Join us for a live fitness class, offered once a month. Each Friday, we share a PD-tailored video that features a different focus every week, from balance to coordination and more.

Punch Out PD will include dynamic, high-energy drills that train muscle power. Vigorous exercise can help improve motor function and brain health. This class will incorporate intervals of high intensity power movements such as squats & punches, along with functional strength exercises that support activities of daily living. The goal of this class is to help support confidence, independence and optimal brain aging. Both seated and standing exercises will be included. 

Fitness instruction for this program was recorded in advance.
