Smovey Rings

Smovey rings are swinging rings with steel balls inside. You hold one ring in each hand and swing them while walking or standing. The balls create vibrations that you can feel all the way up into your shoulders. This makes for a full-body workout for arms, shoulders, core and coordination. They were invented by an Austrian man who had Parkinson's himself (History of the Smovey rings).

What Does the Research Say?

I don't know of any studies specifically on Parkinson's. But for exercise in general, the evidence is very strong. You can read more about that under Sports and Exercise.

My Experience

I have been using the rings regularly since the end of July 2023. To be open about it: the company gave them to me for free. For every other method on this site, I have not received anything for free.

My Conclusion

Simple, inexpensive and usable anywhere. Highly recommended.
