Rock Steady Boxing, a unique exercise program, based on training used by boxing pros, and adapted to people with Parkinson’s disease, will now be available in Orange County. The program involves regular exercises, such as stretching, running, jump-roping, push-ups, balancing and lots of non-contact boxing. Led by ex-professional boxer/coach, Gary Ballard, Rock Steady Boxing serves both men and women of all ages and levels of ability.
Rock Steady Boxing enables people battling Parkinson’s, a degenerative movement disorder, to take an active role in improving their well being with non-contact boxing inspired fitness training. Exercises are based on traditional boxing drills and designed to optimize agility, speed, endurance, balance, hand-eye coordination, and overall strength. While exercises are adapted to individual capabilities and fitness levels, they remain rigorous and enable participants to push past self-imposed limits of ability—in other words, to fight!
Rock Steady Boxing Orange County is led by Gary “Boom Boom†Ballard, a former World Super Middleweight Championship Fighter and Certified Personal Trainer. After retiring from the competitive ring in 1998, Gary found his home in Orange County and has been providing professional group cardio boxing training. In addition, Gary offers comprehensive personal one-on-one training programs that include: strength training, cardiovascular conditioning, core conditioning, balance training, range of motion training & nutrition consultation. “It was only natural for me to throw a knock-out punch and marry the sport that I love with a crippling disease such as Parkinson’s. I firmly believe that the Rock Steady Program will help in slowing the progression of the disease and improve the quality of life for people who have been diagnosed with Parkinson’s,†said Ballard. Rock Steady Boxing Orange County classes have started and are available in either a group environment or a one-on-one personal training program with Gary. Group classes are Monday, Wednesday, Friday 11:00a to 12noon and are held in the Rock Steady ring inside ProSport Physical Therapy & Performance at 30085 Comercio, Rancho Santa Margarita, CA 92688.
Parkinson’s disease affects more than 1 million people in the United States. The Rock Steady Boxing method was developed in 2006 by former prosecutor Scott Newman, who was diagnosed with the disease at age 39. With daily intense exercise, Mr. Newman began to experience a dramatic improvement in his physical health, agility, and everyday functioning. His experience is supported by science as medical research has found that regular high-intensity, focused exercise not only improves the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease, it may actually slow the progression of the disease itself.
Today, there are 21 Rock Steady Boxing affiliates in 10 states, and international affiliates in Australia and Canada. All coaches have completed the requirements of Rock Steady Boxing and have been officially certified in the Rock Steady Boxing headquarters and training center in Indianapolis.

Online games, a more sturdy obtain store, social networking,
and media center performance are all large options for the Wii U.
More than ever earlier than, Nintendo hopes to capture two totally different audiences: the players who love huge-finances franchises like
Zelda and Call of Duty, and the Wii fans who were launched to gaming
by means of Wii Sports and Wii Fit. Iceland is a great possibility if you’re
a part of a vulnerable group, as it is currently prioritising ship to those
who most need it. My So-Called Life’ was an excellent show with an amazing ensemble solid, but
when lead actress Claire Danes left the show just couldn’t go on without her.
Occasionally, an irreplaceable lead actor will want to
depart – like Claire Danes from “My So-Called Life” – and there is no
way to continue. Many corporations need to place commercials where adults with expendable income will see them.
Don’t be concerned. Whether you’re a severe foodie in search
of a brand new dining experience or just need to eat out without the guesswork, there’s an app for that.
The truth is, many individuals begin off promoting unwanted stuff around their home and progress to truly on the lookout for items,
say at thrift shops, to resell. Drivers have to go a background check,
however after that, you are ready to start out hauling
passengers day or evening.

Truly no matter if someone doesn’t understand then its up
to other people that they will assist, so here it happens.
My husband has Parkinson’s disease, he is about 63 years old it was diagnosed 2 years ago. It was getting more difficult to live for him, because of stiff muscles he couldn’t even move. Mirapex and levodopa medicines were given, but didn’t give much relief. He couldn’t eat food without choking. I thought this might be the last stage and the medications he was given did not help at all, so I started to do alot of research on Ayurveda treatments, I was introduced to Health Natural Centre and their Parkinson’s Ayurveda Protocol. He started on the Ayurveda Treatment last year, his symptoms gradually diminished including his vocal cord spasm, Muscle Weakness, Tremors and Difficulty with swallowing. Reach them at natural herbs centre . c o m , he is getting active again since starting this treatment, he is able to walk again ( down the street and back ) he has also resumed exercising to strengthen muscles!! God Bless all PD Caregivers. Stay Strong, take small moments throughout the day to thank yourself, to love your self, and pray to whatever faith, star, spiritual force you believe in and ask for strength. I can personally vouch for these remedy but you would probably need to decide what works best for you.
