A series of one-minute exercise drills and coordination challenges designed to make you feel more alert and better, quickly. When you're pressed for time, these lessons can help you feel better and poised for the day. You should maintain a comprehensive exercise program included in your membership, but when time doesn't allow, spend a few minutes and perform these videos.
This one minute drill incorporates a reciprocal movement pattern that challenges balance and flexibility. Stepping backwards into a reciprocal sweep of the arms, you'll reinforce the body pattern used during gait.
This video incorporates a towel to warm up the chest and shoulder muscles with internal and external rotational movement of the upper arm to keep these structures open and strong.
This video instructs how to go from a seated position to a standing and adds a bonus technique which is great for improving balance and strength for someone with Parkinson's.
If you have Parkinson's you'll want to avoid this balance exercise. Patrick provides a better option which will encourage balance improvement and reduce the chance of a fall.
This video presents the "no-money" stretch which is wonderful for someone with Parkinson's to keep their muscles between the shoulder blades active and health while keeping the anterior muscle structors open and strong (chest, shoulder, neck, etc.)
You'll need a small ball, a chair, and a lot of determination. This drill requires you to balance a ball on the palm of your hand while circling the arm and hand about the body in a challenging manner.
This video is a chair exercise that incorporates reciprocal movement patterns and may also be helpful to keep your feet and legs functioning for driving and moving from the gas pedal to the break
This drill can improve your ankle and wrist mobility and challenge the brain & body connection.
This video is a coordination exercise for the hands and arms similar to the childhood game of patting your head and rubbing your stomach. Good for neuroplasticity as well.
