Men in their 50s and 60s will tell us on their first visit, “When I was in college, I could bench press a truck while running the 4-minute mile. On a hangover. So, yeah, let’s get me back to that.”

WRONG.

It doesn’t matter what you think you did decades ago, good or bad. Life didn’t end at 25, did it? We figure out your abilities TODAY and how they relate to your desires for TOMORROW.

𝟮. “𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗜𝘀 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝗼 𝗟𝗼𝗻𝗴?”
We all want the “quick fix” to our problems, don’t we? It’s only natural.

But let’s not get frustrated too soon. Success takes time.

Here’s a simple example: You didn’t gain 40 pounds in two weeks, so it’s going to take more than two weeks to lose it.

𝟯. 𝗧𝗼𝗼 𝗠𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝗙𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗪𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁
Our culture puts too much emphasis on weight. Here with us, you’ll learn to focus more on mobility, strength, agility, and stamina.

And yes, you’ll start looking better in no time, which might (or might not) be accompanied by a lower number on the scale.

But it’s just one little piece of the puzzle.

𝟰. “𝗜𝘁’𝘀 𝗧𝗼𝗼 𝗟𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗠𝗲”
Stereotypes and myths somehow persist that health is for young people only, or something we can’t correct or improve.

Nothing could be further from the truth. As we age, it’s even more important to take care of ourselves so we can enjoy independence and a higher quality of life.

We don’t try to make you young again because there’s simply no need for that. (Also, it’s, you know, impossible!) It’s never too late to start exercising and see improvements.

𝟱. “𝗜 𝗗𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗠𝘂𝘀𝗰𝗹𝗲𝘀”
If you come in here with the mindset that you just want to walk on the treadmills for a few minutes, then you’re missing out on the most powerful tool we have to help you live the life you want to live.

And that’s resistance training. Or strength training. Or weightlifting, if you like.

We all need muscle as we go through life. Muscle keeps us upright. It lets us stand up from the toilet. It lets us put away the groceries, travel and beat the neighbors at pickleball. You simply can’t do anything without muscle, and we’ll make sure you have as much as you need.

We’ll go over all this and more with you before you start – and at any time after you’ve joined us. We’ll get your mindset right, and we’re here to keep it right long after you’ve joined.

Let’s do this! 💪

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗘𝘅𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗛𝗲𝗹𝗽𝘀 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗼𝗻’𝘀 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 🌟

April is 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗼𝗻’𝘀 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵 and a good time to discuss how exercise can lessen its symptoms and improve quality of life.

Parkinson’s is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects the brain, and symptoms can include tremors, problems with walking and balance, and limb rigidity.

More than 10 million people worldwide have it, according to the Parkinson’s Foundation. In the US alone, more than 90,000 people are diagnosed each year, almost all of them after age 50.

The cause is unknown. There is no cure. Treatments include medication and surgery, says the Parkinson’s Foundation. It is not fatal itself. But complications are the 14th leading cause of death in the US, says the Centers for Disease Control.

“𝘈𝘯𝘺 𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘰𝘧 𝘦𝘹𝘦𝘳𝘤𝘪𝘴𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘥𝘰 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘭𝘺 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘱 𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘗𝘢𝘳𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘰𝘯’𝘴 𝘴𝘺𝘮𝘱𝘵𝘰𝘮𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘩,” the Parkinson’s Foundation says. That’s because exercise might slow the progression of the disease.

🥊 Boxing is an increasingly common activity for Parkinson's patients. "𝘕𝘰𝘯-𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘤𝘵 𝘣𝘰𝘹𝘪𝘯𝘨-𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘱𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘤𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘴 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘳𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘦, 𝘳𝘦𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘥𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘺𝘮𝘱𝘵𝘰𝘮𝘴,” says Rock Steady Boxing.

“𝘉𝘰𝘹𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘰𝘱𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘢𝘭 𝘢𝘨𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺, 𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘦𝘥, 𝘮𝘶𝘴𝘤𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘳 𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘶𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦, 𝘢𝘤𝘤𝘶𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘺, 𝘣𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦, 𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘥-𝘦𝘺𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘰𝘳𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯, 𝘧𝘰𝘰𝘵𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘨𝘵𝘩 𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘦𝘧𝘦𝘯𝘥 𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘰𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴,” Rock Steady says. “Parkinson’s causes a loss in many of the same elements that boxers condition to improve.”

Also, the Parkinson’s Foundation recommends activities such as golf, and dancing – since learning steps while moving is good for cognition – swimming, tai chi, and yoga.

Sometimes we like to share answers to questions we get asked the most. Here are a few of them. Enjoy!

𝗤. 𝗔𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗯𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗳𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗶𝘁?
A. It’s hard for us to believe, but we hear this question often, so it must be true that many people don’t know about this. The simple answer is: There are COUNTLESS real health benefits for regular exercise, particularly after age 50 or so.

𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗮 𝗳𝗲𝘄:
👉 It lowers your risk of falling
👉 It helps prevent various types of cancer
👉 It reduces the risk of dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease
👉 It lowers your risk of heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, type 2 Diabetes, and depression
👉 It improves sleep, function, and quality of life

𝗤. 𝗜 𝗸𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 ‘𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗼.’ 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁?
A. Cardiovascular conditioning or aerobic exercise -- like running and cycling --- benefits your heart and vascular system. It’s a great way to burn calories and provides physical, psychological and cognitive benefits.

𝗤. 𝗦𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗜 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗼?
A. Nope. You need four types of exercise: endurance, strength, balance and flexibility. It’d be nice to say that all you need is a few walks around the block once a week. Nice – but a fantasy.

𝗤. 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗜 𝗳𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗻 𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁?
A. No way! Losing weight is a common goal for people who want to get or stay fit. But you shouldn’t get too hung up on that number of the scale. There are so many more benefits. You’ll feel better, move better, and look better. If you also lose weight, that’s good, too.

𝗤. 𝗖𝗮𝗻 𝗜 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗜 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘀?
A. Yes, you can – and should. It might seem counterintuitive but think about exercise as providing lubrication for your body. It lessens pain and stiffness by taking pressure off aching joints, and it can ease joint inflammation and stiffness.

𝗤. 𝗜𝗳 𝗲𝘅𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗼𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝗼 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁, 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲, 𝗺𝘆 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀, 𝗱𝗶𝗱𝗻’𝘁 𝗱𝗼 𝗶𝘁?
A. Well, times have changed. Fitness was not generally a part of the culture until the late 1970s, and early 1980s. Science has improved, along with our understanding of the health benefits of movement. We’re living longer, and you want to make the most of your time by living the life you want for as long as possible.

𝗤: 𝗪𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗜 𝗵𝘂𝗿𝘁 𝗺𝘆𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳?
A: You are more likely to hurt yourself if you are inactive. Fitness prevents injuries and chronic conditions; improves balance, bone density, and mental alertness; and helps us manage weight, blood pressure, and stress. The couch is far more dangerous than the gym!

𝗤: 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗺𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝘁 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲?
A: We all need at least 150 minutes a week of moderate cardio activity, plus at least two sessions of resistance training.

𝙎𝙩𝙪𝙙𝙞𝙚𝙨 𝙇𝙞𝙣𝙠 𝙊𝙗𝙚𝙨𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝙩𝙤 𝙋𝙤𝙤𝙧 𝘽𝙧𝙖𝙞𝙣 𝙃𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙩𝙝

Being obese means having a bigger body, of course. But research indicates it also means having a smaller brain – and a higher risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease.

“The more we understand about (body fat), the clearer it becomes that belly fat is its own disease-generating organism,” said Dr. Lenore Launer in a statement by the National Institutes of Health.

Several studies in recent years have addressed the link between 𝗼𝗯𝗲𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵.

“𝘙𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘩 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘸𝘴 𝘰𝘣𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘴 𝘣𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘯 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘩 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥𝘩𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘸𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝘢𝘥𝘶𝘭𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘰𝘥, 𝘢𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘦𝘹𝘦𝘤𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘧𝘶𝘯𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘴𝘬𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘴 – 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘹 𝘢𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘵𝘰 𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘢𝘵𝘦, 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘺 𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘢𝘴𝘬𝘴 – 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘶𝘣𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘥𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘢 𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘬,” says the American Heart Association.

👉 Time magazine shared another study that suggests eliminating excess fat can improve brain function -- and that exercise can reverse brain damage that was possibly caused by fat. Obese adults are 35 percent more likely to develop Alzheimer’s. One expert says obese people’s brains are 8 percent smaller.

It’s not clear why. But other health conditions that affect inactive older people – like high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes – are also linked to obesity.

Eating right and staying at a healthy weight are good for brain health, increasing blood circulation throughout the body, including the brain.

The connection between body and brain health continues to emerge. It’s just one more reason to take better care of yourself through a healthy lifestyle that includes regular exercise.
