Regular exercise can help with Parkin... - Parkinson's New Z...
Regular exercise can help with Parkinson's. What sort of exercise have you found helpful?
I 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.
Yes I play golf once a week, walk the course, enjoy the company too.
Where do you play?
Judith, I play just up the road from your club at Coringa. I have been there over 40 years--feel a bit like part of the woodwork. I have been on single figures years back, but now play on a 26 handicap. I play once a week (18 holes) and belong to a hiking group as well. Grace
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
