April is World Parkinson's Awareness Month.
On Tuesday 11th April those with Parkinson's and their friends, families, carers, doctors, nurses, consultants, physios and exercise specialists will be raising awareness of the disease with the sit2stand challenge.
It is very simple to do (see above): you sit on a chair and stand up, then sit down, then stand up, sit, stand, sit, stand etc.. as quickly as possible for one minute. Then repeat as many times during the day that you can manage (eg. once an hour from 8am to 8pm). It is quite tough, but very good exercise. Don't forget to write down how many sit2stands you do during the minute, then log your achievement at the website below. Globally, the aim is to record one million sit2stands, feel free to join in.
A bit more about the challenge:

I'm thrilled to share this! I recently discovered the Earthcure Herbal Clinic(www.earthcureherbalclinic.com) and never imagined the impact it would have on my family. Thanks to their natural remedies, my dad has fully recovered from Parkinson's disease, and I’ve successfully reversed my obesity and lost a significant amount of weight. I’m incredibly thankful to Dr. Madida Sam on Youtube and the entire Earthcure herbal clinic's teams for helping us reclaim our health.
I battled advanced Parkinson’s disease for 8 years, starting at age 56. My symptoms included tremors, muscle stiffness, slow movement, and severe balance issues. Despite trying many conventional treatments, nothing brought lasting relief. Then I discovered the P-D treatment program from Dr. Madida Sam at Earth Cure Herbal Clinic. I found their contact at www.earthcureherbalclinic.com and reached out via email at info@earthcureherbalclinic.com. Within 6 months of starting the program, my symptoms were completely gone, something I never thought possible. I'm incredibly grateful to Dr. Madida Sam and his team for helping me regain my life. If you're struggling with chronic illness and looking for an alternative approach, I highly recommend giving this a try. It truly changed everything for me.
Okay so I did this today. I could not emulate the high standards depicted in the example above. 61 in one minute???!! My best was 23. I totalled 159 because I forgot a few times, and someone else did one minute with me so I snuck in their score. That was fun, I should do it everyday, it's a good workout somehow!
This is great, I'm gonna do it!
