Advice & Tips
As of Sept 1, 2010, I am lumping walking together with the other aerobic exercise I do - running, exercise bike, elliptical.

Advice & Tips
Walking can be either standard walking or racewalking. The latter is more strenuous than jogging at the same speed, but without the pounding of running or jogging. Once you're in good shape, it's a nice change to try racewalking for a few hundred yards in the middle of a walking workout. It also helps your speed, which is probably something all of us Parkinson's patients could use.

Advice & Tips
Treatments and drugs can interact with each other. In my case, there was a positive interaction with walking, Mirapex, and Azilect. See "About Me" in my profile. In late 2008, when I walked fast for several minutes (during exercise) I often tended to freeze, and would have to stop walking. A few months later, when I started to freeze I would be able to continue walking, just slower for a few minutes, and then resume. By Oct of 2009 even if I started to freeze while running fast, I would be able to slow down (still running) and keep from freezing. I believe that pushing yourself - hard - on a regular basis (once a week or so) can help alleviate your symptoms and improve you functioning.

Advice & Tips
There are days when getting out of bed is an issue, then there are days where I can walk several hundred yards. I always try to do all I can without putting myself into a "fatigued" state. Most days a turtle will pass me up but at least I'm out there putting in the effort. I should have bought stock in the maker of soles for tennis shoes, between foot drop and foot drag shoes don't last very long.

Advice & Tips
I have been going to the mall 3x per week, walking one lap around (one mile). The biggest downside to this is the expense for gas and the time it takes to get there. I really enjoy it, though... it gets me out of the house.

$25-49 monthly
