There is no need for you to give up your activities because
of your Parkinson’s. Almost any form of exercise that you enjoy and that you
can carry out safely and without undue fatigue is beneficial. The benefit comes
in lots of different ways: physically in keeping your body fit and your joints
and muscles in good condition; emotionally through the enjoyment and the sense
of achievement; and sociallybecause you get out to meet people and have things to think
or talk about other than your Parkinson’s. If you have any doubts about your chosen
form of exercise, check with your doctor first.
