What is Parkinson Disease?

Parkinson disease is a progressive neurological disorder that results in deterioration of neurons in a region of the brain that controls movement

Parkinson disease is caused by the death of the nerve cells in the substaia nigra, which produce the neurotransmitter dopamine.

THE BRAIN MUCSLE WORKOUT PROGRAM SEVERAL BENEFITS

The Brain Muscle Workout program is a progressive phisycal exercise program.The individualized programfor clinics will include a personalized programconsisting ofover 350 different exercises structred in 9 different stages throughout the year.By continuously teasing the body with balance and coordination challenges, the prgram simultaniously stumalates the brain, mucsles and nervous system

The Brain Musle Workout Program stresses the importance of several powerful concepts while exercising:

- An Intense brian activity and the positive effects of multitasking(raising heels and arms at the same time)

- Moderate cardiovascular and muscular activity.

- Neural Plasticity(changing constantly the program).The program will consist of over 350 exercises structured in 9 progressive levels.

- Progressive Proprioception exercises will strengthen the soft tissues of the different individuals.

- Constant change of the program will surprise the individual having
  to guess movements forcing the muscular, nervous ann cardiovascular system to work in harmony together.

BACKGROUND AND EDUCATION:

John Martin is Professor of Clinical Neurobiology and Behaviour(in psychiatry)and holds a joint appointment in the Department of Neurosurgery.He received his Ph.D. in neurophysiology from columbia University, where he studied spinal and cortical somatic sensory mechanisms, and subsequently received postdoctoral training in motor control.

Professor John Martin gives his opinion in

But it was not enough to know the change was there.Gonzalez-Wallace wanted ti know why."When i started seeing these unusual results, I found that no matter how much i was reading , I needed a professional opinion," says the trainer.John Martin,PhD, a neuroscientist at Columbia University, immediatly recognized the brain benifits of Gonzalez-Wallace's workouts.

"Michael's exercises require new coordination patterns, " says Martin."They seem to mix a hallenging posture requiring balace together with a limb movement.This may be similar to creating a cognitive reserve by learning a new language later in life, or leaning to play musical instrument.The exercises likely drive more neural activity in more partd of the brain.This can strengthen neural connetions in the action systems of the brain.Perhaps, the more you need to think during a complex movement, the more you recruit connecitons in the cognitve systems of the brain.While speculative, this may be a way for exercises that require you to think about your moves to benifit parts of the brain for memory and for learning facts."

The program is currently being reviewed and endorsed by psychiatrist, MD Dr Gregory Lombardo. According to DR Lombordo, who is board certified in adult, child and adolescent psychiatry and is a diplomate of the American Society of Clinical Psychopharmacology Gonzalez Wallace's brain muscle workout program may produce benefits in three different areas;

motor skiils,Psychiatric Benefits and Cardiovascular benefits.
