Adding Boxing to our PWR! Program intermittently using, stretching, lateral footwork, punching bags, peer challenge, and walking while following protocol is an important part of helping to deal with randomness of situations one may come across in everyday life.
The modified boxing routine is Jabs, Roundhouse Punch, and Uppercut.
The improvement experienced is improvements in gait velocity, endurance, balance and depending on the individual increase in confidence.
And the picture shows us having FUN!
Our class is held two days a week on Tuesday and Thursday, at 1:30 p.m. in the HOA-1 Arts and Crafts Center room #3. Two days a week is really not enough, and members would benefit greatly participating in two more sessions a week.
