Get excited – you are about to experience the most FUN and engaging virtual Moving Day @ Home experience! Are you ready to spread awareness and raise funds for Parkinson’s Disease? Well the Fall 2023 Moving Day at Home event is live! Participants now have access to the kickoff We Move ceremony and the Spotify playlist, where you will find an audio broadcast sharing stories and facts about PD, and includes a fun, motivational playlist to keep your energy up. So, grab your phone, headphones, and walking shoes and lets start moving.
Remember, you can walk, run, hike or do any other activity that you are comfortable with. Moving Day @ Home is not a race! The goal is to exercise for the 90,000 people diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease each year.
Now, let’s get you ready to move! A little bit of preparation will set you up for a fantastic walk day and recovery.
Prep Your Technology:
Make sure you have the Spotify app downloaded on your mobile device. If you do not have a Spotify account, click here to sign up. You do not need a paid account to access this program.
Prep Your Walk:
1. Plan a great route. Find a safe route keeping traffic and terrain in mind. The more uninterrupted the route, the better! Invite family and friends to join you.
• Outdoor walkers/runners/hikers: Make sure you are active in an area with good cell phone coverage.
• Indoor participants: Make sure that your phone is with you while you move (hand, armband, side pocket).
2. Tee yourself up for success. Come into walk day well-rested, lay out your Moving Day gear the day before and be ready to have a lot of fun!
Prep Your Recovery:
1. Celebrate your finish by sharing photos of your experience on your social accounts. Make sure to use the hashtag #MovingDayatHome.
2. Rehydrate, refuel and take care of those muscles!
