An elderly man with Parkinson’s disease is inspiring others with his intense workout schedule - a routine he hopes will prolong the time he has left with his beloved wife and family. Wheelchair-bound Julian Kossow, 87, has been fighting the degenerative disease four days a week with personal trainer Michael Daniels, in Washington, DC, sharing his workouts on social media. Michael, 28, calls Julian his brother, as he lost his great-grandmother to Parkinson’s and had first-hand experience of the disease before he started working with Julian two years ago. Michael said he was too young to help his great-grandmother in her fight, and so he sees his relationship with Julian as a second chance to help someone battle the disease. Julian's reasons for working out are family-driven, as he said he hopes that keeping active and fighting back against the illness will allow him to spend more time with his wife and his family. As coronavirus precautions started closing down parts of the country, Julian couldn’t leave his house because of the risks involved, ruling out the gym - but was determined to keep moving. And so, Michael was able to bring the workouts to his client, taking the necessary precautions by wearing a mask, gloves and staying a safe distance. In some of the videos Michael shared, Julian uses bands to carry out push and pull exercises, while in others, his uses all his strength to punch a cushion or march his feet on the floor. It was Julian who initially called Michael to become his personal trainer two years ago, and by working together the pair hope to slow the deterioration that comes with Julian's illness. Following each session, Michael records Julian's progress to show his wife.
