The Davis Phinney Foundation is pleased to announce their newest initiative, an instructional DVD on exercising with Parkinson’s disease.
Parkinson’s Exercise Essentials: Getting Started, Staying Motivated and
Seeing Results was developed in collaboration with Dr. Matthew Ford of The
University of Alabama at Birmingham and provides the background information and
tools needed to embark on a lifelong personal exercise program.
The DVD includes workouts that can be performed at home, in a fitness center or in the community. The workouts include guidance and adaptations for a range of ages and stages of Parkinson’s, from diagnosis through advanced stages of the disease. Thirteen people with Parkinson’s (ages 35 to 74) demonstrate that neither age nor disease progression need be barriers to fitness. Their offical launch for this program will take place September 17.
