Journey to Patagonia

joanie

Updated: Aug 23, 2021

Clients Claudia & Charlie have made active vacations part of their lifestyle. They have hiked many of the US National Parks, Montanta, Wyoming, New Mexico and Arizona. The Dolomites in northern Italy and the Andes in Peru.

Last year they set out on another adventure - this time to the Patagonia region in southern Chile. This area is famously known due to the "W" which consists of a series of very rigorous full day hikes.


Patagonia
Charlie & Claudia - active lifestyle role models!

"As with all of our trips, being fit is a critical part of being able to take full advantage of what the region has to offer" says boxing client Claudia. As well as our regular workout routine, we will start training weeks before our trips. An important part of preparing is "getting time in boots" as well as getting ourselves "pack worthy". We will add long walks/hikes (in our boots). In addition, we up our boxing training with Joanie. Joanies training increases our cardio stamina, muscle strength, as well as balance. All critical to the rugged terian. We found the workouts so helpful that the month before leaving we doubled our workout time with Joanie! These sessions not only prepared us completely, but were alot of fun!


So for us the journey is getting ready as well as the trip itself! Next stop is Mount Blanc in the French and Italian Alps!


"For us the journey is getting ready as well as the trip!" Crater Lake in Colorado

Parkinsons Boxing Class

Fight Back Against PD

Boxing gives people with Parkinson’s disease hope by improving their quality of life through a non-contact boxing based fitness curriculum.

Parkinson’s disease is a degenerative movement disorder which can cause deterioration of motor skills, balance, speech and sensory function. The Parkinson’s Disease Foundation estimates there are more than 1 million people in the United States diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, and more than 60,000 people are diagnosed each year. Rock Steady Boxing is the first boxing program in the country dedicated to the fight against Parkinson’s.

In our classes, exercises are largely adapted from boxing drills. Boxers condition for optimal agility, speed, muscular endurance, accuracy, hand-eye coordination, footwork and overall strength to defend against and overcome opponents. At RSB, Parkinson’s disease is the opponent. Exercises vary in purpose and form but share one common trait: they are rigorous and intended to extend the perceived capabilities of the participant.

Various studies in the 1980s and 1990s supported the notion that rigorous exercise, emphasizing gross motor movement, balance, core strength, and rhythm, could favorably impact range of motion, flexibility, posture, gait, and activities of daily living. More recent studies, most notably at Cleveland Clinic, focus on the concept of intense “forced” exercise, and have begun to suggest that certain kinds of exercise may be neuro-protective, i.e., actually slowing disease progression.

Our clients attest, and academic institutions, such as University of Indianapolis and Butler University, are reporting and documenting the improved quality of life among our boxers. Discovery of a cure may be many years away but in the last seven years, there is evidence that progress is made in all stages of the disease by those participating in the RSB program.
