🥊 Challenge Your Body. Challenge Your Brain. Find Your Flow! 🧠💪

Hand-eye-body coordination is about more than keeping up with a movement. It’s about getting your eyes, hands, feet, and brain working together!

For people living with Parkinson’s, coordination challenges can help train reaction time, balance, focus, and movement control—all while having some fun.

The best part? What feels awkward at first can become smoother with practice. You might surprise yourself with what you can do!

💙 At EMF, we believe in challenging ourselves, trying new things, and celebrating progress—one movement at a time.

🎥 Watch the video and give it a try! Start slowly, work at your own pace, and see if you can find your flow.

💪 Pick up the pace. Recover. Repeat.

HIIT—high-intensity interval training—alternates short bursts of harder exercise with periods of rest or gentler movement.

For people with Parkinson’s, appropriately tailored HIIT can help build cardiovascular fitness and endurance for everyday activities. 🩵

The challenge should fit YOU. Ask your EMF coach and healthcare team whether HIIT is a good fit and how to adapt it to your abilities.

Keep moving. Keep challenging yourself. Every effort counts.

It’s not really about the ball… 🩵

The ball adds a little fun and an extra challenge. The real work? Stepping, reaching, rotating, lifting and coordinating—movements we want to keep practicing with Parkinson’s.

At EMF, we move with purpose, challenging both body and brain along the way.

Keep moving. Keep practicing. Have some fun!

💪 Think BIG. Stand tall. Practice posture.

Parkinson’s can gradually lead to rounded shoulders and a forward, stooped posture, affecting balance, mobility and everyday movement.

Try these two movements to practice reaching tall:

1️⃣ Standing Wall Scaption: Stand with your back against a wall. Holding a lightweight bar, slowly raise your arms overhead in a wide “V.” Keep your chest tall and reach only as far as feels comfortable.

2️⃣ Lying Scaption: If standing is challenging, try the same movement while lying on your back for added support.

Move slowly, stay within a comfortable range, and ask your EMF coach about adapting the movement to your needs.

Small, consistent practice can help you keep moving BIG!

May your day be shadowed with strength, echoing joy, and victories unforgotten. 🎂🦇

Still Fighting. Still Inspiring.

Michael J. Fox received the Bob Hope Humanitarian Award at the Emmys and reminded us that accepting a Parkinson’s diagnosis does not mean surrendering to it.

That fighting spirit is something we see every day at EMF, where our boxers face Parkinson’s with strength, determination and plenty of heart.

Watch his moving speech

'I understood that accepting Parkinson’s didn't mean I had to surrender to it...'

🎉 Happy Birthday from EMF! 🥊

Wishing a fantastic day to our amazing boxers: Don B., Karen F., Dale T., Robert S., Ed V., Pat H., William A., Jody P., Bob N., and Bill A!

Your strength, dedication, and energy inspire us all—here’s to another year of health, happiness, and great punches! 💪🎂

🧪 Science Saturday: It's Not Just Muscle Loss in Parkinson's

New research suggests that the decline in fitness seen with Parkinson's isn't explained by muscle loss alone. Changes in the brain, nervous system, and how the body uses energy may also play a major role—highlighting just how complex Parkinson's really is.

The takeaway? Staying active still matters. At EMF, our boxing classes help build strength, improve endurance, challenge the brain, and support overall fitness—because every workout is an investment in living well with Parkinson's. 🥊💙

Worse physical function in Parkinson's patients is not explained by variations in the amount of muscle in the body, a study found.

🧪 Science Saturday: New Research Could Improve How Parkinson's Cognitive Changes Are Detected

Memory and thinking changes can be some of the most challenging symptoms of Parkinson's—but they don't always show up on standard tests. New research suggests doctors may be able to identify subtle cognitive changes earlier by looking beyond test scores and considering a person's day-to-day functioning.

At EMF, we know keeping your brain active is just as important as keeping your body moving. That's why our boxing classes incorporate cognitive challenges and brain games.

Every study brings us one step closer to understanding Parkinson's—and every class is another opportunity to strengthen both body and brain. 💙🥊

A study shows how specialists combine MoCA results with health information when assessing cognitive changes in people with Parkinson’s.
