Hi Polli, thank you for your exciting class. I loved the exercises though I couldn’t do them at faster pace. So I am going to try again today. I live in Perth, Western Australia and we are 12hrs ahead of you. I managed to do the live exercise. I am more relaxed at late nights. So it workout well for me to do the PFP exercises 11pm or 12am. Thank you again for your exercise classes.

Hello again Polly, Cooper and all at PfP! This class was another really great all-rounder for me and I got right back into the swing of things by working out from a sitting position, which I needed. Parts that I really enjoyed today were the right and left exercises, whilst using the scarf, particularly the range of motion exercises; I found these both interesting and fun too. I also loved those exercises while counting, as well as spelling out words both forwards and backwards both challenging and enjoyable too. These exercises really got my heart rate up too, so that was a real bonus! I also enjoyed and took part in the standing and co-ordination arm exercises – note to self to practise these more! Haha
I’m always so impressed at how you manage to come up with all the different routines Polly – always keeping it varied, interesting and challenging at the same time. You really do a great job of encouraging us all to keep going with both a smile on your face and with enthusiasm! Warm regards to you Polly and every one at PfP. Keep up the great work you all do, Amanda x
Ps Was great to see Cooper being his enthusiastic self again 😂 – please give him a big hug from me x

Nice workout with most exercises seated but some with the option to stand. I love the coordination exercises although I have to pause them and repeat them to make sure I am doing them correctly... good practice. I always enjoy exercising to music, too. Thank you! Linda (from San Diego) Give a hug to Cooper... what a good boy!

[JonDiaper]

Hi Polly. A great session on a Friday for us. Using the cloth worked well. It is another thing for Paula to think about and therefore added another challenge. We love doing the counting and spelling out loud as well. Always good to get the brain doing a number of things at once. Have a great weekend. Paula and Jon

Thanks Polly and Cooper! Managed to cover almost all my weak areas...what fun!

[lauraschmuck]

I loved the last part of the exercise workout with the music. It made me feel like I was doing Zumba. I used to do Zumba all the time.

[MarjorieWilmer-dxzt]

I enjoyed the time with the exercise thank you.

[mosheofer]

Namaste Polly! Love you sessions. May be you can add some special exercises for the left side of the body. It is my weak side practically forever. I hope I'm not asking too much.

[carolynk]

Thanks, Polly and Cooper! The coordination exercises were very challenging but still fun. The scarf was a good variation. I'm happy that I was able to do the last part standing. Definite progress for me.

[marcelstrigberger]

Enjoyable and beneficial Polly. The patterns do take a number of tries before we can get them right. Wrong hand goes up or across or feet get confused. But it soon runs smoothly. Also liked the behind the scenes tour. I always wondered where Cooper goes when he leaves your side. A good walk is always good for a handsome dog.🐕‍🦺

[sukhwindersaini]

Thank you for exercise demo
I could do these

[holland]

High speed and challenging. Thanks to Cooper for giving us a tour of your new digs. Fun to see the space and Nina exercising along with Polly. Do people stop at your big windows to watch? Thanks and happy June.

[ramamalik]

Very beautiful polly but it was too fast for me.I could not do it properly but it was great fun

[nganguyen-ugoc]

Thanks Polly.Good worked out for Monday!

I've been enjoying your videos so much that I ofen do three vides in row and that makes me really tired, the most poweful remedy for falling sleep fast at night. I have a request, Can you include a trampline in your exercises. I have been doing it since I was recommended by my PD friend of more than 10 years. I heard some doctors say feeling vetical G shock is good for the brain and the movement helps the fluid to travel faster, thereby washing or cleaning the brain of unwanted thigns like amyloid B, so called trash protein that caues the nervous cells to die, making them unable to produce dopamine, There is medicine now for that purpose, But if walking and jumping on a tramolin helps, it is even better than taking medicines, Because it is so much fun! I know there are many videos using tr amoline but I wish there were especially made those for those with Parkinsons'. Please consider it. Thank you, Polly and Cooper!
