Our legs will be a little tired later but another challenged faced and overcome together!

Let’s do this!!

In one month, people all over the world will participate in a Sit to Stand challenge raising awareness for Parkinson's disease.

Why sit-to-stands? Sitting and standing is something we all do each day. For people with Parkinson's, balance can be something that is lost over time. Sit-to-stands recruit and engage stability muscles which can increase mobility, independence and improve balance.

Let's see if we can get 1,000,000 sit-to-stands on April 11th for World Parkinson Day!

Why is boxing so important to us?

Boxers train for speed, agility, accuracy and endurance. Rock Steady boxers train for a better quality of life today.

Boxing helps combat the symptoms of Parkinson's disease and has been shown to significantly improve balance. Recent studies published in 2021 report improved balance and function for those living with Parkinson's disease that participate in a community-based boxing exercise program like Rock Steady Boxing.
