    ![A man lifting two weights in a T motion](/sites/default/files/styles/no_sizing/public/images/fitness-fridays-event-banner.png?itok=1IgFxQr8)  This week’s Fitness Friday will offer a workout that will focus on proper boxing form, breaking down the individual moves from basic stance to more complex punching combinations.

Our instructors will share how Rock Steady Boxing makes adaptations to a traditional boxer’s training regimen to address Parkinson’s symptoms. Instructors will offer basic boxing moves and the Rock Steady Boxing “brand” with fun, upbeat music, and humor. We will feature a personal connection to someone with Parkinson’s, offering words of encouragement and inspiration to viewers.

Equipment needed: sturdy chair and water bottle.

### **Instructor**

**Chris Timberlake**, ACSM CIFT, CPT

There is no charge to attend, but registration is required. This program is open to people with Parkinson's, their family, friends, and the community.
