Regular exercise can help with Parkinson's. What sort of exercise have you found helpful?
ParkinsonsNZ1Parkinson's New Zealand55 VotersI am keen to do dance classes for PWP and have put my name dowm but presumably we need more takers.....
I also attend the gym once a week at the moment and do cardio and resistance work.
I find mental/physical relaxation techniques helpful
I attend dance lessons two nights a week - ballroom and ceroc.
chi gong and aikido help alot with balance, stamina and co-ordination
Chi gong helped with my balance and I walk a couple of times a week.
I exercise every if I can.I get to the gym at least three days a week. After giving up running pre - Parkinson's ( for about six years) due to severe cramping in my feet I started running on the treadmill. December 2011 I entered a 5k fun run and was first in my age group. Some days I can run some days I can't . On those "can't " days I walk. My goal this year is to do a 10k fun run. If I had someone to walk with I would definitely be using the Nordic walking poles I purchased some time ago. My fitness is my strength not only physically but mentally as wil.
I am walking as an exercise for the last 60 years.
Earlier,it used to be more than 5 Km per day.
Now around 2 Km per day.
I am comfortable and active.
Hi
I found any sport or work where the focus is on the sport you play or work you do and not on the exercise you do or get from your exercise .
I play you golf at least twice a week 18 holes and walk the course with an electric buggy.
Where do you play?
Cycling - high cadence (80 - 90 RPM) on a stationary bike for 30 minutes per day, 7 days per week
- cycling 15 - 20km per day on a road bike 3 times per week
