Many thanks. Very good
Hi Polly, we exercise to your videos in our Senior chair exercise class in McDowell County, N.C. We enjoy the variety of your movements and brain exercises. We meet each weekday for 1 hour and you are a big part of our program. You have helped us so much, thank you and God bless you.
We appreciated your emphasis on each side of the body. Where did Cooper go? We saw a sign in the background that said 1 like= 1 treat for Cooper. If that's the case, we're posting many many likes❤ to you and to Cooper.
love the knowledge and it definitely keeps me motivated
Thanks for good care of us!!From 🇨🇦!
Thanks!Can you do more 45 minutes exercises, please!
7/15 for me I’ve almost got this down . Thx ❤🎉 hot already in NV 95
Loved It!!!!
I did a random youtube search -parkinson's coordination- and found you. Thank you. This is just what I need. Will do again until perfect. Loved the ball. I used a cushion.
I work with iClimb parkinsons thank you for all the great classes and ideas!!
Wow! You're amazing with those patterns! Fun workout!
Super !! Merci!! Très intéressant ! 😂❤🎉
Polly, great exercises, but I feel with my knee osteoarthritis, it is not easy to follow.
Teh , this probably is hard on your knees. Polly teaches Brain & Body classes in a chair that might work better for you. kzread.info/head/PL5jg5UxfmH0jpTpbV81oQ1FRjlqD5d7ut&si=EBdYfYcyulzTZxo3
Thanks Polly!
❤👍👍Great workout!!!! Thanks so much Lauren 😘
😊😊😊😊❤Thanks so much for helping through our PD journey!!
Thank you Polly! We have Cali the lab and she exercises with us too. 😊
Yes Lauren, very good exercises. A bull's eye for me. Unfortunately, my PD is progressing. As a result I was falling behind and had to reduce the playback to 75%. In the past I was able to perform same movements at normal speed. The decease is taking its toll. I will continue doing you exercises for as long as I'll be able. You are excellent.
Ultimate workout today.really enjoying every moment with u Polly.Mornings hv been so beautiful with u n Cooper sleeping near u.
Glad I came to class today. I have been having tightness in my belly, and I wasn’t sure if I would join today, but I am feeling better and more encouraged!
Polly, this is Joy. As I told you at the Lakeway Library, I love the combination of exercising brain and body at the same time! It has really pointed out to me that I need both! Thanks for mentioning KZread to Don--we have now subscribed! Thanks so much, and we love everything you do!
Loved this exercise
Hey Polly and everyone at PfP - A thoroughly enjoyable workout today - got my heart rate up and I especially enjoyed the variety of the exercises too..... feeling very energised now. I initially sat for the start of class as I was struggling with my mobility….. I think I had eaten too much protein around taking my meds (that’ll teach me), but then towards the end of class, I had really loosened up and was able to stand without issue, so continued standing for the remainder - just goes to show how much your workouts help and how important it is move around and try and stay as active as you can 😊 I loved the arm swing exercises with the down, bend, up element - I really had to focus when doing these, but I did manage to do them after a few goes, yay. It was also nice to see the bingo and penguin routine again - especially as I’ve been told I do occasionally walk a bit like a penguin when I’m out and about haha Missed seeing Cooper today so please give him a big hug from me and hope you all have a great weekend/week. Thank you Polly, Amanda
Thanks again Polly Have a great weekend!
Thanks, Polly! That was a great class. Lots of moves I liked, like the Tire Drill, the step-touch move while pushing the ball forward for 7 that ends in a ball toss, bringing the ball around the torso twice then squatting and standing while bringing arms up overhead followed by a tricep press, etc. You said "Here comes the fun," and you were right!
Hi from LI NY
Just what I needed today!! My biggest problems is gait and not feeling like a windup toy soldier. Spinal stenosis is more the issue now than PD so not so much shuffling as stiffness. So grateful for all sessions!! Thanks so much ❤️👍👍
From india, love doing exercises with you, I'm 67,, years old after exercises lot of improvement, I've become flexible now, thanks
Hi Polly. Great session. Love the Bingo and penguin bit. The arm sings and the down-up bend-straighten exercise was tricky but I am sure it is good for the brain. Many thanks as usual. Paula and Jon
I again did d same pattern today.very interesting.❤❤😊😊
29:18 loved it as always. Tqsm. Love the music and the routine was challenging but I had a nice sense of accomplishment after I was done. So need that. 😍 I’m from Malaysia.
YAY for you! I'm really glad you had a sense of accomplishment...there is a lot to feel accomplished for. These exercises and patterns are difficult. Thanks for joining us from Malaysia!
Great way to end the week. Feeling much more flexible after this workout. Thanks again Lauren.
Muy buenos los ejercicios m
Thanx Polly. Very good cognitive session. Excellent compliment to gym work out where focus is on other faculties. Actually harder than one would expect. But beneficial. Would like more standing exercises. Two minutes near the end were a bit of a tease, at least for me. Also you showed us kangaroos and penguins. Where was Cooper today? Summer vacation?Alas!
Thanks Polly!
Ahoj Polly!!! I like your workout, it is fantastic. Thank you very much. Have a nice time.
Thanks Polly!
Thanks for joining us Ann!!
That was fun and interesting, congratulations Lauren !
Thank you so much Spencer - did you try some of the exercises? I forgot about that exercise with the ball overhead making circles.....I am going to that one again soon. It was fun!
Thanks for your comment Spencer!!
Challenging exercises. Need to do again. Thank you
Practice makes Better is one of our PFP mottos so we hope you have fun repeating this class!!
The patterning and coordination exercises have helped me to think clearly again I have been completing the brain and body classes every day and am so thankful for my improvement It is well worth the effort Thank you Polly I felt at home when you included the step over kangaroo Greetings from Marilynne in Australia
Hello Polly,today's class was fantastic n I enjoyed every bit of it.I hv pained knees so i avoid doing leg exercises,rest I do with great interest.Never miss ur class a single day.doing daily n feeling energetic.Thank u for ur sweet smile.
I enjoyed the class this morning. I found it to be well-paced with a variety of good patterns. I like the reminders to keep good posture! Thanks, again. Linda in San Diego
Thanks Lauren for your service to Parkinson’s. I enjoy doing all the exercises. I loved the ones with the ball
Thank you so much Grace. It has been a fun ride and I look forward to many more years of FUN exercise
Hey there Grace!! Thank you for joining us for this class!! We are glad you loved it :)
Such a great and challenging workout!
Yay!! That is so great to hear Vicki!!
Good exercises but I do have problem especially with cognition and the pace.
Hi friend thank you so much for your comment and for sharing. We encourage you to try to repeat the same class a few times to see how you go with the cognitive challenges.
Hello Polly, once again you were my company on a sleepless night. I finally managed to take a full class. I have been getting worse very quickly. Generalized pain keeps me away from physical exercise more and more and I enter a vicious cycle. I'm going to try to be stronger and take more classes, I don't want my body to deform so quickly!!! I can't give up now and PFP can help me! Let's go!!! Thanks Polly! Thank you PFP 🌷 Big hug
Great 👍 job!
Thanks so much Daniel!!
Really enjoyed going back to this exercise. Very energising and fun. Thanks a bunch Lauren.
