By Thomas McDonald


Parkinsons diseases, a degenerative disorder in central nervous system develop gradually over time and affects the motor system mainly. Symptoms come slowly usually with these early ones being slowness of movement, shaking, difficulty with walking and rigidity. Problems in behavior and thinking may happen like depression, anxiety and dementia in advance stages being common.

Exact cause for this disease is unknown though factors in genetics and environment are believed to be involved with their development. No cure has been made for this but initial treatment are available which becomes less effective after some time. An example of this is Parkinsons disease exercise that improves peace of mind, stability and balance.

Their benefits include improvement of symptoms and their gait, coordination, grip, flexibility and balance when maintained. This could decrease complications and risks of falls which can worsen the condition if not avoided. Recommended exercises for these are tai chi, yoga, walking on treadmill and biking that will help slow its progression.

Before starting these activities, remember to keep yourself safe first by wearing clothing and shoes that are comfortable which gives good support. Be sure to have the correct safety gears for your activity such as bike helmet, knee pads and elbow pads when cycling. Good posture is important for good balance and aligning them correctly makes the movement stable and efficient.

Do these exercises while your medications or medicines are working well and you were able to rest well too. If a specific exercise will cause pain to you then stop it because you should do every movement with proper control to prevent injury. Recognize if you feel tired and when you overexerted yourself that day, take a break the next day from your routine for your energy to heal and be restored.

Perform daily simple stretches and exercises for posture while you avoid to bounce yourself and follow various routine every day that incorporates balance and strength. Aim in doing aerobic activities like biking, walking and swimming three days in a week with twenty minutes each. Try exercise videos and home equipment if getting out will be difficult.

Challenge yourself on keeping the intensity level higher which for you may feel hard as each person would feel different. Researches have studied that to achieve the best results, great intensity for long periods help. Although begin slowly first with an activity within four days in a week then slowly increase it when you become capable to do more.

Pick something you like doing because exercising should not be something limited to gyms or a painful slog. Although be realistic with your expectations specially when you rarely do physical activities before so begin first with small bits and slowly increase it. Doing this together with friends or loved ones have additional benefits of accountability, support and fun.

Be consistent by continuing on doing this longer because programs that lasts for months will give more benefits than those lasting for some weeks. Safety is important with possible injuries setting you back with your program and aggravating your disease potentially. Remember to stop when pain is felt, wear proper gear, cool down, warm up and stretch.
