Nordic Walking for Parkinson's: cool down exercises

Nordic Walking is a popular exercise for people living with Parkinson’s. This video is the third in a series of three which will talk you through some cool-down exercises to use following your Nordic Walk. You should already have completed our warm-up exercise video as well as a video of exercises specially designed for people living with Parkinson’s. Exercise is not without its risks. As with any exercise program, if at any point during your workout you begin to feel faint, dizzy or have physical discomfort, you should stop immediately. If necessary you should consult with your doctor or relevant medical professional before undertaking this exercise programme. You are also welcome to pause the video at any point if you start to feel tired or need a drink of water. These exercises are safe to do indoors – just make sure you have plenty of space for your poles. Some of the exercises are suitable to do seated so do have a chair nearby if you think that your balance needs it. The exercises are all based on those taught within the INWA (International Nordic Walking Federation) method and have been adapted as appropriate for people living with Parkinson’s by instructors experienced of working with this group. British Nordic Walking is working with Parkinson’s UK to help introduce people living with Parkinson’s to the benefits of Nordic Walking.
