Interview with Sarah Palmer: Rock Steady Boxing, PWR!Moves and PD
The Parkinson's Vitality Project PodcastShow Notes
In this episode, Anne talks with Sarah Palmer, the owner and founder of Forever Fitness in Cincinnati, Ohio. She is an exercise physiologist who has worked with people with Parkinson’s Disease for over 24 years as well as helped with advocacy for people with PD. Her exercise philosophy is: “The purpose of exercising is to have your body and brain feel better and to be healthier. Exercise enables you to do all the things you want to do for as long as possible, in short, to be “forever fit”. My approach is to exercise in a safe, effective, efficient and progressive manner with lots of variety. I want clients to feel better, healthier, be able to do things that they weren’t able to do before.”
Toda, we talk about how she takes that philosophy and uses it in her work teaching Rock Steady Boxing, PWR!Moves classes. We discuss what each of these classes include and how they are beneficial for people living with PD.
