STORYTELLERPAULPaul is a member of our Rock SteadyBoxing class that started in October2017. Paul has had Parkinson’s Disease for approximately 22 years.

He found that taking the right medications at the right time, eatinghealthy and exercising regularly isvery important to keep him moving.

The exercises in the Rock Steady Boxing class help him physically aswell as mentally knowing he is doing something that helps his overallfitness plus he gets to do it with people that are fighting the same diseasehe is, Parkinson’s. His goal is to keep exercising to stay mobile.

The class is for all people in all stages of Parkinson’s. Whether mobile ornot we have exercises to meet everyone’s needs. Paul challenges you to come volunteer and help at one of the classes. It’s more fun exercising asa group than by yourself.

“There is no cure for Parkinson’s, but there is HOPE. The Y is striving to helpall of us improve our physical and mental health.”

Thank you Paul for being a STORYTELLER for the YMCA!
