Live Fitness Fridays: Body Mapping for Parkinson’s

Virtual ( Zoom )

1:00 pm to 1:45 pm EST (12 p.m. to 12:45 p.m. CST)
Free

In this class, you’ll learn how to incorporate body mapping techniques into your regular exercise routine, whether it’s boxing, large amplitude movements, strength training, or balance exercises. Body mapping helps coordinate the entire body—upper and lower, left and right—while using eye movements to enhance control, fluidity, and rotation. We’ll revisit core body mapping techniques to support full-body integration during exercises. For example, you’ll discover how to improve upper and lower body coordination for better rotation in boxing movements. The class will be paced from moderate to higher intensity, with seated variations available to meet all ability levels.

What You Need:

• Chair

• Exercise mat

• Hand towel

• Second chair, walker, foam roller, or wall for support during transitions

• Small hand weights (1-3 lbs) or weighted objects like soup cans or water bottles

Join the live Q&A at the end of class to discuss your experience and explore adjustments to better suit your needs.
