Steady As A Rock

Steady as a Rock is a fully illustrated inspiring story, told in the first person, of a group of senior citizens who find relief from the complications of Parkinson's and much more by regularly attending a boxing class entitled Rock Steady Boxing. By working out together, friendships abound and participants find they are no longer fighting alone the effects of the disease. The book documents the benefits of stepping out of your comfort zone. To quote the words of one participant, "We work out hard. And we have fun. Sometimes we work out to our favorite music-music from the 60's and 70's-and for a brief time we feel like the carefree young adults we once were before Parkinson's controlled our movement." And another, "After so many months working out together, we truly are friends, we are there for each other".
