Last week we introduced you to our June Warrior Spirit Award winner – Eddie Anderson.

This week we look at some evidence of his progress throughout the 10 week challenge. From an exercise perspective we see Eddie improve his stability, power, accuracy and most importantly we can see a recalibration of the effort he is able to produce in his movement.

Although we did not practice any Cornett playing in our sessions (in fact I didn’t even know what a Cornett was until meeting Eddie!) we see and hear Eddie improve his crispness, volume and control.

Next week, I will be interviewing Eddie and discussing some of these left field improvements he noticed as he progressed through the challenge.

    Outstanding! So inspiring to see the progress, and as a fellow musician I think I need to practice more… that’s the one thing I need to work on for fine motor control. Thanks for sharing, well done Eddie!

Tracker

Tracker

The tracker is designed to help you track the amount of time you spend in scheduled exercise each day. Scheduled exercise is activity you have prioritised in your day for health and to help slow your Parkinson’s down. This might include PD Warrior exercise, fast walking, golfing, going to the gym etc. It does not include incidental activity such as housework & gardening (although we hope this increases too). The aim of the tracker is to help you build an exercise habit and to keep you accountable, so try and enter something each day.
At the end of the 10 Week Challenge you can download and review your overall performance.
