Let's talk about Jukestir—a punching bag with a big heart, doing some amazing things for people with Parkinson's disease. In this post, we'll dive into how Jukestir, with its soft feel and wiggly moves, is making a real difference, thanks to Rock Steady Boxing.
Unveiling Jukestir's Impact
A Different Kind of Boxing Buddy
Jukestir is not your regular punching bag. It's made up of three soft sections with weights inside that make it move in unexpected ways. This unique setup challenges folks, giving both their bodies and brains a good workout.
Boosting Footwork Fun
When you see Jukestir in action at Rock Steady Boxing, you'll notice something cool—it's helping people with Parkinson's improve their footwork. The bag is soft on the joints and gives a safe space for folks to work on their balance and how they move their feet. It's like a dance party with a purpose!
Jukestir vs. Traditional Punching Bags
Soft and Easy on the Joints
Regular heavy punching bags can be tough on the body. Jukestir is different—it's soft, so it's kinder to joints. This makes it great for people with Parkinson's who want a workout that's gentle but still packs a punch.
Surprise Moves for Brain Power
What makes Jukestir stand out is its secret weapon—unpredictable motion. The weights inside make it move in surprising ways. This not only keeps things interesting but also gives the brain a good workout. It's like a little surprise party for your nervous system!

How much is the Lukestir?
Caroline McGaughey
My Partner, who is 66 years old, was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease last year. We noticed that he was experiencing hallucinations, slow movement, disturbed sleep, and twitchy hands and legs when at rest. He had to stop taking pramipexole (Sifrol), carbidopa/levodopa, and 2 mg of biperiden because of side effects. Our family doctor recommended a PD-5 treatment from natural herbs centre , which my husband has been undergoing for several months now. Exercise has been very beneficial. He has shown great improvement with the treatment thus far. He is more active now, does more, and feels less apathetic. He has more energy and can do more activities in a day than he did before. As far as tremors I observe a progress, he improved drastically. I thought I would share my husband’s story in case it could be helpful, but ultimately you have to figure out what works best for you. Salutations and well wishes
