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!
