The workouts are designed to be physically demanding and to push participants beyond their perceived limits.

Rock Steady Boxing is a one-of-a-kind fitness programme tailored for people with Parkinson's disease based on boxing pro training. To suit the needs of people with PD at various stages of the disease, various levels of training have been devised. Rock Steady Boxing began in a gym in Indiana in 2006 and has since built a system to teach fitness instructors across the country, with more than 870 affiliate sites globally.

Those who are interested (personal trainers, physical therapists, boxing coaches, long-term care facility employees, etc.) must complete a two-part Affiliate Instruction Camp, which includes an online course and interactive in-person or virtual-based hands-on training. The affiliate Rock Steady Boxing programme can then be set up by trained individuals.

Significance of Rocksteady boxing
Several medical types of research on exercise and Parkinson's disease have found that forced rigorous exercise can help halt the disease's progression. In other words, there is less benefit from exercise done at a volunteer pace than from an activity that pushes or forces someone out of their comfort zone. Men and women of all ages and abilities are welcome to participate in Rock Steady Boxing.

Rocksteady boxing encourages maximal effort, speed, strength, balance, and flexibility by using a "tough love" approach. Boxing is a workout that involves exercising your body in all planes of motion while modifying the routine as you advance through the workout. Rock Steady Boxing sessions have shown that anyone with Parkinson's disease, at any stage, can reduce their symptoms and live a healthier life.

Although it is certainly not the only approach, Rock Steady Boxing can be a terrific way for persons with PD to gain exercise and interaction. Consult your doctor to see if Rock Steady Boxing is a good fit for you, and look for the best boxing gym in the Washington DC area that will push you in a controlled and safe atmosphere.
