With the world in lockdown, how do you get the right amount of exercise? Exercise videos abound on the internet. Most of which provide a vital service to people seeking to stay fit. However, the majority are aimed at those who already have a certain level of fitness and flexibility. So, is there an exercise routine that works for all, regardless of fitness level? My guest today, Martin Christie certainly thinks so. In 2003 Martin introduced Nordic Walking to the UK, forming the company Nordic Walking U.K and developed the first instructor training courses to be approved by the Register of exercise professionals. Nordic Walking UK is the U.K’s largest outdoor fitness provider with over 2,000 weekly classes nationwide. In 2020 Martin and the team launched WALX, a true health club without walls, offering a range of outdoor walking fitness programmes to suit all abilities. Within WALX and Nordic Walking UK today, Martin leads the devlopment of the education programmes, creating training courses to educate instructors and leaders, ranging from community volunteers to neuro-physiotherapists. Martin is an active member of Parkinsons UK active exercise hub, the network at the forefront of advising on exercise for people with Parkinsons. He also regularly delivers hospital based training programmes to physiotherapists.

In this special Parkinson’s Awareness Month episode of When Life Gives You Parkinson’s, I chat with Dave Clark. Dave is a television presenter for SKY TV Sports from Leeds, England. He’s best known for anchoring darts and boxing coverage. His positivity is infectious. He was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in early 2011, but nearly a decade on he’s still broadcasting, has a great attitude, is raising tons of money and attention for the cause. Later this year, he will walk the length of Hadrian's Wall and climb Mount Everest to the base camp at 17,000ft, to raise funds for Parkinson's UK. He has already generated £500,000 towards the charity's work. He also recently announced he will be donating his brain to medical science – to help find a cure for Parkinson’s. During this conversation, we discuss what it was like to tell our bosses about our Parkinson’s, what it was like to meet The Boss (Bruce Springsteen) and why covering Muhammad Ali at the Atlanta Olympics back memories of his father. Dave and I also chat about how social media can be a blessing and curse, commiserate on the anxiety we feel as passengers in a car, and how frustrating it is that people still confuse our symptoms for intoxication. Dave also shared the follow advice for people newly diagnosed with Parkinson’s. He shares this with anyone who contacts him and ask for guidance. How to live a happy life with Parkinson’s by Dave Clark Live in the now. Try not to look too far in the future. Always have something in the diary that excites you. If music makes you happy, don’t live in a silent house where you can brood. Dance, even if you haven’t danced for years. Keep busy, but don’t feel guilty about having the odd sofa day. Stay sociable. If your friends don’t ring you, ring them and arrange to see them on a regular basis. Get up. Dress up. Show up. Never give up. Say YES to invitations, even if you’re feeling rubbish. Exercise makes you feel good, even if you can only manage to get to the corner shop – do it! Stretch every morning. Eat well. Try not to skip meals when you’re shaky. Food is brain fuel. Water makes up about 73-percent of the human brain and helps to make hormones and neurotransmitters. Talk to other people with Parkinson’s online. It’s a really supportive community. Their experience can help your experience. Build a support team around you with people you can trust: friends, neighbours, physio therapist, neurologist, pharmacist, etc. This is “Team YOU.” Only tell people about your Parkinson’s when you are ready. Other people’s grief about your diagnosis can be as hard to deal with and process as the diagnosis itself. Remember, people with Parkinson’s can do amazing things. Do something amazing.

Parkinson's is a progressive neurological condition, which causes problems in the brain and gets worse over time. The number of people diagnosed with Parkinson's in the UK is about 145,000 - around 1 adult in every 350.

The Parkinson's Social Club - which meets every Wednesday in the Red Street Community Centre, 62 Talke Road, Newcastle under Lyme, ST5 7AH, aims to meet this need. In this episode, Lorraine, Vice Chair of the Parkinson's Social Club, and Elke Henson, specialist neuro-psychiatry nurse at Combined Healthcare, chat to Fiona Campbell from the Combined Communications Team about the disease, how it affects people and the work the club does to support local people with Parkinsons.

Last month, Joe did something pretty amazing: he watched every single MCU movie (prior to Infinity War) over a single weekend, without any breaks inbetween. And as well as raising a ton of cash for Parkinson's UK, he spent the weekend livetweeting and recording short mini pod segments for Soundcloud after each film. So if you didn't catch any of that while it was going on, we've stitched every one of those little bits together - along with a freshly-recorded intro and outro with Seb and James along for the ride! Note that this podcast is technically the first time you'll hear Joe talk directly about Winter Soldier and Guardians of the Galaxy, since we haven't got as far as covering those on main episodes yet; and you'll also get to hear what happens when a man has to watch Thor: The Dark World in the small hours of a Sunday morning.
