Advice & Tips
I've worked really hard on my balance. In fact, it's now the best it's ever been. I listed balance exercises I do at http://home.earthlink.net/~strkl/balance.html I listed a type of exercise that seems to help with my dystonia at http://home.earthlink.net/~strkl/dystonia.html

Advice & Tips
I have noticed that if I miss about three days of exercise, my medications don't work nearly as well. So one of the unexpected positive effects of exercise is that I need less medication that I would need otherwise. Also, while (mild) fatigue is a side effect, I have much more energy when I exercise regularly, than when I don't. I usually exercise first thing in the morning, because that's when I feel the best. If I exercise in the afternoon, I tend to freeze unless I take a nap first.

Advice & Tips
I'm lumping all my aerobic exercise (exercise bike, walking, running, elliptical) into one category - physical exercise. I do about forty minutes each day. I still list weights separately. I've found that my Parkinson's is much better controlled when I exercise regularly. The cost I list is the cost of my gym membership, plus a little extra for shoes and exercise clothes.

Advice & Tips
As of Sept 2010, I am exercising about forty minutes a day. Most days I will combine exercise bicycle with walking and some running. One day a week I will warm up for ten to fifteen minutes on an exercise bike and/or some walking, then lift weights for about half an hour.

Advice & Tips
See my evaluations of exercise bicycle, elliptical trainer, walking, weight training, and running. I've been exercising regularly - mostly running - for over forty years. One major unexpected benefit - I almost never get sick - I seldom get as much as a cold.

Advice & Tips
I am glad that I went through PT. It showed me how to properly walk again. I had not realized how much I had gone down. I now understand the importance of exercise.

Advice & Tips
My neuro recommended that I begin Physical Therapy. Once I started, I realized just how badly I walked and how my muscles had deteriorated. PT help me walk better and reduced my leg and foot pain.
