If u have participated in the LS BIG program, can u tell me how it has helped u ?

I participated recently. Hence, a little hard to judge. Obviously, no real change in underlying symptoms, but still I feel it may be helpful. Unless you are already on a hard exercise program it may help you to find better exercise habits. At least, that is what I hope it will do for me.

You asked about experience with LSVT BIG. My experience with LSVT BIG has been very positive. It focuses on three principles of movement. Intensity, Amplitude and Calibration.

Move hard, move far and learn to be aware body location (calibrate). A Taichi like Mindfulness Learn adaptive “Free Walking”, Positive for Posture and gait. Shown that I

control movement means a lot.

i am midway thru the power! program, which is the intensified lsvt big program. i witnessed my mom go thru the lsvt big program last year, she is 85 yrs old. It helps. every little bit of help counts! it has made me more aware of my slouched posture, slow movement, and weak muscles.. i thought i was so fit haha! Just do it! It gives me targeted exercises for pd people specifically. I have a trainer also, but this is program has 'tweaked' my exercise regimen and awareness.

It helped me greatly with agility,flexibility and my vocal amplitude.

I have been performing aspects of this program for 8 years. It definitely helps. One thing about it is that there has to be consistent performance for it to work over time. It's true for all exercises. Use it or lose it.... the best exercise routine is that which you enjoy and will perform over time.

How can I get involved in this program? I don't know of one in San Francisco...
