7-6-20 Strength - Focus on Reciprocal Training, Hamstring Curls and Obliques!
Functional Strength Training • 33m
Strength Training is important for all of us!
Today we did hamstring curls with punch and got those obliques activated! Lots of other great exercises too with a focus on reciprocal training!
To be as Parkinson's specific as possible, we want to focus more on functional strengthening than on general weights or machines. We also want to focus more on strengthening the extensor muscles, than the flexors! We also want to incorporate posture, balance and all the good stuff into all the forms of exercise we do. Instead of you trying to figure all of this out, we designed a class just for you!
Remember, safety first! Modify activities as needed! Use support for anything in standing as needed, use the chair to get up and down from the ground, take your time and skip or modify activities if you need it!
Equipment needed:
-Sturdy Chair
-Yoga Mat!
-Hand Towel
-Light Hand Weights (1-3lbs) or something similar from around the house!
-Water bottle!
-A great attitude
-Hard work ;)
