Here's a question: I try to stay very active every day. One of my favorite exercises is walking (not slowly strolling, but powerwalking). On any given day, I'll do an early morning walk of 6-7 miles before starting work. Then I take every opportunity to get in steps during the day. A typical walking day for me is (Phone number can only be seen by MyParkinsonsTeam users) steps. Sometimes more, occasionally less.
My question is, do you consider walking to be a good activity to deal with… read more
I'm quite active, walk every night after it's dark and when working outdoors on my property becomes impractical. My walk starts with a pretty tough elevation change, gets the cardio going for the rest of the walk. I'm thinking walking helps postpone balance issues.Keep up the good work !
Brenda, thanks for the suggestion of the Leslie Sansone
Videos. Balance and concomitant falling is my worst problem of PARKINSON'S.

Walking is a great exercise for everyone. I started power walking in my home to a Leslie Sansome video. It’s very aerobic and works the arms too which I needed. My balance has improved in just one month.
Walking is great! My husband and I walk every night.
If you’re looking for other exercises to consider try YouTube, search Parkinson’s exercises. One of my favorite is rock steady boxing the other is PWR. You can also look into why different exercises are good to add in periodically.
Sure, any exercise that helps your mind and body at the same time is great! Walking is also free and can be done almost anywhere.
