@A MyParkinsonsTeam Member, all of the research shows that the more intense the workout the better. Like most things, there is a point where anything can be too much and you may have reached that point. I would experiment with alternating intense workout days with less aggressive workout days. More importantly, make sure that it isn't just your Parkinsonian brain trying to fool you into thinking that your exercise routine is problematic. I battle with this on a daily basis and have learned to deal with it as the benefits from the exercise are many.
My experience of PD, and others I have spoken to, is that the symptoms of PD vary greatly from person to person so I feel it important to value each individuals experience.
