ROCK STEADY BOXING EXPLAINED

Heidi Keller from Providence Wellness Center explained a new program at our club meeting on May 31. Rock Steady Boxing involves exercises that include stretching, bicycling, rowing, boxing, etc. Heidi showed us a couple of videos that told about this great program that has had amazing results. Heidi and three others from PWC went to Indianapolis, Indiana, for training. Classes for clients diagnosed with Parkinsons will begin June 12th.

Heidi gave us some of the information they learned about how the program started. Heidi noted, "exercise, specifically forced intense exercise, is the ONLY treatment that has actually been medically proven to slow the progression of Parkinsons." PWC will be having an open house for anyone interested in more information, or you may contact them for more information.

Club member Randy Pedersen, who assisted with the promotion of this program, introduced Heidi Keller, who is Director/Personal Trainer at Providence Wellness Center in Wayne.
