After that statement in provided link: "The scientific evidence and the overwhelming and compelling testimony of PwPD make it clear that exercise should be first-line therapy for people with early PD with the goal of creating a lifestyle change."

Thanks for this very important reminder. On a nasty cold day in winter it can be a challenge to get the required level of exercise, but in order to hold back the tidal wave of increasing symptoms we have to "get on our bikes". 🚴🏃‍♀️🏊‍♀️

I’m at the gym right now!

I try to do 2 hours of gym exercise a day. An hour on the treadmill and an hour of stretching and isometrics. I’ve also made a LOT of friends here.

That would have to be quite the combination pill to substitute for all of the above !
