\n Four sessions are being staged, and they’re all free to attend.\n<\/p>\n
\n Keighley Amateur Boxing Club, in partnership with Parkinson’s UK, is spearheading the initiative.\n<\/p>\n
What to expect<\/p>\n
\n The course takes place at the Good Shepherd Centre, West Lane.\n<\/p>\n
\n A gentle warm-up will be followed by around an hour of tailored exercise, and then a warm-down and refreshments.\n<\/p>\n
\n No prior boxing experience is required.\n<\/p>\n
‘A safe and enjoyable way to stay active’<\/p>\n
\n Steve Kennedy, of Keighley Amateur Boxing Club, says: “Boxing can help improve motor skills, enhance balance and posture, and support cognitive function.\n<\/p>\n
\n “This tailored course offers a safe and enjoyable way to stay active.\n<\/p>\n
\n “It aims to promote physical wellbeing, social connection and confidence through accessible, non-contact boxing-based exercise.\n<\/p>\n
\n “We’re proud to provide a welcoming space where people with Parkinson\u2019s can move, connect and build confidence.”\n<\/p>\n
How to get involved<\/p>\n
\n Sessions are being held over the next four Thursdays, starting on October 30, between 10.30am and 12.30pm.\n<\/p>\n
\n People don’t have to attend every session.\n<\/p>\n
\n Carers are encouraged to accompany participants, and take part.\n<\/p>\n
